Understanding and Implementing Brant’s Tests in Ordinal Logistic Regression with Python. This article details the proportional odds model for ordinal logistic regression, its assumptions, and methods to assess the proportional odds assumption using likelihood ratio tests and separate fits approaches, with Python implementation examples.
The article showcases concise Python code snippets (one-liners) for common machine learning tasks like data splitting, standardization, model training (linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest), and prediction, leveraging libraries such as scikit-learn.

This article explores the application of Laplace approximated Bayesian optimization for hyperparameter tuning, focusing on regularization techniques in machine learning models. The author discusses the challenges of hyperparameter optimization, particularly in high-dimensional spaces, and presents a case study using logistic regression with L2 regularization. The article compares grid search and Bayesian optimization methods, highlighting the advantages of the latter in efficiently finding optimal regularization coefficients. It also explores the potential for individualized regularization parameters for different variables.
