Decision Trees From Scratch With Python
We already know a single decision tree can work surprisingly well. The idea of constructing a forest from individual trees seems like the natural next step. Today you’ll learn how the Random Forest classifier works and implement it from scratch in Python. This is the sixth of many... Read more
Area Under the Curve and Beyond with Integrated Discrimination Improvement and Net Reclassification
TLDR AUC is a good starting metric when comparing the performance of two models but it does not always tell the whole story NRI looks at the new models ability to correctly reclassify cancers and benigns and should be used alongside AUC IDI quantifies improvement of the slopes of... Read more
7 Pitfalls to Avoid While Using Model-Agnostic Interpretation Techniques
Interpretable machine learning techniques are becoming more popular among the data science community as more and more complex machine learning algorithms are adopted which are not easily interpretable. Model-Agnostic Interpretation techniques do not care about the underlying models, but they have the capability to interpret the... Read more
