shootout!

The Software Shootout has been a staple of the IDRC. This page provides access to historical sets of shootout data, as well as the data set and background information for the 2010 shootout data set.

The dataset for the IDRC ShootOut 2010 was graciously provided by Karl Norris. It is a biomedical application where blood samples were analyzed during the time period from 1990 to 1992.

The shootout was a great success! The shootout contributions are being prepared for publication in a future edition of NIR News. Congratulations to the winners:

1st Place - Pierre Dardenne
2nd Place - Mark Westerhaus
3rd Place - David Honigs
