I don't really understand how this works, but could it happen that another way of verifying is by multiple people submitting the same information? For example, the buyer and the seller of a part recording the transaction.

In theory, yes. If you had a good estimate of marginal economic costs then it would be easier to conclude if there is collusion. In practice, it is very difficult to estimate economic costs. This, for example, would include estimating t

The problem is that theoretically that could both indicate collusion or market efficiency.

This example gives you the main structure: https://altair-viz.github.io/gallery/ranged_dot_plot.html . Let me know if you need the specific code for that visualization, happy to share it.

Just in case, you can plot datasets larger than 5000. A quick fix is using "alt.data_transformers.enable('json')"

I think that for Neural Networks scikit has not been the "go to" library, in particular AutoML advertises that they automate neural architecture search which I don't think scikit allows a lot of flexibility for that.

RMarkdown supports Python. I haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it but I have heard good things about it.

It is hard to tell if _used_ car A is better than _used_ car B. For example: did the owner change the oil regularly? Other examples: - How do you know if that used sofa online has bed bugs? - This is also why people that was fired (even for
