Hi @Joel, how was the public and private test set split, was is it based on time or it was just a random split.
The rules dont mention how
Public-Private Split: Zindi maintains a public leaderboard and a private leaderboard for each challenge. The Public Leaderboard includes approximately 30% of the test dataset. The private leaderboard will be revealed at the close of the challenge and contains the remaining 70% of the test set.
An addition to this is it 20-80 or 30-70, because of this statement in the description..........Zindi maintains a public leaderboard and a private leaderboard for each challenge. The Public Leaderboard includes approximately 20% of the test dataset. While the challenge is open, the Public Leaderboard will rank the submitted solutions by the accuracy score they achieve. Upon close of the challenge, the Private Leaderboard, which covers the other 80% of the test dataset, will be made public and will constitute the final ranking for the challenge.
Hi @Brainiac & @keystats:
The data is first split into train and test using a time-based split. The test set is then split into public (30%) and private (70%) subsets using stratified random sampling.
Thanks for the clarification
