Exponential distribution

This song helps us better remember the properties of the exponential distribution. The exponential distribution models time between events in a Poisson process, where occurrences are independent at a constant rate. Key features include its probability density and cumulative distribution functions, mean, variance, and memoryless property. It has applications in queueing theory, reliability engineering, and survival analysis.

K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN): an introduction

K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is a popular algorithm used for both classification and regression tasks. In KNN, the output is a class membership, which is assigned based on the majority of the k nearest data points.… 

Linear Discriminant Analysis Implementation in Python & R

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a classifier that creates a linear decision boundary by fitting class-conditional densities to the data and applying Bayes’ rule. The model assumes that each class follows a Gaussian distribution with… 

Stepwise Feature Selection +example

Stepwise feature selection is a systematic approach to identifying the most relevant features for a predictive model by combining both forward and backward selection techniques. The process begins with either an empty model. Then, we… 

Backward feature selection + example

Backward feature selection involves iteratively removing the least significant feature from a model based on adjusted R-squared. In this example, we are predicting nuts collected by squirrels, features like temperature and rainfall are chosen as significant predictors through this method. The process aims to finalize a model with the most influential features.

Forward feature selection: a step by step example

Forward feature selection starts with an empty model and adds features one by one. At each step, the feature that improves the model performance the most is added to the model. The process continues until… 

ElasticNet Regression: Method & Codes

ElasticNet regression is a regularized regression method that linearly combines both L1 and L2 penalties of the Lasso and Ridge methods. This allows it to perform both feature selection (like Lasso) and maintain some of… 

Ridge regression: method & R codes

Motivation Now, recall that for LASSO Ridge Regression: Ridge regression: Ridge adds the penalty, which is the sum of the squares of the coefficients, to the loss function in linear regression. Ridge regression shrinks the… 

Lasso Regression and LassoCV: methods & Python codes

The Lasso (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) is a regression technique that enhances prediction accuracy and interpretability by applying L1 regularization to shrink coefficients. Unlike traditional regression methods, Lasso forces some coefficients to become…

The success rates of Cupid’s arrows

I advised a master’s student to use the binomial probability formula to determine the likelihood of attracting the affection of 15 girls, with Cupid’s success rate at 0.7. The analysis shows that the highest probability of success occurs when 10 girls reciprocate love, with a probability of 0.33.
