Predictor and error are independent
Subscripts and clear exposition of dependencies matter. We investigate the prediction error. We construct our predictor based on data $\{(x^{(1)},y^{(1)}),\dots,(x^{(m)},y^{(m)})\}$, so write $\hat f = \hat f_m$ to remember that. We then consider predicting $$y^{(m+1)} = f[x^{(m+1)}]+ \epsilon^{(m+1)}$$ based on $x^{(...

Why are machine learning algorithms performing worse than standard multiple linear regression?
Assumptions give you power - when they are valid. When the assumptions of a linear regression (or any other simple model) are fulfilled, they will outperform more complex and flexible models. Let's consider a model with a single predictor. If the relationship is linear, a linear regression will quite likely outperform ...

Can the differential entropy be negative infinity?
Yes, there are densities with negatively infinite entropy. To construct one, find a family of densities with arbitrarily negative entropy. (Clearly this requires the density functions to have arbitrarily large values and therefore there are points where they become "singular.") By shifting and scaling them into disjoin...

Why do Variational Bayes methods assume that the likelihood $p(x|z)$ is tractable while the posterior is not?
The likelihood is often tractable because we are free to pick it and we pick something that is easy to work with. If it was not tractable, we could not compute it and could not use the model. Note that the posterior and likelihood are coupled through Bayes theorem: $$p(z|x) = \frac{p(x|z) p(z)}{p(x)}.$$ The consequenc...

Showing $S^2$ and $\overline{Y}$ are independent: seeking a solution to this textbook problem

How avoid regularizing intercept in scikit's LogisticRegression
There is one quick and dirty fix to make less regularization on intercept. To do it, we can append a huge number in intercept column say $1 \times 10^{9}$, instead of expand the data frame with all $1$ column. For example, with mtcars data, if we want to do logistic regression respect to weight, we do > head(cbind(1e...

How to decide the "best" accuracy score for prediction of binary outcome?
The scores are continuous not (necessarily) in the sense of small perturbations to the input data, but rather in small perturbations of the prediction model. Of course, small perturbations in input data will often yield small perturbations in the model. If you have probabilistic predictions for a discrete classificatio...

Famous historical example(s) of Type II error
"The harm done by tests of significance" (pdf) relates 3 true stories in which not rejecting the null while it was actually false (so making a Type II error) has been interpreted as accepting the null and had lead to bad general interest decisions. Here is a brief summary of one of them: The practice of allowing righ...

How do I examine biasedness in nonlinear regression?
If you define $$z\equiv{y}-e^{\beta_2 x_2}=\beta_0+\beta_1 x_1+u$$ then given $\beta_2$, you can estimate $\beta_0$ and $\beta_1$ via OLS. This trick is useful computationally to turn your problem into a scalar nonlinear optimization over $\beta_2$. As OLS is unbiased, any bias in the nonlinear parameter will be inher...

How do I examine biasedness in nonlinear regression?
In order to be able to talk about whether $\hat{\beta}$ is biased, we need to have some concept of a true $\beta$. That is, we need to specify a data-generating process. So in order to make this problem tractable, let's assume that $y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_{i1} + e^{\beta_2 x_{i2}} + u_i$ and $u_i \sim N(0, \sigma^2)...

How to say if the variable is significant looking only at "t value"?
Beforehand: The t distribution changes its shape depending on the degrees of freedom (df). Since in regression $df= n - p - 1$ where $n$ is the sample size and $p$ the number of the predictors, we know that $df$ increases if $n$ does (assuming $p$ stays the same). The important thing here is that the bigger the df the ...

Change threshold of classifier based on ROC
The Accuracy (or the area under the ROC curve) depends on the sample used to construct the ROC curve (see, e.g., How to interpret 95% confidence interval for Area Under Curve of ROC?). So if you use this ROC to optimise the threshold there is a risk of overfitting to the sample. You can indeed "calibrate" a threshold...

How can I prepare the input layer for recurrent neural network if there are many categorical variables?
The "default" way of dealing with categorical variables for neural networks is to use embeddings. The most popular usage is word embeddings, where words are represented by vector representation (learned or pre-trained). The advantages of such approach is that it has smaller dimensionality then if you used one-hot encod...

How can I prepare the input layer for recurrent neural network if there are many categorical variables?
This is not my area of expertise, but my understanding is that it's a lot harder to learn on a sparse representation. You won't have many training examples for each input, so most of the neurons will be training on just a few examples. The canonical example for RNNs would be NLP, and I think it's fairly standard to tr...

Bayes theorem in odds form - incorrect in Tetlock's 'Superforecasting' book? So this doesn't remain unanswered (except in comments) let's derive the odds ratio form from scratch: We know $P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)\cdot P(A)}{P(B)}$, so: $$\frac{P(A|B)}{P(\bar{A}|B)}=\frac{\frac{P(B|A)\cdot P(A)}{P(B)}}{\frac{P(B|\bar{A})\cd...

What are some of the potential consequences of adding junk controls in your regression?
We can write the formula for the standard error of a regression coefficient $\hat \beta_j$ as $$\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n \hat u^2}{(n-k-1)\sum_{i=1}^n(x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2(1-R^2_j)}}$$ where $\hat u^2$ are the regression residuals, $n$ is the numbers of observations, $k$ is the number of regressors, and $R^2_j$ is the $R...

Sequential Update of Bayesian
Indeed - you can update sequentially or in a batch fashion so long as you assume exchangeability. It's analogous to the iid assumption typically made in frequentist models. In this case, $D_{a}$ and $D_{b}$ exchangeable implies that $P(D_{a}, D_{b} \, | \, \theta) = P(D_{a} \, | \, \theta) P(D_{b} \, | \, \theta)$ f...

Sequential Update of Bayesian
Actually, the general formula of sequential Bayesian updating is: $$ P(\theta \mid D_{a}, D_{b}) \propto P(D_b \mid \theta, D_a) P(\theta \mid D_a). \,\,\,(*) $$ However, for most machine learning models, $D_a$ and $D_b$ are conditionally independent given $\theta$, i.e., $$ P(D_a \mid \theta) P(D_b \mid \theta) = ...

What does a copula density explain about dependence of random variables?
Well, the copula density is a density and can be interpreted as any other density. Specifically, with the density you have shown us, clearly the conditional distribution of one variable depends on the other, so there is dependence, not independence. Further, the density is higher (highest) for (0,0) and (1,1), and low...

Adadelta idea 1 vs RMSprop
Referring the links pointed out by you, RMSprop is focussed on updating the learning rate $\eta$ for each iteration using accumulation of square of gradients: $r_{t}=\rho r_{t-1} + (1-\rho)g_{t}^{2}$ [where g is the gradient] and plugging to find the effective learning rate at step t using: $\eta_{t}=\frac{\eta}{\sqrt[...

Multicollinearity in WLS regression
It's a great question, because it concerns an important and fundamental issue about multiple regression. The answer is that weighting can change the VIF (a measure of collinearity among the regressors) by arbitrary amounts up or down (with a lower limit of $1$). To see why that is, consider a model with two regressors...

Statistical significance test for averages of correlation coefficients
Short answer: Yes, transform each correlation ($AB_i$ and $CD_i$) using the Fisher $r-to-z'$ transform: $f(r)=\frac12 ln \frac{1+r}{1-r}$. Then, perform an independent samples t-test to test the null hypothesis of $\mu_{f(AB)}=\mu_{f(CD)}$. Rationale: You're right that approximate normality is important here. With ...
