In The Analytics Trap I scribbled some notes on how I like using data not as a source of "truth", but as a lens, or a perspective, from a particular viewpoint.
One idea I’ve increasingly noticed being talked about explcitly across vari...
vivo — variable importance via PDP oscillationsOne of the many questions that are asked when analyzing a model is what variables are most important and how they impact the prediction.We can consider several methods that depend on the type of model. The...
Before moving on to the final part of this series on solar irradiance and solar PV power across Alberta, I wanted to do a little segway and talk about how albedo is a particularly relevant issue for the workings of PV panels in Alberta and similar places. This is also ...
