Review Key Updates for NIJ's Recidivism Forecasting Challenge

 

NIJ has updated the Recidivism Forecasting Challenge to: Add missing deadlines under section X: Other Rules and Conditions. Provide a sample submission file. Updated the scoring section by adding: If an applicant fails to provide a probability for an individual in the test dataset it will be considered an incorrect forecast (i.e., if the individual did recidivate, it will be scored as though you forecasted a 0 probability; and, if the individual did not recidivate, it will be scored as though you forecasted a 1 probability). Correct variable names in the data file: _v1 becomes Prior_Arrest_Episodes_PPViolationCharges _v2 becomes Prior_Conviction_Episodes_PPViolationCharges _v3 becomes Prior_Conviction_Episodes_DomesticViolenceCharges _v4 becomes Prior_Conviction_Episodes_GunCharges LEARN MORE
