Install Python and clone/download this repository.\n2. Create a `units.yml` file by copying the [example](degree-calculator/units.example.yml)\n3. Enter information about your degree units/modules (ideally including all future ones for accurate results)\n4. Optionally, add information about your degree classification thresholds for extra statistics.\n\n### Outputs\n\n1. **Weighted averages**  \n    \n    Calculates each unit's predicted grade using appropriately weighted existing assessment marks. Then, computes the weighted average across all units to provide a predicted final grade and classification.\n\n2. **Minimum/actual grade calculation**\n\n    Calculates the weighted final grade using only existing grades, assuming missing grades are zero.\n\n3. **Maximum grade calculation**\n\n    Calculates the weighted final grade and classification using existing grades, while assuming missing grades are perfect scores (100%).\n\n4. **Probabilistic Prediction**\n\n    Calculates variance and weighted means based on existing grades, then uses the Monte Carlo method to simulate unknown units. Provides the following statistics:\n\n    - **Median**: Another estimate for final grade and classification.\n    - **5th \u0026 95th percentiles**: Upper and lower bounds to guage distribution of results.\n    - **Simulated probabilities of classifications**: Estimated probabilities of achieving the provided classifications.\n    - **Histogram**: A histogram illustrating the distribution of simulated units.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsamcole8%2Fdegree-calculator","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsamcole8%2Fdegree-calculator","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsamcole8%2Fdegree-calculator/lists"}
