I think you have to scale your data then the results would be better then before.
HI all!
This is my first postā¦ my code is on https://github.com/Payback80/drivendata_blood_donation
my score is 0.4269 with very few lines of code
preprocessing: check for NA, outliers, multicollinearity
feature engineering: some, check the code
strategy: xgboost and H2o automl

Hi all!
My score: 0.4350
Model used: vanilla logistic regression with 10-fold cross validation using caret in R
Pre-processing: remove total volume (100% correlation with number of donations)
Feature engineering: added new_donor variable (if months since last donation = months since first donation). I tried adding other variables like frequency (average months in between donations), interaction between the existing variables but didnt seem to improve performance much.
I have a question for anyone using the logLoss metrics in Caret. Do you get a negative logLoss? Itās weird I thought it should be higher than 0 but doesnāt seem to be the case.
My code:
bd_train <- trainControl(method=ārepeatedcvā, number = 10, repeats=3, savePredictions = TRUE, classProbs=TRUE, summaryFunction=mnLogLoss)
model_bd1 <- train(donated ~ mo_last + no_donation + mo_first + new_donor , data=blood_donation, method=āglmā, family=ābinomialā, trControl=bd_train, metric=ālogLossā)
Hi All! This is my first ever hands-on since completing DataCamp data scientist track )
Soā¦ rank 109 / 0.4349
Python (in PyCharm) with Keras, deep learning model comprised of BatchNorm layer, three Dense layers.
Model performs with around 0.5 loss and 0.72-ish accuracy metric.
Dropout layers did not improve much.
Hello,
Iām new to this competition. Iāve just begun to solve it. I only have RStudio, and Iām unable to find a package to calculate Log Loss. Any recommendation for free software that I could use would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
logloss <- function(z,y, eps=1e-13) {
#z: real values
#y: predicted values
#eps: numeric cero (0 would cause inifinte results)
y[y<eps]=eps
y[y>(1-eps)]=1-eps
l=mean(abs(z*log(y) + (1-z) * log(1-y)))
return(l)
}

Hello,
Did you make any progress? I am teaching a new course and I would like to give them real examples to work on, we are using Rstudio Cloud for R and Google Colab for Python.
Best regards,
