contents The research focuses on determining the metallicity ([Fe/H]) predicted in the solar twin stars by using various regression modeling techniques which are, Random Forest, Linear Regression, Decision Tree, Support Vector, and Gradient Boosting. The data set that is taken into account here includes Stellar parameters and chemical abundances derived from a high-accuracy abundance catalog of solar twins from the GALAH survey. To overcome the missing values, intensive preprocessing techniques involving, imputation are done. Each model will subjected to training using different critical observables, which include, Mean Squared Error(MSE), Mean Absolute Error(MAE), Root Mean Squared Error(RMSE), and R-squared. Modeling is done by using, different feature sets like temperature: effective temperature(Teff), surface gravity: log g of 14-chemical-abundances namely, (([Na/Fe], [Mg/Fe], [Al/Fe], [Si/Fe], [Ca/Fe], [Sc/Fe], [Ti/Fe], [Cr/Fe], [Mn/Fe], [Ni/Fe], [Cu/Fe], [Zn/Fe], [Y/Fe], [Ba/Fe])). The target variable considered is the metallicity ([Fe/H]). The findings indicate that the Random Forest model achieved the highest accuracy, with an MSE of 0.001628 and an R-squared value of 0.9266. The results highlight the efficacy of ensemble methods in handling complex datasets with high dimensionality. Additionally, this study underscores the importance of selecting appropriate regression models for astronomical data analysis, providing a foundation for future research in predicting stellar properties with machine learning techniques.
