The quantitative ux research team at Google was created for exactly this problem: a service which became popular before the right metrics existed, meaning metrics need to be derived first, then optimized. We would observe users (irl), read

Others mentioned county data. If you can get that, you can build something like I did for DC -- https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Kep_9j_PN_SxX85PYHE...

My reading of this situation is that MAPE would do the opposite. Means are skewed towards outliers.

Thanks for the reply! I am outside the forecasting sphere. RMSLE gives proportional error (so, scale-invariant) without MAPE's systematic under-prediction bias. It does require all-positive values, for the logarithm step.

To clarify, you'd prefer rmsle?

For this and sibling -- yes. Essentially, using the output of any model as an input to another model is transfer learning.

How accurate is his claim that Augustus became emperor through (my paraphrasing) democratic means and promises to fix real problems for Romans?

This still strikes me as escapism.

I guess my quibble is with the percentage, then. A good, cheap, plentiful camera belies the idea that only the top 0.1% of cameras were good.

by stevenae 2y ago
Disagree with the first piece about only using the top 0.1%. I grew up (through my 20's) shooting on a Pentax K1000, cheap workhorse of a camera, and I preferred its ergonomics to top-end mirrorless cameras I use today.

Pro cameras do not do this to any degree. Edit: by default.

This is not true. R shines for classical stats and ML. If you are doing deep learning, you need Python.

Have dealt with this a couple of times. I see you're feeling some kind of reaction. I recommend talking it out with someone (professional therapist or otherwise). Often times a frustrating relationship has a clear path to amelioration,

I'm not disagreeing with that, just stating how they define the term.
