#StatisticsChallenge (30/50)
Went to class and learnt that next week's class will be streamed online, so I can travel a couple days earlier for holiday.
Summary:
Class: 1
Does anyone have any thoughts on managing their research data using SQL or similar? I'm rapidly entering the zone where I have many disparate CSV files with measurements for the same sample set, and thinking a hierarchical approach may be useful here to collate data usefully. Would have to be usable within R, but otherwise I'm open. I'm looking at Apache Arrow, but I have no idea whether this is the right tool for this job.

Jumping back to the basics and writing up notes on $\sigma$-algebras.

#StatisticsChallenge (23/50)
Just one of those days that one is too busy to do much more.
Summary:
Quiz: 1
#StatisticsChallenge (22/50)
Had a situation today where I could use the Kullback–Leibler divergence to compare differences of bus routes that have potential alternate routes. Though it might be a bit overkill.
Summary:
Quiz: 1
#StatisticsChallenge (21/50)
Continued and finished the homework from day 19.
The one problem dealt with showing that the Kullback–Leibler divergence is greater equal to zero with using the Jensen's inequality.
The other problem dealt with showing the moment-generating function for the gamma distribution.
Summary:
Homework: 2
#StatisticsChallenge (20/50)
Dealt with the step function in class. The image defines a step function. To my understanding it is right continuous, so wouldn't it be an over estimate for functions that are $f'(x) < 0$ and thus in such a case the ceiling function would be better? Or does it not matter?

A #statistics question:
Let's say we have a symmetric distribution around /(x=\alpha/). In this case is the expected value /(/mathbb{E}(X)=\alpha/)?
If the symmetric distribution is /(f(x)/), then what would be the median? Is it /(f(/alpha)/) or is it just /(/alpha/).
I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.
On the artistic side, to dub all content under the Creative Commons license. Thereby, ideally, only using tools and resources that are #FLOSS #OpenSource. #nobot
