it would be relatively trivial to simulate a null distribution -- generate 10^n quasi-random maps which then give you the null distribution of voters across districts. Compare that null distribution with an actual map and if it sits beyond

ok, to really flesh it out for you then -- this is a desperate letter by the representatives of roman citizens in britain to Aetius, consul, to send help or do something since barbarians, crop failures, raids etc. it certainly gives the im

Decline or collapse, or whatever word one uses -- is not subjective, as this article seems to imply. There are loads of metrics -- levels of urbanisation, existence of monetary system and taxes, levels of literacy, state funded infrastructu

you are obviously right, but i think that in the specific case described above -- computer code -- we have binary digits as final and indivisible units.

yes, but your gain is still an integer number. the non-integer ratio is just a statistic (gain per number of units).

rather than downvoting i'm actually curious why you think unsupervised learning is not ML? there'd be so much less noise in these comments/discussions if we just did away with vague and illdefined labels such as ML or AI

This is a false dichotomy. Both OLS regression and, say, random decision forest regression have the same objective (predict values) and achieve it with similar means (build a generative model / function). They solve the same problem. C

No, not really. The "structure of the world" such nets learn is based on bottom-up processing of data -- moving from basic features such as orientations and colours to more complex features. As a result it will make famously absur
