CSC 223 -
Python for Scientific Programming & Data Manipulation,
Fall 2023, TuTh 4:30-5:45 PM, Old Main 159.
Assignment 4 Specification, code is due by end
of Saturday December 9 via make turnitin
on acad or mcgonagall.
It must be in before I go over the solution Tuesday, Dec. 12,
2023 2-4 p.m. during our exam period, else 0%.
The 10% per-day late penalty up to that point applies.
DUE
DATE MOVED TO
END OF MONDAY
DEC 11 due to
a
glitch in
access to
student file
system.
Even if
you cannot see your
files on acad, a student
has informed me that
ssh'ing into mcgonagall
works OK.
Added 12/6/2023: I will not accept late
assignments after 9 AM on Tuesday December 12.
I will go over
my solution in our final exam slot 12/12 for
students doing Assignment 5.
From the first
day handout: "Late penalty is 10% per each day late,
up until I go over the solution.
Any assignment turned in after
that is worth 0%." I will send Assn4 solution out
around 9 AM.
Perform the following steps on acad or mcgonagall after
logging into your account via putty or ssh:
cd
# places you into your login directory
mkdir Scripting
# all of your csc223 projects
go into this directory
cd ./Scripting
# makes Scripting
your current working directory, it probably already exists
cp
~parson/Scripting/CSC223f23DataflowAssn4.problem.zip
CSC223f23DataflowAssn4.problem.zip
unzip CSC223f23DataflowAssn4.problem.zip
# unzips your working copy of the project directory
cd ./CSC223f23DataflowAssn4
#
your project working directory
Perform all test execution on mcgonagall to avoid any
platform-dependent output differences.
All input and output data files in Assignment 4 are small and
reside in your project directory.
Here are the files of interest in this project directory.
There are a few you can ignore.
CSC223f23DataflowAssn4.py # your work goes here,
generating & aggregating statistical distributions
in a PULL dataflow
makefile
# the Linux make utility uses this script to direct testing
& data viz graphing actions
makelib
# my library for
the makefile
CSC223f23DataflowAssn4.ref
# the expected output for diffing against output
CSC223f23DataflowAssn4.csv
DataflowGeneratorsOnePath.py
# Earlier example code for a PULL dataflow
pipeline, not part of the assignment.
Here are the graded STUDENT requirements
from CSC223f23DataflowAssn4.py:
# STUDENT 1: 20% Write makeNormal(Loc, scale,
size, seed)
# STUDENT 2: 20% Write makeExponential(scale,
size, seed)
# STUDENT 3: 20% Write generator
generateDistribution() with these parameters
# STUDENT 4: 20% Write generator
generateStatisticalAnalysis that iterates
# STUDENT 5: 20% Write saveStatisticalAnalysisCSV
that tests
We will go over this in the November 21 class. We
will not have class November 28, and November 30
will be a work session.
In our final exam period,Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 2-4 p.m., I
will go over my solution. It must be in
before then.
Late
assignments cost 10% per day as usual. Use make
turnitin to turn it in as before.
Here is the topology of Assignment 4's
dataflow:
