The Beginner Programmer

Recently I wrote a post for DataScience+ (which by the way is a great website for learning about R) explaining how to fit a neural network...

Now that we fitted the classifier and run some preliminary tests, in order to get a grasp at how our model is doing when predicting creditab...

As I said in the previous post, this summer I’ve been learning some of the most popular machine learning algorithms and trying to apply what...

Since the beginning of this summer I have been practicing a lot with Scikit-learn to improve my knowledge of Machine Learning both on theory...

As a sideproject I decided to design a simple experiment and use Arduino to measure the friction coefficient of an object sliding on a given...

Please make sure to read the disclaimer at the bottom of the page before continuing reading. Plain vanilla call and put european options ar...

At the beginning of this summer, I was asked to provide a simple (and possibly cost-effective) solution to a simple problem: how can I do in...

A hidden Markov model is a statistical model which builds upon the concept of a Markov chain. The idea behind the model is simple: imagine ...

Linear regression models are one the simplest and yet a very powerful models you can use in R to fit observed data and try to predict quanti...

Since the first time I was taught the Poisson and Exponential distributions I have been wondering how to apply them to model a real world sc...

Last semester I attended a course in complex analysis and I was introduced to the basics tool used in this field. I was fascinated by almost...

While writing the scripts for the past articles I thought it might be fun to implement the 2D version of the heat and wave equations and th...

Imagine you have an ideal string of length L and would like to find an equation that describes the oscillation of the string. Assuming the s...

RC and RL are one of the most basics examples of electric circuits and yet they are very rich in content. Let’s examine each one carefully ...

Apparently, it looks like I’m all focused on PDEs at this time of the year. There’s a good reason though! I find PDEs extremely fascinating ...
