Higher-order moments such as skewness and kurtosis towardsdatascience.com are explained along with their practical role in machine learning. A separate analysis argues that parameter count towardsdatascience.com is a poor proxy for model complexity, introducing effective dimension as a better measure of redundancy and generalization.
Tech Evaluation
MIT Technology Review's weekday newsletter technologyreview.com tests six technology claims and examines blind spots in biotech.
