Disney Volatility Analysis

This project not only helped me practice real-world data preprocessing, feature engineering, and visualization, but also gave me experience in evaluating classification models — especially understanding how class imbalance can affect performance and how tools like SMOTE can help.

Daily Returns Plot

This graph displays the daily percentage change in Disney’s stock price over the course of one year (2022). It gives a visual sense of how volatile the stock was on a day-to-day basis.

The more jagged and wide the spikes (both upward and downward), the more volatile the stock is. This gives a good initial idea of the stock’s behavior during the year.
