Hamilton’s Equations Suppose \(\mathbf{q} = \mathbf{q}(t) \in \mathbb{R}^d\) is a position vector of a particle at time \(t \geq 0\). We recall that \[\begin{align} \mathbf{v} &= \dfrac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{q}}{\mathrm{d}t} \\ \mathbf{a} &= \dfrac{\mathrm{d}^2\mathbf{q}}{\mathrm{d}t^2} \end{align}\]

TL;DR my viewpoint I am in practice a Frequentist, but at heart a Bayesian. Regression To understand why I might take this perspective, let’s go through some theory. First, let’s assume a standard data-generating process for a regression:

Views and opinions expressed are solely my own. As I have been learning Bayesian statistics, one result that I have been somewhat aware of but have found it very difficult to find a proof of is the following statement: Jeffreys’ prior is invariant.

Views and opinions expressed are solely my own. Introduction In my talk in Data Tech 2024 on June 7, 2024, I will be taking the audience from a background in undergraduate probability through a journey through what I have learned about reinforcement learning over the last school year, through an intro to deep reinforcement learning (DRL).

Views and opinions expressed are solely my own. The inevitable question: I got an A in Deep Learning (CS 7643). Introduction This post marks the day when my grade for Deep Learning (DL) has been released for my second semester in OMSCS (Spring 2024).

Views and opinions expressed are solely my own. Background In a previous post - about two years ago - I speculated that one could solve Thrill Digger using reinforcement learning (RL).

Views and opinions expressed are solely my own. I once had a conversation with someone who wanted help designing an A/B test for a website. The design was more or less what one would have for a conventional two-sample proportions \(Z\)-test: users would be assigned randomly, by IP address, to one of two versions of a website.
