  • Met with Andrew to discuss the efficacy of parsing simulation output into 10 partitions, performing a basic ensemble calculation of the value function
  • Created sample csv for Andrew detailing structure of training data
  • Learned github from Andrew's introduction. Escience institute staff (Andrew, Bill, Jake) assisted with downloading and getting started with github, including getting familiar with basic commands
  • Bill helped me set up blog repository and got me up to speed with prose.io
  • Committed basic R script to repository on github. Wrote first blog post on prose.io.
