Data ScienceAnscombe's Quartet
We often look for summary statistics during EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis). But, sometimes these statistics may give us wrong interpretation of the data. In 1973, a statistician Francis...

The Curse of Dimensionality
While applying k nearest neighbors approach in solving a problem, we can sometimes notice that there is a deterioration in the kNN performance when the number of predictors,...

Data Science
Dealing with categorical data
Often in our machine learning model, we encounter qualitative predictors.

Data Science
Regularization
Our machine learning model often encouters the problem of overfitting. Regularization is one of the techniques to solve this problem.

MathematicsSome Prime Thoughts
The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that every positive integer can be factored into primes in a unique way.

Data ScienceEvaluation metrics for classification and False positives
A false positive error or false positive (false alarm) is a result that indicates a given condition exists when it doesn’t.

Data ScienceSimplicity doesn't imply accuracy
Often, people say things like beauty lies in simplicity, simplicity is the glory of expression, complexity is the enemy of execution. But to what extent, these statements are...

Data Sciencep-Value
In data science, p-value is used to determine statistical significance of the result. It gives the probability of a statistical model that, when the null hypothesis is true,...

AlgorithmsDivide and Conquer
Say you want to go to Harvard for your graduate studies in a year. But, the academic fee of $40,000 is intimidating. And, with every passing week, it’s...
