I made this a text post so I could give a bit of info before the link, rather than people just blindly clicking on it.
This was my first attempt at a Kaggle competition (previously I followed a tutorial on the Titanic set). I learned a lot from that tutorial, so I wanted to share this post on a basic attempt for the bike share competition so that others might learn a bit, as I did.
I'm just getting started in my masters program in Analytics, and haven't had any machine learning classes yet, so apologies in advance if I did or said something stupid.
I've since created a much more accurate model, but I think the model covered in the post is a decent starting point for other newbies, and I'd love to hear what others thought of it! The post uses R for the model, my python isn't quite up to snuff yet.
