estimators

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...

Premade Estimators

TensorFlow Tutorials

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 ...

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.

Multi-worker training with Estimator

TensorFlow Tutorials

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 ...

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.

An Advanced Example of the Tensorflow Estimator Class

Towards Data Science

Estimators were introduced in version 1.3 of the Tensorflow API, and are used to abstract and simplify training, evaluation and prediction. If you haven’t worked with Estimators before I suggest to…

Build a linear model with Estimators

TensorFlow Tutorials

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 ...

Estimate Smarter, not Harder

Better Programming

One of the most difficult (and paradoxically time-consuming aspects) of a software developer’s job is estimation. When developers make estimates about their work it can affect the success of the…

Create an Estimator from a Keras model

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…

What’s Wrong With Your Estimates

Better Programming

If you often fail your estimates — this is how to estimate the tasks quickly and accurately. Photo by Headway on Unsplash Every more or less significant project has its stakeholders. And the stakehol...

Chapter 8 Estimation

Think Stats

The code for this chapter is in estimation.py . For information about downloading and working with this code, see Section 0.2 . 8.1 The estimation game Let’s play a game. I think of a distribution, an...
