## Leaderboards

The [LISS panel](https://www.centerdata.nl/en/liss-panel) challenge data is separated into an example dataset for tuning your method and a holdout dataset that will be used to validate your method performance. After [submission](https://github.com/eyra/fertility-prediction-challenge/tree/master#how-to-submit-your-method) your method will be run on the holdout data. Your performance scores on the holdout data will be added to the leaderboards, so your scores can be compared to the performance scores of other methods.

### Research problem
73-
Accurate predictions of the number and timing of children are crucial for effective resource allocation in society. However, despite many studies in the social sciences, we have no clear understanding of which factors are most important for fertility prediction or how well we are able to predict fertility behaviour.

75-
### Purpose statement
76-
To gain insight into how well methods are able to predict fertility within a three year period (2021-2023), based on survey data from previous years (2007-2020) of people in the [LISS panel](https://www.centerdata.nl/en/liss-panel) who were aged 18-45 in 2020. The LISS panel is a representative online longitudinal panel of Dutch households.
