Fundamentals of Data Mining

Data Science 101

This data alone does not make any sense unless it’s identified to be related in some pattern. Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). The choice of these metrics depends on the nature of the problem.

Performing Non-Compartmental Analysis with Julia and Pumas AI

Domino Data Lab

Approximating the region under the graph of as a series of trapezoids and calculating the sum of their area (in the case of non-uniformly distributed data points) is given by. Having calculated AUC/AUMC, we can further derive a number of useful metrics like: Total clearance of the drug from plasma. Mean residence time. and many others.

Explaining black-box models using attribute importance, PDPs, and LIME

Domino Data Lab

Because of its architecture, intrinsically explainable ANNs can be optimised not just on its prediction performance, but also on its explainability metric. Instead, you should focus on how techniques like PDPs and LIME can be used to gain insights into the model’s inner workings and how you can add those to your data science toolbox.

Variance and significance in large-scale online services

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by AMIR NAJMI Running live experiments on large-scale online services (LSOS) is an important aspect of data science. In this post we explore how and why we can be “ data-rich but information-poor ”. There are many reasons for the recent explosion of data and the resulting rise of data science.

LSOS experiments: how I learned to stop worrying and love the variability

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Variance reduction through conditioning Suppose, as an LSOS experimenter, you find that your key metric varies a lot by country and time of day. And since the metric average is different in each hour of day, this is a source of variation in measuring the experimental effect. Obviously, this doesn’t have to be true.
