Video: Dan Smith Will Teach You Guitar & Answer Your Burning Questions

Video: Dan Smith Will Teach You Guitar & Answer Your Burning Questions A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of getting to know Dan Smith, the somewhat mysterious NYC icon who has spent the last 25 years plastering every laundromat window, pizzeria and bodega door in the city with his now iconic flyers—and also, of course, teaching people to play guitar. While Smith certainly has a sense of humor about his public persona, he is very sincere and very serious about what he does—especially about how learning to play guitar can teach you something much bigger: how to live. But that's because he's done the seemingly impossible: he turned what for most people would be a hobby into a lifelong profession [ more › ] Gothamist https://ift.tt/2YsiCMF March 28, 2019 at 10:15PM

Using RStudio and LaTeX

(This article was first published on r – Experimental Behaviour , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) This post will explain how to integrate RStudio and LaTeX, especially the inclusion of well-formatted tables and nice-looking graphs and figures produced in RStudio and imported to LaTeX. To follow along you will need RStudio, MS Excel and LaTeX. Using tikzdevice to insert R Graphs into LaTeX I am a very visual thinker. If I want to understand a concept I usually and subconsciously try to visualise it. Therefore, more my PhD I tried to transport a lot of empirical insights by means of  visualization . These range from histograms, or violin plots to show distributions, over bargraphs including error bars to compare means, to interaction- or conditional effects of regression models. For quite a while it was very tedious to include such graphs in LaTeX documents. I tried several ways, like saving them as pdf and then including them in LaTeX as pdf, or any other file ...

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 ...
