# Extra Credit Competition

 Welcome to the extra credit "competition" for CS5644.  Your job should you choose to accept it is to take the supplied data set and try to earn the top score.

## Data set 

The data comes from a common example test set but has been 'anonymized' somewhat so as not to giveaway it's origin or the answers.  After the end of the competition I will point you to the original data set.

## Example notebook

You can find an example notebook that makes a baseline model based on one of our first models that we learned about:  Decision Tree.  It also provides some simple code to make use of scikit-learn pipelines to perform basic imputation and one hot encoding.  There are some new and somewhat advanced techniques in there that you can read about in the documentation or get some more information in the pipeline module on the course website.

## Submitting for a grade and Grading
