Feed: R-bloggers. Author: smarterpoland. The modelDown package turns classification or regression models into HTML static websites.With one command you can convert one or more models into a website with visual and tabular model summaries. Summaries like model performance, feature importance, single feature response profiles and basic model audits. The modelDown uses DALEX explainers. So it’s model agnostic (feel free to combine random forest with glm), easy to extend and parameterise. Here you can browse an example website automatically created for 4 classification models (random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machines, k-nearest neighbours). The R code beyond this example is here ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: David Smith. Earlier this week, Github introduced Noops, a collection of simple black-box machines with API endpoints, with the goal of challenging developers of all skill levels to solve problems with them. Five "Noops" machines have been released so far along with challenges suitable for beginner programmers, with 15 further machines (and some more complex challenges) to be released over the coming three weeks. The bots available now are: Hexbot, which generates random RBG color strings and x/y coordinates Vexbot, which generates random endpoint coordinates of (possibly-connected) line segments Directbot, which will generate sequences of ...

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R Views. We were recently presented with a problem where the decision maker wanted to understand how their data would naturally group together. The classic technique of k-means clustering was a natural choice; it’s well known, computationally efficient, and implemented in base R via the kmeans() function.Our problem has a slight wrinkle: the decision maker wished to see the data grouped with (nearly) equal sizes. Now, a ‘true’ statistician would tell the client that the right thing to do from a theoretical perspective was to use native k-means results because some centers can simply have more nearby ...

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Mark Brandau. Maybe I’ve been in the software world for too long. Or maybe I’m a product of my earlier years. You might remember the old Russian proverb, “Doveryai, no proveryai,” which President Reagan made famous in the context of nuclear disarmament. Translated: “Trust, but verify.” Either way, I’m curious about a lot of things, question everything, and work hard to seek proof. It’s this curiosity, and the need for a career change after 25 years working for software vendors, that led me to Forrester. “Who’s This Guy Covering HCM For Forrester?”  Some of the ... Read More

Author: joeleslie. Deploying a relational SQL database hasn’t, historically speaking, been a quick and easy task. However, using Red Hat OpenShift that is no longer true. In fact, it's gotten even easier in the newly released OpenShift 4, which includes its own integrated built-in application marketplace called OperatorHub.In this blog, together we'll walk through deploying the NuoDB container-native SQL database in OpenShift using the NuoDB Operator. Settle in, grab some popcorn or gummy fruit (or whatever snacks you like to watch a good movie with, because this is going to be fun). As a bonus, during the demonstration, we'll also ... Read More
