Network Analysis: Who is the Most Important Influencer?

July 28, 2020 | Learning Machines

Networks are everywhere: traffic infrastructure and the internet come to mind, but networks are also in nature: food chains, protein-interaction networks, genetic interaction networks and of course neural networks which are being modelled by Artificial Neural Networks. In this post, we will create a small network (also called graph mathematically) ... [Read more...]

Maximum Likelihood Estimation

July 27, 2020 | R | All Your Bayes

TLDR Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is one method of inferring model parameters. This post aims to give an intuitive explanation of MLE, discussing why it is so useful (simplicity and availability in software) as well as where it is limited (point estimates are not as informative as Bayesian estimates, which ...
