When we analyze relationships between variables in machine learning, we often find that a straight line doesn’t tell the whole story. That’s where polynomial transformations come in, adding layers to our regression models without complicating the calculation process. By transforming our features into their polynomial counterparts—squares, cubes, and other higher-degree terms—we give linear models the …

Bayesian statistics constitute one of the not-so-conventional subareas within statistics, based on a particular vision of the concept of probabilities. This post introduces and unveils what bayesian statistics is and its differences from frequentist statistics, through a gentle and predominantly non-technical narrative that will awaken your curiosity about this fascinating topic. Introduction Statistics constitutes an …
Linear regression models are foundational in machine learning. Merely fitting a straight line and reading the coefficient tells a lot. But how do we extract and interpret the coefficients from these models to understand their impact on predicted outcomes? This post will demonstrate how one can interpret coefficients by exploring various scenarios. We’ll delve into …

Introduction Statistical analysis is important in data science. It helps us understand data better. NumPy is a key Python library for numerical operations. It simplifies and speeds up this process. In this article, we will explore several functions for basic statistical analysis offered by NumPy. NumPy is a Python library for numerical computing. It helps …
After the highly successful launch of Gemma 1, the Google team introduced an even more advanced model series called Gemma 2. This new family of Large Language Models (LLMs) includes models with 9 billion (9B) and 27 billion (27B) parameters. Gemma 2 offers higher performance and greater inference efficiency than its predecessor, with significant safety …
Learning by doing is the best way to master essential skills for becoming a machine learning engineer. Instead of just focusing on simple classification and regression models. In this blog, we will focus on advanced machine learning projects that will impact your resume and attract recruiters and hiring managers. We will learn about computer vision …
