Hey! Free money!

This just came in:

My name is ** and I am a freelance writer hoping to contribute my writing to andrewgelman.com. I would be willing to compensate you for publishing.

For my posts, I require one related client link within the body of my article, as well as no “guest” or “Sponsored” tag on the post. I am willing to offer $50 per post published on the site as compensation for these things. Please let me know if you are interested and/or if you have any questions.

OK, here’s the cool part: For all you know, I’ve taken this guy (or bot) up on his offer. So from now on, when reading this blog, you’ll have to guess which of the posts you’re seeing are sponsored content. Given the conditions above, unfortunately I’m not allowed to label these particular posts.

It’s possible, right? Just about all my posts have links, and, hmmmm . . . $50 per post x 400 posts a year = $20,000. That’s real money! Also think of all the time this frees up for me, if someone else is writing all my posts for me. It’s really a win-win situation, and Google can translate all the Russian to English, no problem.

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 ...
