Agreed, but it's really a short-term win. Long term, python will need to (and I think it will) get better statistical libraries, that make R so great. Statsmodels is a step in the right direction.
I'm well aware. It comes down to the right combination of an algorithm and heuristics. And it's the heuristics part that is rarely transferable from problem to problem, the part you laid out in bullet points for your…
I purchased this early release, and like it so far. Sadly, I keep finding myself going back to R for small data analysis instead of Pandas. Pandas may make the data transformation on par with, and computationally…
I wish they would try politics next.
I worked on a similar project while an undergrad at KU. (http://www.oread.ku.edu/2008/october/20/fraank.shtml) I like the idea, a lot. This seems to be well executed, but I wonder how much of a future this thing has…
I'd like to see the war on drugs added.
I would like to echo dougk7's comments regarding statistics for ML. The fundamentals of ML would be of great interest - moreso with ML becoming more en vouge. Cheers!
really want to do this, I'm gonna get in the IRC chat
The majority of my math education came from my sister who was a few years ahead of me in school. She'd learn w/e they were teaching, then would teach it to me at night. I'm forever in debt for this early education as…
Don't feel too bad, this probably considers all accountants... had they stayed in school an extra year for the CPA, they probably make twice that.
If I'm not wrong he had to get out of his Goldman preferred shares earlier than he wanted... wonder if his comments are a backhanded dig at Goldman.
If you could find some way to model the price vs demand you could then figure out how elastic the price is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand) then that would tell you which price is better.
