Or How I Discovered I Could Save Seconds¶
A frustrating feature of the jupyter notebooks has been that every time they're opened the magic functions have to be called. Having only simple needs, if only two of them could open up when I initiated a python notebook, that would be great. Fortunately within jupyter it's really easy to save those few seconds a day. Through throwing in a simple .ipy

From these many sensors the question is whether or not a model could be built to predict the true levels of carbon monoxide present through the use of sensors that are attuned to other compounds. This would allow for the more robust installation of these sensor arrays that would still be versatile enough to detect the concentration of a specific compound. Additionally if it is found to have a relationship it could be used to determine if the values of a sensor are within an acceptable range.
