Game of Thrones characters are always in danger of being eliminated. The challenge in this assignment is to see at what risk are the characters that are still alive of being eliminated. The goal of this project is to rank characters by their Percentage Likelihood of Death (PLOD). You will assign a PLOD using machine learning approaches.

Inconsistencies between the book and the TV show #71

@gyachdav @goldbergtatyana @sacdallago As we already mentioned here https://github.com/Rostlab/JS16_ProjectB_Group6/issues/60#issuecomment-206839112 there are some inconsistencies between the book and the tv show. project a uses data from the awoiaf wiki which uses the book data in the info box (our main source of information). meanwhile, we're doing a prediction for the tv show and some characters that are dead in the tv show are still alive in the books and vice versa. a notable example that also shows up in the top 10 popular plod predictions is Stannis Baratheon who was killed by Brienne in the TV show but is still very much alive in the books. Also, the books contain much more characters which, as a sum, probably influenced our plod predictions as well. Should we just leave it like that then?

Thanks @ThuyNganTran for the concerns raised! Yeah we are aware of these inconsistencies and put several (hopefully noticeable) notes on got.show saying that our predictions are based on books only.

Btw, speaking of which, I was wondering how you guys assigned dead labels to those characters for whom there is no death date in the awoiaf wiki? Altogether, I count 51 character with these features. To list some names as examples, these would be Jon Waters, Aegon I Targaryen and Rhae Targaryen.
