A logical, reasonably standardized, but flexible project structure for doing and sharing data science work.
- Python 2.7 or 3.5
- Cookiecutter Python package >= 1.4.0: This can be installed with pip by or conda depending on how you manage your Python packages:
$ pip install cookiecutter
or
$ conda config --add channels conda-forge
$ conda install cookiecutter

│ ├── processed <- The final, canonical data sets for modeling.
│ └── raw <- The original, immutable data dump.
│
├── models <- Trained and serialized models, model predictions, or model summaries
│
├── notebooks <- Jupyter notebooks. Naming convention is a number (for ordering),
│ the creator's initials, and a short `-` delimited description, e.g.
│ `1.0-jqp-initial-data-exploration`.
