    “I would say to Robertson what an old tutor of a college said to one of his pupils: ‘Read over your compositions, and where ever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out.’”

    Samuel Johnson in James Boswell’s “Life of Samuel Johnson”.

    There are some automated metrics, of which, be careful:

    pip3 install --user radon
radon cc .

  • learning to code well:

    • read other people’s code;
    • review code;
    • make other people review your code;
    • pair coding.
    • “is this the right way to think of the problem?”;
    • “have I expressed my thinking clearly in this code?”;
    • “what guarantee can I give that the code is correct?;
    • “under what circumstances is the code correct?”.

Teaching

GLM and testing exercise

  • testing, and t test volumes:

    • Validating the GLM against scipy;

    • pdb++ : pip3 install --user pdbpp;

    • Exercise:

      git clone https://github.com/psych-214-fall-2016/glmtools
cd glmtools
