Little useless-useful R functions – Absurd bias DAG with useless mental shortcuts
Exploring graphs is always a fun. Attaching the edges and nodes with real examples of psychological effects and accompany them with useless mental shortcuts is beyond fun. This is why we will call it a “cognitive bias” explorer using DAG.…Read more ›
Taylor Series Approximation To Newton Raphson Algorithm – A note for myself of the proof
We learnt to derive the Newton-Raphson algorithm from Taylor series approximation and implements it for logistic regression in R. We’ll show how the second-order Taylor expansion leads to the Newton-Raphson update formula, then compare individua...
