Estimators

Plain and Simple Estimators

Towards Data Science

Machine learning is awesome, except when it forces you to do advanced math. The tools for machine learning have gotten dramatically better, and training your own model has never been easier. We’ll…

TensorFlow Guide

Advantages Similar to a tf.keras.Model , an estimator is a model-level abstraction. The tf.estimator provides some capabilities currently still under development for tf.keras . These are: Parameter se...

A Guide to Estimator Efficiency

Towards Data Science

The efficiency of a statistical estimator is the ratio of the Cramer-Rao bound on variance to the actual variance in the estimator's predictions.

The Consistent Estimator

Towards Data Science

A consistent estimator is one which produces a better and better estimate of whatever it is that it’s estimating, as the size of the data sample it is working upon goes on increasing.

Performing Statistical Estimation

Towards Data Science

Statistics, as we know, is the study of gathering data, summarizing & visualizing the data, identifying patterns, differences, limitations and inconsistencies and extrapolating information regarding…

Warning: Estimators are not recommended for new code. Estimators run v1.Session -style code which is more difficult to write correctly, and can behave unexpectedly, especially when combined with TF 2 ...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters for Random Variables

Towards Data Science

C oncepts in probability and statistics can be somewhat elusive due to the combination of high level mathematics, bad notation, and entanglement of random variables and data. This article sheds light ...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Analytics Vidhya

The main goal of statistical inference is learning from data. However, data we want to learn from are not always available/easy to handle. Imagine we want to know the average income of American…

Estimation, Prediction and Forecasting

Towards Data Science

Estimation implies finding the optimal parameter using historical data whereas prediction uses the data to compute the random value of the unseen data. Estimation is the process of optimizing the…

Let’s talk about estimation.

Level Up Coding

I struggled a lot with estimations in my two years as a developer. And I’m not the only one, most of my coworkers struggle with this too. I think it’s because nobody teaches you how to estimate when…

Matching estimator is powerful, and simple

Towards Data Science

A challenge with many observational studies for obtaining causal effect is self-selection — in many cases, people choose to receive treatment for some reasons, and consequently, the treated people…

Last Updated on August 8, 2019 Statistical hypothesis tests can be used to indicate whether the difference between two samples is due to random chance, but cannot comment on the size of the difference...

A Gentle Introduction to Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Towards Data Science

The first time I heard someone use the term maximum likelihood estimation, I went to Google and found out what it meant. Then I went to Wikipedia to find out what it really meant. I got this: To…
