- You will make one submission to Kaggle using Random Forests using any method of your choice.
- This problem is very short and straightforward, so there will be no groups.
- Also, to minimize cognitive load, you will use the same data and model formula as in PS7 on LASSO.
- By Friday 4/17 9pm Eastern (note evening due time) you must submit all your work on GitHub.
- However instead of submiting work as you have been until now, we’re going to practice the “GitHub Pull Request” flow. This is how crowd-sourced open source collaboration on GitHub works.
- “If others can’t reproduce your work, they will throw it in the trash.” Submissions that don’t knit will be penalized harshly.
- “Presentation and communication-style matters.” Related to point
above, for example
- Plots: Keep the “ink-to-information” ratio in mind. Ensure your plots have labeled axes and informative titles.
- Use markdown formatting to make your presentation effective.
- Is code cleanly written, well-documented, and well-formatted. As the semester progresses, I’ll be giving feedback from The tidyverse style guide.
- As long as you make one valid submission to Kaggle using any Random Forest, you are good.
