I submitted a model and was ranked very low; I see a lot of other people that have tied at that rank so I’m wondering if there’s a fundamental problem with the submitted predictions CSV. Can someone in a higher rank share one of their older predictions CSV files? Or is there an example I can look at on the Numerai site? ---

you can download the example predictions and compare. the corresponding model is numer.ai/integration\_test ---

Can you clarify what you are talking about? Your leaderboard rank is cumulative over 20 rounds, so when someone submits for the first time they will always have a horrible rank because it takes time to build it up. (Even if you are doing awesome on the round you submitted.) ---

I was wondering if my predictions CSV had errors in it that would cause low rankings but what you said makes sense, it’ll build up rank over time. Though I did discover issues when comparing my predictions CSV to the example predictions; my submission has far less precision (0.25 instead of 0.2499 for example). ---

Yeah, you should avoid ties in your predictions as much as possible, i.e. try to have all unique values. (Even though there are only 5 target values because of the way we are scored it is best not to have ties.) So more precision is good – go for that. ---

Awesome, looks like I had an issue within my machine learning code and was copying over the wrong column. Looks like this now 😃 ```auto id,prediction_kazutsugi n0003aa52cab36c2,0.46591565012931824 n000920ed083903f,0.4782555401325226 n0038e640522c4a6,0.5369644165039062 n004ac94a87dc54b,0.48990345001220703 ``` Just submitted to make sure it validates and it looks good. Thanks for the help!
