Five Takeaways From The First & Only Cuomo-Nixon Debate

Five Takeaways From The First & Only Cuomo-Nixon Debate Governor Andrew Cuomo and challenger Cynthia Nixon sparred for an hour last night at Hofstra University on Long Island, where each candidate seemed determined to pack as much vitriol as they could into their only debate ahead of the Democratic primary on Thursday, September 13th. The acrimonious encounter featured Cuomo accusing Nixon of being a political neophyte who "lives in the world of fiction," and Nixon dismissing Cuomo as "a corrupt corporate Democrat" who stood up to Trump "about as well as he stood up to Putin.” Here's what stood out most from last night's clash (full video below): [ more › ] Gothamist https://ift.tt/2PMXSuN August 30, 2018 at 05:57PM

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 ...
