Rafael Nadal into US Open third round but Roger Federer clash not nailed on

  • Spanish veteran beats Japanese Taro Daniel 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2
  • Nadal could meet Federer in semis but both have shown chinks in armour

As the clock edged towards midnight on day four – literally if not yet metaphorically – the veteran champion, Rafael Nadal, turned struggle into an ultimately satisfactory fightback against an opponent seven years younger and 120 places below him in the world rankings, the admirable Taro Daniel. Yet there was cause for at least minor concern.

Nadal’s four-set win to reach the third round of the US Open, a few hours after Roger Federer’s much patchier effort in five sets against Mikhail Youznhy, left the impression that two of the greatest rivals in the history of the game might never get to play each other at Flushing Meadows.

Solving Van der Pol equation with ivp_solve

Van der Pol’s differential equation is The equation describes a system with nonlinear damping, the degree of damping given by μ. If μ = 0 the system is linear and undamped, but for positive μ the system is nonlinear and damped. We will plot the phase portrait for the solution to Van der Pol’s equation in Python using SciPy’s new ODE solver ivp_solve . The function ivp_solve does not solve second-order systems of equations directly. It solves systems of first-order equations, but a second-order differential equation can be recast as a pair of first-order equations by introducing the first derivative as a new variable. Since y is the derivative of x , the phase portrait is just the plot of ( x , y ). If μ = 0, we have a simple harmonic oscillator and the phase portrait is simply a circle. For larger values of μ the solutions enter limiting cycles, but the cycles are more complicated than just circles. Here’s the Python code that made the plot. from scipy import linspace from ...

Explaining models with Triplot, part 1

Explaining models with triplot, part 1 tl;dr Explaining black box models built on correlated features may prove difficult and provide misleading results. R package triplot , part of the DrWhy.AI project, is aiming at facilitating the process of explaining the importance of the whole group of variables, thus solving the problem of correlated features. Calculating the importance of explanatory variables is one of the main tasks of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). There are a lot of tools at our disposal that helps us with that, like Feature Importance or Shapley values, to name a few. All these methods calculate individual feature importance for each variable separately. The problem arises when features used ...
