Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is assess your progress, identify and assess the severity of any difficulties, and plan for completion of the project.

Task

You will update your previously submitted project Problem Statement document to reflect the current status of your project, discuss difficulties, and plan for completion of the project.

Expectations of the Current Status of the Project

At this point you should have completed the following steps:

1.) You have access to your data sources and are able to work with the data.

2.) You have created a Github repository where you maintain your data and code for the project.

- Modify the heading of the README.md file to be an informative description of the project.
- Add a brief description of the purpose of the project.
- Add a section titled Data that describes the source of the data, with links to the source.
- Add the data sets to your Github repository.

3.) You have done any necessary data cleaning.

4.) You have performed some exploratory data analysis.

5.) You have specified your modeling question(s) and have performed at least some initial modeling.

Format for the Progress Report

Your progress report should be an edited version of your project Problem Statement document that reflects the true state of your project right now.
The report should include a link to the Github repository where your project is hosted.
The "Analytical Approach" and "Solution Techniques" sections should be better developed now. Describe your independent variables (X) and your dependent variable (y) in detail. Describe any preliminary results (e.g. accuracy or error from preliminary runs).

Add any Citations to the document as per the discussion in the Problem Statement requirements.
Directly before the Citations section, add a short section (half to single page is fine) "Plan for Completion".

Your "Plan for Completion" section should:
- Briefly reiterate where you are now (we have our data set, we have run a preliminary model, etc.) Be honest about this! The point is not to penalize you, just to give us all a realistic assessment of what needs to happen in the next three weeks.
- List the steps you need to take between now and the final presentation, with the estimated number of person/hours required for each.
- Describe any uncertainties or impediments to having a good solution and presentation done by the presentation day.
