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…

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.

 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…
