Lab Assignment 10 Instructions

Deadlines and Submission

In this 10th lab, we will try to select the best logistic regression model that yields the best test dataset fit.

Complete the “lab_10” Notebooks

Part 2a: Fetching the Lab Assignment from the Class Respository

Using your command line, navigate to your stat207 repository (cd Desktop -> cd stat207 -> cd NETID), replacing NETID with your own, and fetch the notebook from our release repository by running the following two git commands:

                
            git fetch release
            git merge release/lab_10 -m "Merging initial files"
            

ONLY IF you get an error related to unrelated histories, use:

                
            git merge release/lab_10 --allow-unrelated-histories -m "Merging initial files" 
            

Part 2b: Opening the Jupyter Notebook

One way to open the notebook (may not work)

Open the notebook with the command:

                
            jupyter notebook
            

Another way to open the notebook: IF you get an error about "jupyter is not recognized" when trying to do this, you can also open the notebook by doing the following.

• Searching for the "miniconda" program you just downloaded, and run what should say "Anaconda Prompt."
• This will open up the Anaconda Command Line window that is specifically for running python commands (for instance commands that install python packages or launch jupyter notebooks).
• If your Anaconda Command line window is not already there, navigate to your stat207 repository (cd Desktop -> cd stat207
• Run the code in this Anaconda Command Line Prompt window instead
  

                      
          jupyter notebook
              

Also another way to open the notebook:

• Search for the the program "jupyter" on your computer and run it.
• This will open a window that displays the file system of your computer. Navigate to the folder your notebook is saved in by clicking on the folder links.
• Once you've found your notebook, click on it to open it

Part 2c: Editing the Jupyter Notebook (aka Working on the Assignment)

Inside of the notebook webpage:

• Navigate into the folder containing lab_10.ipynb and open up the notebook
• Follow the instructions inside of the notebook

Whenever you are done, you should checkpoint (using File -> Save Checkpoint in the notebook) your notebook to save your work. Once your work is saved, you can exit the command line running the notebook with Ctrl + C.

Part 2d: Saving/Submitting your Notebook back to the Class Repository

When you’re ready to save your work online and/or submit your work, return to the command line and run:

                
            git add -A
            git commit -m "submission (or any message here)"
            git push
