I do not have a lof of experience with the more advanced OOP features of Python or with NUMPY, so I spent some time reading up on the documentation. Then I spent a lot of time trying to install theano on my computer and on clusters to which I have access. Since I do not have GPUs locally, I looked into SSH tunneling to interact with compute nodes on clusters using Jupyter notebook. This last attempt wasn’t successful. A lot of time was also spent on setting up this blog using Jekyll.

This is the first post.

I have done some exploratory analysis of the dataset at hand. This is a link to the Jupyter notebook.

Below we test some markdown features.

Here is some python code:

s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s

>>> print(s)
Python syntax highlighting

Here is some R code:

set.seed(3623293)
n<-100
ni<-rpois(n,4)+2
#Number of regressors
p<-1

> ni

This is it for this post. In the next post I will explore Theano and train some neural networks.
