I saw an article which I can't remember that warned in which contexts auto.arima might not work. But in the majority of times auto.arima outperforms the old Box-Jenkins methodology.

you are a programmer. At least in my book. You may not be experienced in architecting software projects, or writing highly maintainable code, or dealing with niche frameworks and tools (gui frameworks, network systems). But that is just a l

what do you mean? You looked at the analyse report and changed the query to avoid some unnecessary computation?

you can also use of a shrunken average. If the group has much data, it has its own average, else it is just a slight deviation of the global mean.

HOLY CRAP I've been trying to find visdata for the past year or so. Saw it once here on HN and was completely unable to find it again. Thanks for mentioning it.

as a vim user, what I found difficult wasn't the stuff taught in vimtutor, but rather how to get to know the tool it self. Buffers, windows, autocomplete, files browsing, all of that requires you to dig around the help files and the we

I really think these kind of articles are valuable in the sense that they make us question the way we code our applications. But I still think it's too easy to point to a problem without discussing possible solutions. I know the functi

Bisqwit is a true programmer in my mind. The type that actually gets the hands dirty on lower level stuff and enjoys it wholeheartedly. Always a joy to watch his stuff

You just blew my mind with this comment. I'm a statistics undergrad student and I really need to up my math knowledge. Where is this fact from? Functional analysis?

HUuuum idk about security being a problem now a days. The community overlook in an opensource library vastly outweighs my capabilities of writing secure libraries.

Usually, every statistical model is a special case of a probabilistic model in which its parameters have been estimated by data. The regression E[Y|X] is basically the mean of a gaussian distribution of Y given X with sigma set to the error

I saw a simple tool somewhere a while ago (maybe a month or so ago) of a simple cli for data inspection in the terminal. It seemed very useful for inspecting data ssh'ed into a machine. However, I can't seem to recall the name. Ha

Dependency management, in my opinion, is one of the problems in the R ecosystem. The lack of name spaces when calling functions has made the community have many little packages that only do one thing on you are not really sure where it was

I tend to think that, if I am working with other people, python is the best choice. But if I'm working alone, R is the way to go.

To be totally honest, even though I love Jupyter notebooks, I wouldn't teach someone to code using it. See, as someone who's not, originally a programmer, I believe that teaching someone to code is intertwined with teaching (gradu

I have the exact same problem as you. The reason why I behave like that is always due to some sort of anxiety in finishing the task at hand, together with a flawed protocol to design and review it. So what seems to help me is: - slow down,

I too find those comparisons confusing. Being a python programmer for 3 years now, I can see what actually made me keep learning it to the point I use it professionally, daily. The language has enough mixes of advanced features that allowed

If you aim to have a pythonic data layer, I've heard good things about pony orm[1]. I mean,you can't get much more pythonic then the example they have on their website. But I haven't used it my self. [1]( https://po

I go to coffee shops usually when I have to: - just focus on some non coding task (presentation, report, or what ever) - focus on a single problem - code something from scratch All those are slightly easier when I don't have a huge scr
