The Algorithm K-means (MacQueen, 1967) is one of the simplest unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the well-known clustering problem. It is a method of vector quantization, originally from signal processing, that is […]
Hey, we no longer need statistics! Cancel all college and university statistics programs…fire all the statistics faculty…shut down SAS…stop wasting time on R and Python…the end has come…there is a new beginning…ALL […]
Many are writing articles about the skills required to be a data scientist. I disagree with 97.3% of them. Before you can be a data scientist, you must qualify to be a […]
The intent of this article is not to tell you everything you wanted to know about artificial neural networks (ANN) and were afraid to ask. For that you’ll have to ask someone […]
