For complete details, see GitHub repository: https://github.com/rsvp/fecon235⁠ which can also be found within the Docker container in the /opt/rsvp/fecon235 directory. Git itself is included, so pulling the latest commits is possible.

⁠To RUN the pulled image:

$ docker run -p 8888:8888 -it rsvp/fecon235

which should yield a prompt, then execute:

nbstart

and interact with your host browser at http://localhost:8888⁠ which should begin by listing available Jupyter notebooks. By terminating nbstart, you will be returned to the container's Bash shell prompt, whereupon the IPython console can be called with modules for machine learning and econometrics.

⁠Base image is derived from continuumio/anaconda

While our image tagged "latest" uses the most current development environment, the image rsvp/fecon235:v4.16.1030 uses rsvp/ana2-pd0181 for its base image, see https://hub.docker.com/r/rsvp/ana2-pd0181⁠ for details. Note that the code is cross-platform, also python2 and python3 compatible.
