Understanding GBM Predicted Values on Test Sample: A Guide to Improving Model Performance
Understanding GBM Predicted Values on Test Sample ============================================= Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs) are a powerful ensemble learning technique used for both classification and regression tasks. When using GBM for binary classification, predicting the outcome (0 or 1) is typically done by taking the predicted probability of the positive class and applying a threshold to classify as either 0 or 1. In this blog post, we’ll delve into why your GBM model’s predictions on test data seem worse than chance, explore methods for obtaining predicted probabilities, and discuss techniques for modifying cutoff values when creating classification tables.

Understanding UUID Storage in MySQL: Efficient Joining and Standardization Strategies
Understanding UUID Storage in MySQL In modern database systems like MySQL, a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is often used as a primary key or unique identifier for each record. However, when it comes to storing and querying UUIDs, there are different approaches that can affect the performance of your queries. One common issue arises when two tables store their UUIDs in different formats: one table stores them as human-readable GUIDs (e.

Calculating Daily Frequencies of Status Variables in a DataFrame using pivot_longer and ggplot
Frequencies by Date In this article, we’ll explore how to calculate daily frequencies of status variables in a dataframe. We’ll use the tidyverse packages and pivot_longer function to transform the data into a more suitable format for analysis. Problem Description We have a dataframe with thousands of rows, each case having a date and four status variables (yes/no answers) with some cases also missing values. The goal is to create daily distributions of these answers in bar graphs, showing the number of missing, ‘Yes’, and ‘No’ responses for each day.
