Thank you! As a baseball fan and a computer science student, I really love your teaching video! :)

[@numeristical]

Glad you're enjoying the videos!

Love this content! I use physical and a little bit of statistical modelling in my career. I was interested in doing something like this for fun, so your videos have been a great introduction!

Glad you like it!

I want to learn how to build models. Specifically for sport predictions. I’m getting ready to start my journey with Part 1 of your youtube series; Baseball Prediction using Machine Learning. Am i biting off more than i can chew by not having a background in this field? If the creator can reply with any advice before i tackle this challenge, i would greatly appreciate it. I will be depending mostly on these videos with some 3rd party resources for clarification or more detail info in areas im having issues with..Can i do this?

[@My_oh_face]

okay, starting @ Part 1. wish me luck

At 8:30, we see there is 162 columns in your file. Coincidence that the number of columns is equal to the number of games a team play in a mlb season?

[@numeristical]

Haha - yes, total coincidence!

I'm completely new at this, I got python and anaconda and and jupytr notebook and all that installed now, i got the retrosheet data downloaded, and I'm trying to open it on the notebook but i'm stuck here lol. I couldn't see how you did it, it looks like you already had yours loaded up

[@numeristical]

I use the pd.read_csv() function to open the file. It's in the notebook I share online. Not sure if this answers your question but hope it helps.

hi there. i am following along within spyder and chunk 21 is giving me trouble. here is the errors i am getting in the console: def strip_suffix(x, suff): File "", line 1 def strip_suffix(x, suff): ^ SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing if x.endswith(suff): File "", line 1 if x.endswith(suff): ^ SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing return x[:-len(suff)] File "", line 1 return x[:-len(suff)] ^ SyntaxError: 'return' outside function else: File "", line 1 else: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax return x File "", line 1 return x ^ SyntaxError: 'return' outside function lmk if you know of any way to remedy this. thanks so much!

I'm not sure what is causing that. I would try using Jupyter notebook / lab instead of Spyder. It seems to be finding minor syntax errors, but the code runs in Jupyter so it is probably some weird formatting thing that Spyder is changing.
