Ranking Under Lower Uncertainty

The repository contains the code and supplementary documents associated with the paper What is the value of experimentation and measurement?, which has been published in the Data Science and Engineering Journal. An earlier version of the paper appeared in the IEEE ICDM 2019 conference, which used a separate codebase.

If you find the code useful for your work, please consider citing the underlying article

Setup

This file assumes you have access to a *nix-like machine (both MacOS or Linux would do).

The projects uses pyenv and poetry for package management. Before you start, please ensure you have gcc, make, and pip installed.

Installing pyenv

For Linux (together with other required libraries):

sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \
libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \
xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python3-openssl git
wget -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash

chmod u+x pyenv-installer
./pyenv-installer

For OS X:

brew install pyenv

We then need to configure the PATHs:

export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

...and install the right Python version for our environment:

pyenv install 3.9.10

Installing poetry

See https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation for the installation instructions.

Download the repository and sync the environment

git clone https://github.com/liuchbryan/ranking_under_lower_uncertainty.git
cd ranking_under_lower_uncertainty


# Switch to Python 3.9.10 for pyenv
pyenv local 3.9.10
poetry env use ~/.pyenv/versions/3.9.10/bin/python
poetry install

Run the Jupyter notebooks

poetry shell

Within the newly spawn up virtualenv shell, run

jupyter notebook

Once you are done, terminate the Jupyter server using Ctrl+C, and type exit to exit the virtualenv shell.
