The csv file \"train\" contains data on the distance to the highway and average revenue for 30 restaurants$$\\{(x_i,R(x_i))\\}_{i=1}^{30},$$ You can use these data to create predictions of average revenue for the remaining 10 restaurants. For these 10 restaurants you only observe their distances to the highway in the csv file \"test.\" You can find an example of how your submission must look like in the csv file \"sample_submission.\"\n\n</p>\n<h2>File descriptions</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>train.csv</strong> - the training set</li>\n<li><strong>test.csv</strong> - the test set</li>\n<li><strong>sample_submission.csv</strong> - an example of a submission file in the correct format</li>\n\n\n<h2>Submission File:</h2>\n\n\nThe submission file <strong>must be in csv format</strong>. For every distance to the highway of the 10 restaurants, your submission files should contain two columns: \ndistance to the highway (x) and average revenue prediction (R). The file should contain a header and have the following format:\n\n<br>  &nbsp;&nbsp;x &nbsp;  ,&nbsp;&nbsp;  R\n<br> 1.047579, 34.43375\n<br> 1.926801, 36.83077\n<br> etc.\n<br> \n<br>A correct submission must be a csv file with one row of headers and 10 rows of numerical data, as displayed above. To ensure that you are uploading your predictions in the correct format, we recommend that you upload your predictions by editing the sample submission file. There is a limit of 10 submissions per day.\n\n\n",

      "content": "\n<h2>Description of the Competition</h2>\n\n<p>\nA large restaurant chain owns restaurants located along major highways. The average revenue of a restaurant located at distance (x) from the highway is (R(x)). For simplicity, the variable distance to the highway is normalized to be in the interval ([1,2]). The function (R(x)) is unknown. The goal of this competition is to predict the value of (R(x)) for several values of distances to the highway. Currently, the restaurant chain is located at 40 different locations. You will have access to $$\\{(x_i,R(x_i))\\}_{i=1}^{30},$$\ni.e., the distance to the highway and average revenue for 30 of these restaurants. Using these data, you must submit a prediction of average revenue for the remaining 10 restaurants, using their distances to the highway.\n</p>\n\n<p>You will find the necessary datasets in the Data tab. You can send up to 10 different submissions each day until the end of the competition. The deadline of the competition is \n\n<strong>Sunday September 26th at 23:59:59</strong>.</p>\n\n",
