It’s basically a competition in the Netflix format, where it’s your job to attempt to predict homocides in Philadelphia. You can use any datasets you can find, and the organizer provides a form to submit predictions and gets scores. There are month winners ($20) and an end-of-the-year winner ($100); obviously, nobody’s in it for the money.

For the hell of it, I created an account, and will work on it randomly when I’m bored. Initial (empty) project page here: http://dev.thmttch.net/analyticsx
