# Enter the Titanic Kaggle competition

## Description

Enter the [Titanic competition on Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/c/titanic-gettingStarted) used to help new entrants learn about classification and using Kaggle.

## Objectives

### Learning Objectives

After completing this assignment, you should understand:

* Feature vectors
* Basic classification

### Performance Objectives

After completing this assignment, you should be able to:

* Use Pandas to generate CSV files
* Perform classification by hand

## Details

### Deliverables

* A Git repo called titanic containing at least:
* `README.md` file explaining how to run your project
* a `requirements.txt` file

### Requirements

* No PEP8 or Pyflakes warnings or errors

## Normal Mode

Go to [Kaggle](http://www.kaggle.com/) and sign up for an account. Once you have signed up, read through the [Titanic competition](https://www.kaggle.com/c/titanic-gettingStarted).

Read through the first three "Getting Started" sections (Excel, Python, Python II). Make one or more entries to the competition.

## Hard Mode

In addition to the requirements from **Normal Mode**:

Create a submission that gives you a public score greater than or equal to 0.78.
All code and data manipulation is within the IPython Notebook titled titanic.ipynb. I got lucky with my second entry with a high value and wasn't able to beat it with any of my subsequent efforts.
