Typo in quickstarter mmd calculation

In quickstarter (Google Colab)

when computing MMD metric. There is line of code (below compute_metric_mmd function)

    scores_pearson.append(9)

Should that be scores_mmd.append(9) since the code is evaluating mmd metric at that point?

(scores_pearson.append(9))

Hi James,

Good catch! It is indeed a typo.

If your model properly predicts all expected genes, the mean computed afterwards should not be “wrong”. This line was supposed to “penalize” missing values.

The competition on the platform remains unaffected because predictions with missing entries are rejected immediately.

I’ll fix it right now!
