I entered a Kaggle competition in 2018 to predict the survivors of the Titanic. I learned from the competition several beneficial facts for my data science skillset. First, by adding new data columns with certain predictions, we can improve the prediction significantly. Second, the neural networks outperform statistical methods even for a rather small data set of about less than 1000 rows. Finally, statistical methods are much easier to applied and are very time efficient.
