Project Outline:
THe project was focused on using boosting trees, random forests and comparing them to linear models. It also gave a bit of an exercise in picking variables to model by. The data it focused on was different news categories hosted on mashable.com
• what would you do differently?
I would probably spend more time trying a lot of different models. I’d also like to check how much we gain by each variable and let that help create our model. There were some techniques from ST518 that I really wanted to try out.
• what was the most difficult part for you?
The most difficult part for me was getting an idea of what the data looked like so I could have some meaningful choices on what to touch.
• what are your big take-aways from this project?
My big take away is to establish a template for formatting both with the data and the actual document so that there is no need to go back through and check.
I think my partner and I worked really well together. Evan definitely knew what he was doing with the code and it was nice to use him as a reference for accomplishing certain things.
