/aimlac-grouper

Primary LanguagePython

Usage

Note: in the following, X is going to be 0 or 1.

  • Fill the Software dev Expertise column in cohort.202X.csv with integer values between 0 and 2
  • run 
    ./make_groups.py 4 cohort.202X.csv
    to make 4 groups. Change 4->N if you want N groups. Note: with less than 4 groups, we get institution/theme repetitions.
  • A plot with diagnostics of the simulated annealing is going to be shown, and the teams.

Parameters & Inner workings

  • All the parameters can be tweaked inside make_groups.py.
  • the cost function can be tweaked in the cost.py file. There is a contribution due to pair interactions (which can be split between categorical and numerical dimensions) and contributions due to "global" imbalances.

Note on privacy

All data in cohort.202X.csv comes from http://cdt-aimlac.org/cdt-cohorts.html and is thus publicly available, except from the Software dev Expertise column which is random data.
