A.1 Python Environment

Python was installed through the Anaconda distribution²².

The analysis documented should be reproduced using the same environment, thereby ensuring that the packages produce the same results and expose the API’s used in the code.

The environment can be created using the file environment.yml in the main repository directory at https://github.com/datarian/thesis-msc-statistics/tree/master/code/.

Once conda is installed the following two commands first set up the environment with all the analysis’ required packages, then activates that environment. Only after running these commands should the package kdd98 be installed and the notebooks evaluated.

> conda env create -f environment.yml
> source activate msc-thesis-fh
