Python or R—Or Both?

PythonRTools & LanguagesPythonRposted by Steve Miller June 13, 2019

I was analytically betwixt and between a few weeks ago. Most of my Jupyter Notebook work is done in either Python or R. Indeed, I like to self-demonstrate the power of each platform by recoding R work in Python and vice-versa. I must have a dozen active notebooks, some... Read more
Strategies for Addressing Class Imbalance

Strategies for Addressing Class Imbalance

Machine LearningModelingPythonMachine Learningposted by Nathaniel Jermain June 6, 2019

Class imbalance is common in real-world datasets. For example, a dataset with examples of credit card fraud will often have exponentially more records of non-fraudulent activity than those of fraudulent cases. In many applications, training your model on imbalanced classes can inhibit model functionality if predictive accuracy for minority... Read more

Validating Type I and II Errors in A/B Tests in R

ModelingRTools & LanguagesRTools and Languagesposted by Roland Stevenson April 25, 2019

In the below work, we will intentionally leave out statistics theory and attempt to develop an intuitive sense of what type I(false-positive) and type II(false-negative) errors represent when comparing metrics in A/B tests. One of the problems plaguing the analysis of A/B tests today is known as the “peeking... Read more

Logistic Regression with Python

ModelingPythonLogistic RegressionPythonposted by Ralabs April 11, 2019

Logistic regression was once the most popular machine learning algorithm, but the advent of more accurate algorithms for classification such as support vector machines, random forest, and neural networks has induced some machine learning engineers to view logistic regression as obsolete. Though it may have been overshadowed by more... Read more
