PreReq quiz for Machine Learning for Healthcare (6.S897, HST.956)
This quiz will not count toward your grade, but will be used by the course staff to check prerequisites (6.036/6.862 or 6.867 or 9.520/6.860 or 6.806/6.864 or 6.438 or 6.034) and to assess students' preparation for this class.
Please submit it as soon as possible -- and no later than Tuesday 2/5/19 at 11:59pm EST. We expect the quiz to take no more than 15-20 minutes.

Please self-report which tasks you would be comfortable doing in Python for a given .csv of movies, cast list, genre, and box office gross numbers:
*
Open the .csv file and read its content into a data structure.
Find average box office gross for horror movies in 2019.
Plot the cast list length versus box office gross.
Find frequent bi-grams in movie titles.
Fit a scikit-learn LinearRegression model to predict box office gross using all of the other features.
Determine the best hyperparameter C for the model using cross-validation.
Determine which feature is the strongest individual predictor of box office gross.
