Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. In isolation, the $x_1$-system is optimal: changing $x_1$ and leaving the $x_2$ at 0 will decrease system performance.

Building a Better Tomorrow with Open Source Analytics Tools

Sisense

Originally created in 2006, it’s one of the most popular open source BI tools. Between the language undergirding it and the power of its architecture, Hadoop has found a sizable following, tackling core BI tasks like statistical analytics and Big Data processing, including handling huge volumes of data from fleets of IoT sensors and more!

Our quest for robust time series forecasting at scale

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

For us, demand for forecasts emerged from a determination to better understand business growth and health, more efficiently conduct day-to-day operations, and optimize longer-term resource planning and allocation decisions. Prediction Intervals A statistical forecasting system should not lack uncertainty quantification.

Fitting Bayesian structural time series with the bsts R package

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

SCOTT Time series data are everywhere, but time series modeling is a fairly specialized area within statistics and data science. They may contain parameters in the statistical sense, but often they simply contain strategically placed 0's and 1's indicating which bits of $alpha_t$ are relevant for a particular computation. by STEVEN L.

Using random effects models in prediction problems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

We often use statistical models to summarize the variation in our data, and random effects models are well suited for this — they are a form of ANOVA after all. Cambridge University Press, (2006).

Analytics On The Bleeding Edge: Transforming Data's Influence

Occam's Razor

From 2006: Is Real-Time Analytics Really Relevant? ). In our in-flight optimization journey thus far, we have worked to identify signals that are believable, and identifying at which point they become believable (ex: statistically significant). You have the start of a fabulous in-flight optimization engine.

Building a Named Entity Recognition model using a BiLSTM-CRF network

Domino Data Lab

statistical model-based techniques – Using Machine Learning we can streamline and simplify the process of building NER models, because this approach does not need a predefined exhaustive set of naming rules. The process of statistical learning can automatically extract said rules from a training dataset. The CRF model.
