Introduction

Python Individual is a project which bases on a Maschine Learning project on Capital Bike Sharing in Washington DC.
The task was to reproduce the initial project using Dask in order to enhance the knowledge on parallel computing.

Most of the files are saved in a GitHub repository. The dataset can be accessed at Kaggle.
For ease of use, the dataset is also loaded into a seperate Gist so that when running the notebook, the download of the dataset runs automatically.
