Week Six

I always intend to start on projects earlier, but it is very difficult to not procrastinate without a partner to force you to work at specific times. Because of my very developed procrastination skills (read as level 100) I did not begin the assignment until tuesday evening. Surprisingly, however, I finished the project on time with a RMSE below 1.0. That should only affirm future choices to procrastinate.

The Netflix project was very interesting. At first, I was very intimidated by the task in front of me with no clue of how to accomplish it, but after sitting down for an hour in order to plan, it was clear what I had to do. My solution wasn't anything special. Basically, through a little trial and error, I found an equation of variables that produced an RMSE of below 1.0. This was after I learned that the solution suggested in class only provided an RMSE of 1.0033.

I'm beginning to like python more than java.

Until next week. Rock'n roll
