Logistic Regression is the most important foundational algorithm in Classification Modeling.

In 2 minutes, I'll crush your confusion.

Let's dive in: Image 1. Logistic regression is a statistical method used for analyzing a dataset in which there are one or more independent variables that determine a binary outcome (in which there are only two possible outcomes). This is commonly called a binary classification problem.

A Python Library for Time Series using Hidden Markov Models.

Let me introduce you to hmmlearn. Image 1. Hidden Markov Models

A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a statistical model that describes a sequence of observable events where the underlying process generating those events is not directly visible, meaning there are "hidden states" that influence the observed data, but you can only see the results of those states, not the states themselvesImage

The concept that helped me go from bad models to good models: Bias and Variance.

In 4 minutes, I'll share 4 years of experience in managing bias and variance in my machine learning models. Let's go. 🧵 Image 1. Generalization:

Bias and variance control your models ability to generalize on new, unseen data, not just the data it was trained on. The goal in machine learning is to build models that generalize well. To do so, I manage bias and variance. Image

Bayes' Theorem is a fundamental concept in data science.

But it took me 2 years to understand its importance.

In 2 minutes, I'll share my best findings over the last 2 years exploring Bayesian Statistics. Let's go. Image 1. Background:

"An Essay towards solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances," was published in 1763, two years after Bayes' death. In this essay, Bayes addressed the problem of inverse probability, which is the basis of what is now known as Bayesian probability.

Type 1 and Type 2 errors are confusing. In 3 minutes, I'll demolish your confusion. Let's dive in. 🧵 Image 1. Type 1 Error (False Positive):

This occurs when the pregnancy test tells Tom, the man, that he is pregnant. Obviously, Tom cannot be pregnant, so this result is a false alarm. In statistical terms, it's detecting an effect (in this case, pregnancy) when it actually doesn't exist.
