0.83 (or more precisely 5/6) is a special Area Under the Curve (AUC), which we will show in this note.
I would like to re-share links to our free vtreat data preparation system introduction videos, which show you what sort of machine learning problems vtreat can help you with. Python vtreat introduction video (PyData LA 2019), slides here. R vtreat introduction video (Why R? Foundation). The idea is: instead of […]
Win Vector LLC’s Dr. Nina Zumel has had great success applying y-aware methods to machine learning problems, and working out the detailed cross-validation methods needed to make y-aware procedures safe. I thought I would try our hand at y-aware neural net or deep learning methods here.
