A x-post from my contribution to pgmpy, a library for probabilistic graphical models in python. You can find the original tutorial here, MirrorDescentEstimator here and MaximumLikelihoodEstimator h...

A post about modeling tabular datasets using Undirected Graphical Models with a python package called pgmpy. import numpy as np import pandas as pd import plotly.graph_objects as go import plotly....

I saw this interesting math problem from a coworker and decided to make a post discussing the computation. Coin Flipping Problem Flip a fair coin 100 times—it gives a sequence of heads (H) and t...

Should you rent or buy your next home? NumPy rewrite of this New York Times Calculator. You can find notebook here which uses NumPy and numpy-financial. import pandas as pd import numpy as np impor...

A post about the speed of the computation of the Ising Model. I compare Python, Cython, Numba, Mojo, & Julia on the Ising Model. I am sure there are optimizations I missed, e.g. vectorize, p...

Tips & Tricks I learned along the way for using Micropython with a Raspberry Pi Pico W (Pico). This is a 0 to 1 post for starting a project on the Pico. The particular use case is not as import...

A post about the computation of the Ising Model. Ising Model Code Code inspired by this post by @Jake VanderPlas which compares Python against cPython. import numpy as np import pandas as pd impo...

A post about the theory of the Ising Model. Ising Model I have talked before about Lagrangians and Hamiltonians for classical systems, now it is time to see one from statistical physics. Before ge...

In this post, I discuss the physics behind Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), Hamiltonian Mechanics. Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) There are several great references for learning about HMC. My favorit...

In this post I want to describe two methods that both use the word “Least” to describe them. Both of these concepts are foundational in their respective field (physics and statistics), and I find i...
