New Changes to the Kaggle Progression System

Kaggle was founded on the principles of meritocracy, and our community has thrived as a place where anyone—regardless of background or degree—can earn accolades for their performance in machine learning competitions. Over the years, we’ve seen how one’s Kaggle rankings in competitions and community contributions can serve as powerful credentials in the data science industry.

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the newest and highest Kaggle tier of all: The Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmaster.

This next tier of achievement uses the same core value of meritocracy to give advanced Kagglers the recognition they so richly deserve.

(It does not make any changes to the existing points system.)

Choose Your Own Adventure

For each of the categories: Competitions, Kernels, and Discussion, you will be able to achieve the latest performance tier of Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmaster. You will still be able to advance tiers within each category independently. Your overall tier is the highest of the three individual category tiers.

All promotions to Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmaster must also be accompanied by a personal recommendation of a current Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmaster, and a notarized letter from an elected official highlighting one’s worthiness.

We have decided to posthumously award Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmaster status to Alan Turing, Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace.

We look forward to watching the community continue to compete, collaborate, and pursue personal growth in the evolving world of data science. We plan to take the following year to evaluate our progression system, and see if Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmaster status will need to be added next April 1st.

Happy Modeling!

Controlling legend appearance in ggplot2 with override.aes

[This article was first published on Very statisticious on Very statisticious , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers ]. (You can report issue about the content on this page here ) Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't. In ggplot2 , aesthetics and their scale_*() functions change both the plot appearance and the plot legend appearance simultaneously. The override.aes argument in guide_legend() allows the user to change only the legend appearance without affecting the rest of the plot. This is useful for making the legend more readable or for creating certain types of combined legends. In this post I’ll first introduce override.aes with a basic example and then go through three additional plotting scenarios to how other instances where override.aes comes in handy. Table of Contents R packages Introducing override.aes Adding a guides() layer Using the guide argument in scale_*() Changing multiple aesthetic par...

Using RStudio and LaTeX

(This article was first published on r – Experimental Behaviour , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) This post will explain how to integrate RStudio and LaTeX, especially the inclusion of well-formatted tables and nice-looking graphs and figures produced in RStudio and imported to LaTeX. To follow along you will need RStudio, MS Excel and LaTeX. Using tikzdevice to insert R Graphs into LaTeX I am a very visual thinker. If I want to understand a concept I usually and subconsciously try to visualise it. Therefore, more my PhD I tried to transport a lot of empirical insights by means of  visualization . These range from histograms, or violin plots to show distributions, over bargraphs including error bars to compare means, to interaction- or conditional effects of regression models. For quite a while it was very tedious to include such graphs in LaTeX documents. I tried several ways, like saving them as pdf and then including them in LaTeX as pdf, or any other file ...
