Titanic Kaggle

On this page you can find more information about my first submission for a Kaggle competition. The goal is to use Machine Learning to determine which people survived the Titanic disaster and who did not.
How I did it

Summary

As a model I used the RandomForestClassifier, which is a decision tree algorithm. As features I used the following data:

1. In which class a passenger was
2. Male/female
3. Whether and how many siblings/spouses were on board
4. Whether and how many parents/children were on board

My goal was more to understand Machine Learning and scikit-learn than to actually compete.
