Perform time series forecasting using Amazon Redshift ML and Amazon Forecast

AWS Big Data

Forecasting acts as a planning tool to help enterprises prepare for the uncertainty that can occur in the future. The OBJECTIVE parameter specifies a metric to minimize or maximize the objective of a job. To use Forecast, you need to have the AmazonForecastFullAccess policy. All other RTS feature data must be INT or FLOAT data types.

Here, $X$ is a vector of tuning parameters that control the system's operating characteristics (e.g.

Estimating the prevalence of rare events — theory and practice

Of course, any mistakes by the reviewers would propagate to the accuracy of the metrics, and the metrics calculation should take into account human errors. If we could separate bad videos from good videos perfectly, we could simply calculate the metrics directly without sampling. The missing verdicts create two problems.

Themes and Conferences per Pacoid, Episode 10

Domino Data Lab

I recall a “Data Drinkup Group” gathering at a pub in Palo Alto, circa 2012, where I overheard Pete Skomoroch talking with other data scientists about Kahneman’s work. Clearly, when we work with data and machine learning, we’re swimming in those waters of decision-making under uncertainty. Worse than flipping a coin!

Data Science, Past & Future

Domino Data Lab

I went to a meeting at Starbucks with the founder of Alation right before they launched in 2012, drawing on the proverbial back-of-the-napkin. They learned about a lot of process that requires that you get rid of uncertainty. They’re being told they have to embrace uncertainty. You started to see point solutions.

Estimating causal effects using geo experiments

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

This means it is possible to specify exactly in which geos an ad campaign will be served – and to observe the ad spend and the response metric at the geo level. In other words, iROAS is the slope of a curve of the response metric plotted against the underlying advertising spend. They are non-overlapping geo-targetable regions.
