This post shows how filling histograms can be done in very different ways thereby connecting very different areas: from gradient boosted trees to SQL queries to one-hot encoding. Let's jump into it! Modern gradient boosted trees (GBT) like LightGBM, XGBoost and the HistGradientBoostingRegressor of scikit-learn all use two techniques on ...

Lasso regression is another algorithm that uses regularization to handle variables. Essentially, this algorithm will reduce coefficients to zero based on whether they contribute meaningfully to the results. The video below will explain how to use Lasso regression in Python.

There’s one major problem with ChromeDriver: anti-bot services are able to detect that a browser session is being automated (as opposed to being used by a regular meat sack) and will often impose restrictions or deny connections altogether. The Undetected ChromeDriver (undetected-chromedriver) Python package is a patched version of ...

Ridge regression belongs to a family of regression called regularization regression. This family of regression uses various mathematical techniques to reduce or remove coefficients from a regression model. In the case of ridge, this algorithm will reduce coefficients close to zero but never actually remove variables from a model. In ...
