Week 9

The plan for this week was to test continuous and categorical data for gradient boosting and integrate regression and classification tree on larger datasets.

Day 1:

• Did a study on the dataset provided by Roger Dev. It had 5000 records, 52 attributes, and 7 classes.
• Developed script to read this data into ECL and verify the algorithm.

Day 2:

• On a parallel note spent this day studying Scopus data as part of my parallel project in connecting legislative and research documents.

Day 3:

• The dataset took a large time to run.
• Spent the rest of the day debugging the problem.
• Fixed the issue.

Day 4: 

• Wrote a naive scrapper to parse data from Scopus.
• Need to fetch large data. Planning over the weekend.

Day 5:
