Deep Neural Network in R
Neural Network in R, Neural Network is just like a human nervous system, which is made up of interconnected neurons, in other words, a neural network is made up of interconnected information processing units. The neural network draws from the parallel processing of information, which is the strength of this method. A neural network helps us to extract meaningful information and detect hidden patterns from complex data sets. A neural network is considered one of the most powerful techniques in the data science world. This method is developed to solve problems that are easy for humans and difficult for machines.
Logistic Regression - A Complete Tutorial with Examples in R
Logistic regression is a predictive modelling algorithm that is used when the Y variable is binary categorical. That is, it can take only two values like 1 or 0. The goal is to determine a mathematical equation that can be used to predict the probability of event 1. Once the equation is established, it can be used to predict the Y when only the X--s are known. Earlier you saw what is linear regression and how to use it to predict continuous Y variables. In linear regression the Y variable is always a continuous variable.
Weather forecast with regression models – part 4
Results so far obtained allow us to predict the RainTomorrow Yes/No variable. As a consequence, we are able so far to predict if tomorrow rainfall shall be above 1mm or not. In case of "at least moderate" rainfall, we would like to be as much reliable as possible in predicting {RainTomorrow "Yes"}. Since RainTomorrow "Yes" is perceived as the prediction of a potential threat of damages due to the rainfall, we have to alert Canberra's citizens properly. That translates in having a very good specificity, as explained in the presecution of the analysis. That is motivated by the fact that weather forecast comprises more than one prediction.
Decomposition of the Factor Encoding for CSPs

Generalized arc consistency (GAC) is one of the most fundamental properties for reducing the search space when solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Consistencies stronger than GAC have also been shown useful, but the challenge is to develop efficient and simple filtering algorithms. Several CSP transformations are proposed recently so that the GAC algorithms can be applied on the transformedCSP to enforce stronger consistencies. Among them, the factor encoding (FE) is shown to be promising with respect to recent higher-order consistency algorithms. Nonetheless, one potential drawback of the FE is the fact that it enlarges the table relations as it increases constraint arity. We propose a variation of the FE that aims at reducing redundant columns in the constraints of the FE while still preserving full pairwise consistency. Experiments show that the new approach is competitive over a variety of random and structured benchmarks.
