Seniority range #3

Open mariana-s-fernandes opened 3 years ago

mariana-s-fernandes commented 3 years ago

In the work experience option, it is not clear which range to choose if you are in the limit. For example, if I have 3 years experience should I choose Between 1 - 3 years or Between 3 - 6 years?

The limit ranges should be explicit on what they include or exclude. Or maybe the option would allow you to fill any number, and the classification on the range of values would be done in the background. So if I give the input n, it would choose the best range of values x to y to include me into, according to the data that it has available. In this way, if someone inputs a seniority value for which there was no similar previous data, it could classify within a broader range.

That's an excelent point @mariana-s-fernandes, thanks for the feedback. I think adding a more thorough description is the best solution for now. I do need to check on the data collection if the exclusion/inclusion is explicit.

I don't think asking for the actual number and then doing on the backemd works for now because the discretization would mean that different inputs would give the same output. And that might seem non intuitive to the user. But there may be modelling approaches to go around that. I'll give it some thought.
