This article details a hands-on approach to modeling rare events in time series data using Python. It covers data exploration, defining extreme events, fitting distributions (GEV, Weibull, Gumbel), and evaluating model performance using metrics like log-likelihood, AIC, and BIC. The example uses weather data and provides code snippets for implementation.
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.
This discussion explores the effectiveness of simulated annealing compared to random search for optimizing a set of 16 integer parameters. The author seeks to determine if simulated annealing provides a significant advantage over random search, despite the parameter space being too large for exhaustive search. Responses suggest plotting performance over time and highlight the ability of simulated annealing to escape local optima as its main strength.
This guide walks through applications, libraries, and dependencies of causal discovery approaches using Bayesian modeling, with a step-by-step guide on creating causal networks using discrete or continuous datasets, explaining techniques and search methods like PC and Hill Climb Search, ensuring readers understand Bayesian techniques for causal discovery in specific use cases."
An article explaining the concepts of unconditional independence, unconditional dependence, conditional independence, and conditional dependence in causal inference through simple examples.
