NOTE: Python 3 should be installed in order to run run_tester_r.py. You will not need to make changes to run_tester_r.py, it is used to test your submission.
Requirements: Python 3.6 or higher
Also ensure that R is installed on your machine. Installation information can be found here
We require your system to be able to run Rscript commands.
Files that are required for your submission to run successfully such as: models, files that you create must be stored in r.
Place required R packages in the requirements.txt file. These packages will be installed on the fly on our submission environment.
With that being said, our testing script run_tester_r.py will NOT install these packages; therefore, please ensure your system has the packages installed in order to test locally.
At all phases of the development process it is highly recommended to run py run_tester_r.py from within the r directory.
If your submission is not able to run with py run_tester_r.py it will NOT run on our platform.
This script will ensure that the submission folder satisfies:
|--README.md
|-- r
---|-- core.r
---|-- requirements.txt
---|-- submission.r
---|-- run_tester_r.py
|-- src
---|-- model_tester.py
---|-- scorer.py
|-- data.csv
The script run_tester_r.py will also run src/model_tester.py, and return a score.
The result & score can be found in the results folder that will be created upon successfully running py run_tester_r.py.
