Sprint Challenge: Predict Steph Curry's Shots

Kaggle Challenge

For this challenge you'll build a model that will predict whether Steph Curry will make his next shot using 10 years of historical data.

Instructions

  1. Access the Challenge Notebook
  2. You can complete the assignment locally or in Google Colab. Make sure to Copy to your Google Drive.

What to Expect

In this sprint challenge, you'll apply everything you've learned about decision trees, random forests, cross-validation, and classification metrics to build a predictive model for basketball shots. This challenge will test your ability to:

  • Perform exploratory data analysis on sports statistics
  • Clean and preprocess data for machine learning
  • Build decision tree and random forest models
  • Fine-tune model hyperparameters using cross-validation
  • Evaluate model performance using appropriate classification metrics
  • Present your findings and model results clearly

Remember to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts from all four modules in this sprint!
