Cook’s distance is a measure computed to measure the influence exerted by each observation on the trained model. It is measured by building a regression model and therefore is impacted only by the X variables included in the model. What is Cooks Distance? Cook’s distance measures the influence exerted by each data point (row / …

Z score, also called as standard score, is used to scale the features in a dataset for machine learning model training. It can also be used to detect outliers. In this one, we will first see how to compute Z-scores and then use it to detect outliers. How is Z-score used in machine learning? Now, …
Z score is one of the most important concepts in statistics. It is also called standard score. Typically it is used to scale the features for machine learning. But can also be used to detect outliers. Also Read: How to detect outliers with IQR and Box Plots How is Z-score used in machine learning? Now, …
Let’s understand what are outliers, how to identify them using IQR and Boxplots and how to treat them if appropriate. 1. What are outliers? In statistics, outliers are those specific data points that differ significantly from other data points in the dataset. There can be various reasons behind the outliers. It can be because of …

conda is a popular package management system that allows you to create isolated environments with different versions of packages and dependencies. Earlier we saw how to create a new conda environment and steps to manage it. However, if you no longer need an environment, you can delete it to free up disk space and simplify …
Spline interpolation is a special type of interpolation where a piecewise lower order polynomial called spline is fitted to the datapoints. That is, instead of fitting one higher order polynomial (as in polynomial interpolation), multiple lower order polynomials are fitted on smaller segments. This can be implemented in Python. You can do non-linear spline interpolation …

Interpolation can be used to impute missing data. Let’s see the formula and how to implement in Python. But, you need to be careful with this technique and try to really understand whether or not this is a valid choice for your data. Often, interpolation is applicable when the data is in a sequence or …

Machine Learning works on the idea of garbage in – garbage out. If you put in useless junk data to the machine learning algorithm, the results will also be, well, ‘junk’. The quality and consistency of results depend on the data provided. Missing values in data degrade the quality. Why clean the data before training …

Exploratory Data Analysis, simply referred to as EDA, is the step where you understand the data in detail. You understand each variable individually by calculating frequency counts, visualizing the distributions, etc. Also the relationships between the various combinations of the predictor and response variables by creating scatterplots, correlations, etc. EDA is typically part of every …
After importing with pandas read_csv(), dataframes tend to occupy more memory than needed. This is a default behavior in Pandas, in order to ensure all data is read properly. It’s possible to optimize that, because, lighter the dataframe, faster will be the operations you do on them later on. So, let’s first check how much …
