Calculating The Darcey Coefficient – Part 2 #strictlycomedancing #machinelearning #clojure #weka

In part 1 we looked at using linear regression, with the aid of a spreadsheet, to see if we could predict within a reasonable tolerance predict what Darcey Bussell's scoring would be based on Craig Revel Horwood's score. No big deal, it worked quite well, it took less thank five minutes and didn't interfere with me making a cup of tea. Linear Regression is all well and good but this is 2016, this is the year where every Northern Ireland company decides it's going to do artificial intelligence and machine learning with hardly any data…. So, we're going to upgrade the Darcey Coefficient and go all Techcrunch/Google/DeepMind on it, Darcey's predictions are now going to be an Artificial Neural Network! They're good but held with a small amount of skepticism.
