Getting started with Credit Card Detection using xgBoost

One fine day i came across this article. Curiously wanted to see if this works, i found a way to quickly setup your machine to run it using docker. Yeap you can setup and run it in 30 minutes time.

All you have to do is install docker and run the following command

docker pull continuumio/anaconda
docker run -i -t continuumio/anaconda /bin/bash

This install anaconda with python 2.7. Don't worry about this version. Its all good plus xgboost works only on this version.

Additional library you might need to install are

conda install -c bioconda xgboost=0.6a2

conda install pyqt=4

After that, just run python and you can run all the command given in the article.
