Why Coaching Usually I post a tutorial about a data science topic, sometimes I write a post about something a little bit more meta about data science like how to get started as a new comer, on occasion I’ll recommend […]
Logistic Regression in R
Logistic regression was like magic the first time that I saw it. I grasped the utility almost immediately, but then I was shown how to hang economic theory on top of logistic regression and my face melted! Then I learned […]
Bayesian Auto-Regressive Time Series Analysis in PYMC3
I have written a lot of blog posts on using PYMC3 to do bayesian analysis. And I have a few where I have even dealt with Time-Series datasets. To name a one, I have done one on time varying coefficients. […]
3 Books that I Recommend to Learn Machine Learning
Today, I’m going to take a simple approach to the blog post. I’m working on some other things so, I need to scale this one back. So I’m going to give you 3 books that I recommend to learn general […]
Bayesian Time Varying Coefficients in PYMC3
Okay so today I want to talk about something really cool that you can do with time-series / panel data. That is, you can allow the coefficients in the model change over time. It is a really neat idea, but […]
