For our in-class activity this week we talked about version numbers. We discussed what each number in the standard version number entails and what is required to meet that type of version change. Indidually we each released a version of our tool during class.
The version of the tool that I released was 0.1.0. I started here because my tool is at the minimum viability of use. It’s simple and rigid with no polishing. Another aspect that I considered was the quality of the prediction for the NBA games which is not nearly as good as I would like it to be. The linear model that I am using is simple and it uses a ranking system to determine the winner of a game. This only uses a few stats which is not realistic for a real NBA game. There are many more factors I want to include in the machine-learning aspect of the project.
For my tool to reach 1.1.0 or qualify for a major version there are a couple of things I would want to happen. First I want the quality of the data and the machine learning to be much higher. Currently, it is a simple model with low confidence. I want to make sure that it has a high confidence with quality machine learning prediction. I would also like the dashboard to look much prettier. In its current state, it’s pretty boring with a couple of good website features. These additions would constitute the upgrade from a minor to a major update to the tool.
