Residual plot for model diagnostic

Assessing assumptions like linearity, constant variance, error independence, and normal residuals is essential for linear regression. Residual plots visually assess the model’s goodness of fit, identifying patterns and influential data points. This post provides the Python & R codes for the residual plot

Simple Linear Regression & Least square method

Simple linear regression is a statistical method to model the relationship between two continuous variables, aiming to predict the dependent variable based on the independent variable. The regression equation is Y = a + bX, where Y is the dependent variable, X is the independent variable, a is the intercept, and b is the slope. The method of least squares minimizes the sum of squared residuals to find the best-fitting line coefficients.

Model ensembling

Model ensembling combines multiple models to improve overall performance by leveraging diverse data patterns. Bagging trains model instances on different data bootstraps, while Boosting corrects errors sequentially. Stacking combines models using a meta-model, and Voting uses majority/average predictions. Ensembles reduce variance without significantly increasing bias, but may complicate interpretation and computational cost.

Using pipelines in Python/R to improve coding efficiency & readability

Pipelines in Python and R are powerful for structuring and processing data. In Python, Pandas and scikit-learn offer pipeline capabilities for data manipulation and machine learning workflows, while in R, the %>% operator from the magrittr package enables efficient data processing in a concise and composable manner.

How to export an R dataframe to LaTeX

The xtable package in R allows you to convert dataframes to LaTeX format. First, install and load the xtable package. Then, create or use an existing dataframe and convert it to LaTeX code using xtable. Finally, print the LaTeX code or save it to a .tex file by redirecting the output.

Backpropagation Explained: A Step-by-Step Guide

Backpropagation is crucial for training neural networks. It involves a forward pass to compute activations, loss calculation, backward pass to compute gradients, and weight updates using gradient descent. This iterative process minimizes loss and effectively trains the network.

Batch normalization & Codes in PyTorch

Batch normalization is a crucial technique for training deep neural networks, offering benefits such as stabilized learning, reduced internal covariate shift, and acting as a regularizer. Its process involves computing the mean and variance for each mini-batch and implementing normalization. In PyTorch, it can be easily implemented.

Early Stopping & Restore Best Weights & Codes in PyTorch on MNIST dataset

When using early stopping, it’s important to save and reload the model’s best weights to maximize performance. In PyTorch, this involves tracking the best validation loss, saving the best weights, and then reloading them after early stopping. Practical considerations include model checkpointing, choosing the right validation metric.

Overfitting, Underfitting, Early Stopping, Restore Best Weights & Codes in PyTorch

Early stopping is a vital technique in deep learning training to prevent overfitting by monitoring model performance on a validation dataset and stopping training when the performance degrades. It saves time and resources, and enhances model performance. Implementing it involves monitoring, defining patience, and training termination. Practical considerations include metric selection, patience tuning, checkpointing, and monitoring multiple metrics.

Bagging & Random Forest: intro & quizzes

Bagging, short for bootstrap aggregating, is a popular ensemble method in machine learning. It involves training multiple models, often decision trees, on different subsets of the training data and then combining their predictions to improve the overall performance and reduce variance. Random Forest is an example of bagging, which further improves model performance by merging outputs of multiple decision trees.
