times are changing online -- I definitely recall a two volume, hard bound, >$100USD edition of "Clustering Methods" in the university book store and did not buy it. I was being mocked by my non-native English colleague with a Masters in Computer Science from great (non-English) university, about the ability to even read that work. Now, I look at the Scikit-learn docs mainly. Good work pinecone dot IO.

I think its now turned in to somewhat of a competition. If you want your algorithm/package adopted, you have to make it open source and provide good documentation like this: https://lifelines.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Survival%20Analys... https://hdbscan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_hdbscan_works.h...

Props to Lifelines. It arranged my thoughts on how to handle survival data, by requiring the data in a clear format.
