Analysis Goal

Use the given data to classify handwritten digits. There is only one task associated with this analysis, an IMRAD. Given that this is a benchmark dataset, the analysis can be more about comparing the performance of methods than using the methods in practice.


Data


IMRAD

For this analysis, do the following:


IMRAD Submission

Submit a .zip file to Compass that contains:

The zip file should contain no other files. (Whether or not these two files are within another folder does not matter.)

Submit your .zip file to the correct assignment on Compass2g. You are granted an unlimited number of submissions. Only your final submission will be graded.


R Environment

We assume that your R, R packages, and RStudio are all up-to-date. (Or at least as recent as the versions found on RStudio Cloud.) You’ve been warned.


R Style

Your code will be graded based on its style. We don’t expect you to have a mature coding style, so we have a list of rules which must be followed.

The following will be explicitly checked for in your code:

The following are suggested, but will not be directly assessed:

Much of this is derived from the tidyverse style guide. If you follow the tidyverse guide, be aware of our use of ^ and =.


Grading

This analysis is worth a total of 10 points.

Failure to submit the correct files will results in 0 points for the IMRAD.

If you submit multiple attempts, the final attempt will be graded. If your first submission is on time, but your final submission is late, you will incur the late submission penalty.
