The following notebook demonstrates how to use GridSearchCV to identify optimal hyperparameters for a given model and metric, and alternatives for selecting a classifier threshold in scikit-learn. First we load the breast cancer dataset. We will...

In this post, I’ll demonstrate how to estimate the coefficients of a logistic regression model using the Fisher Scoring algorithm in Python. These estimates will be compared with statsmodels coefficients to ensure consistency. In a generalized li...

Within scikit-learn, pipelines allow for the consolidation of all data preprocessing steps along with a final estimator using a single interface. The pipeline object can then be passed into a grid search routine to identify optimal hyperparameter...

Backpropagation is a key algorithm used in training fully connected neural networks, also known as feed-forward neural networks. In this algorithm, the network’s output error is propagated backward, layer by layer, to adjust the weights of conne...
