19. Accurately Predicts success of petition Random Forest Classifier Train-Test-evaluation split with 5-fold CV AUC = 87.4%
20. Predicts signature accumulation rate Gradient Boosting Regressor: Least Squares loss function Train-Test-evaluation split with 5-fold CV RMSE = 1.6 79.7% within 1 93.1% within 2

22. Algorithms: Classification Random Forest Classifier (Scikit-Learn) Predict success/failure of petition Reasons for choosing: • Lots of complication yet resistant to overfitting Challenges: • Class imbalance in the data Validation: Train-Test-evaluation split with 5-fold CV Backup Slides
23. Algorithms: Regression GradientBoostingRegressor (Scikit-Learn) Predict signature accumulation rate Reasons for choosing: • Many features, highly non-linear, can return predicted “quantiles” Challenges: • The right evaluation metric? Validation: Train-Test-evaluation split with 5-fold CV Backup Slides
24. Insights: Backup Slides New Year’s resolution boom and bust?
