Reduce coding burden for Part 01

Clustering Tutorial Issues

1

The K-Means implementation is a hack -- it's just EM with small, isotropic covariance matrices. Need to do an honest-to-goodness K-Means implementation.

Use scikit-learn for the modeling section?

scikit-learn is easy to use and, as of 0.18, well-integrated with pandas. The interactive sections aren't necessarily worth changing, but the sections on fitting and cross-validating probably are.

So that folks using the online version of the course will have access to some of the readings from the in-person version. Some of these resources might be behind paywalls...

And try to connect better with the ANOVA material.

Back when I first wrote the animations for this class, there was, AFAIK, no platform-independent way to generate replayable, interactive animations with mpl -- *nix systems could use temporary files...

Add discussion on statistical versus practical significance to hypothesis testing and/or tests for 2-sample data

This was a key point in discussions last year and should be included in the material -- ideally both tutorial and lab material.
