# Santa 2020 - The Candy Cane Contest

My solution in this Kaggle competition ["Santa 2020 - The Candy Cane Contest"](https://www.kaggle.com/c/santa-2020), 9th place.

## Basic Strategy
In this competition, the reward was decided by comparing the threshold and random generated number. It was easy to calculate the probability of getting reward if we knew the thresholds. But the agents can't see the threshold during the game, we had to estimate it.

Like other teams, I also downloaded the history by Kaggle API and created a dataset for supervised learning. We can see the true value of `threshold` at each round in the response of API. So, I used it as the target variable.

In the middle of the competition, I found out that quantile regression is much better than conventional L2 regression. I think it can adjust the balance between **Explore** and **Exploit** by the percentile parameter.

## Features
