the FDA defines data integrity as referring to “the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of data. Complete, consistent, and accurate data should be attributable, legible, contemporaneously recorded, original or a true copy, and accurate (ALCOA).” It ...
It seems that through various related questions here, there is consensus that the "95%" part of what we call a "95% confidence interval" refers to the fact that if we were to exactly replicate our sampling and CI-computation procedures many times, 95% of thusly computed CIs would contain ...
Perfect," they discovered that "interleaving sleep between learning sessions not only reduced the amount of practice needed by half but also ensured much better long-term retention. Sleeping after learning is definitely a good strategy, but sleeping between two learning sessions is a better strategy...
Here’s how the longest lifetime (or, in effect, “fitness”) increases for 100 different sequences of random mutations: And what’s perhaps most notable here is that it seems as if these adaptive processes indeed don’t “get stuck”. It may take a wh...
For instance, you try to classify whether someone is likely to leave, whether he will respond to a solicitation, whether he’s a good or bad credit risk, etc. Usually, the model results are in the form of 0 or 1, with 1 being the event you are targeting. Regression models predict a...
I liken the situation to a group of musicians trying to form a band. Each one comes in believing that their way of doing things is best (their “method” or “process”). The band will struggle so long as everyone is trying to do their own thing. It’s impossible to create good mus...
(this time from another language) as a way to improve NMT. Specifically, we train a model using our pairs of similar low-resource and higher-resource languages, and test on only the low-resource language. For those three pairs, the similarity ofGl/Ptis the highest whileBe/Ruis the lowest...
What is the ‘Streetlight effect’? The streetlight effect (also known as the drunkard’s search principle) is the observation bias where you get your information from where it is easiest to look. Why is the ‘streetlight effect’ called the ‘drunkard’s search principle?
It is the key measure of inflation used by policymakers and investors to make their decisions. Yet it is, according to some economists, an imperfect reading. At least, it may underestimate inflation as it is experienced by some consumers some of the time. Correction—April 3, 2024: This...
