“We demonstrate HMC’s sensitivity to these parameters by sampling from a bivariate Gaussian with correlation coefficient 0.99. We consider three settings (ε,L) = {(0.16; 40); (0.16; 50); (0.15; 50)}” Ziyu Wang, Shakir Mohamed, and Nando De Freitas. 2013 In an experiment with my PhD student Changye Wu (who wrote all R codes used below), we […]

In a previous post, we showed how RoboBrowser can be used to fill out online forms for getting historical weather data from Wunderground. This article will talk about how to use RoboBrowser to batch download collections of image files from Pexels, a site which offers free downloads. If you’re ...

These include both global methods, which involve fitting a regression over the whole time series; and more flexible local methods, where we relax the constraint...

Hope you liked the Part 1 and Part 2 of this Series. In this Part 3, we will go through the tools used during the analyze phase of Six Sigma DMAIC cycle. In this phase, available data is used to identify the key process inputs and their relation to the output. We will ...
