echochamber 0.0.4

Using an Echo State Network to crawl Microprediction.Org

echochamber

This tiny project is an example of creating a time series crawler at www.microprediction.org Using some code adapted from pyESN written originally by Clemens Korndofer we create a "Crawler" which looks for univariate time series and supplies predictions for them.

Install

pip install echochamber pip install microprediction

Usage

See /examples

from microprediction import new_key
from echochamber import EchoCrawler

# Create and launch crawler

if __name__=="__main__":
    write_key = new_key(difficulty=10)    # Patience is a virtue
    print(write_key)
    crawler = EchoCrawler(n_reservoir=50)
    crawler.run()

To check its position on the leaderboards just plug in the write_key at https://www.microprediction.com/dashboard.html

Write_key

Generating may take half an hour or so. See www.muid.org for more information. We suggest you alter the code to hardwire your write_key.
