Let's try it #3 : Linear Regression Model Output/Observation

 Linear Regression Model Output/Observation

by Ashur Baroutta
    
    Following up and concluding our Let's Try It series. We've installed the software, we've imported our data set and selected for certain attributes. Now we need to create the learning model and start looking at results and thinking about the information we can gain from the results. 

    We need to first create the model within the program. Given the software packages we've downloaded and imported, coding has mostly been done for us, we just need to implement the provided methods. Using the software described in the series, the code looks as follows. 


    With the learning model created, we now want to fit the data within the model to the portion of the data set, that we previously split in the last blog, and score the results. To do this we implement the "fit" and "score" functions, provided already within the library, as follows. 

    
    All that is left is running the programing and printing "accuracy" to find our results. Let's try it.


    As we can see here, the model predicted a students final grade with near 87% accuracy. Results vary a few percent as you continue running the program and the model learns, though what's interesting is now with this experience we can try removing or training on different parameters and seeing which make the biggest impact (be it positively and negatively), and we can apply it to different data sets to see if results are similar or continue improving. 

    This experience was fun and encourages me to continue learning more about learning models and how to use them to produce something of value in the future. Thank you for your time and I hope to continue being apart of the program in the future.

    Ashur,

    I really commend you on your work. These last few assignments are widely applicable to many different things, and really force you to get involved. I love this sort of thing. Hope your holiday season was restful.
    Best,
    Erica

IP #6 : Reversing an Integer

Image
 Reversing an Integer by Ashur Baroutta     The focus of this submission will be on reversing a given integer passed into our function. Our problem statement is as follows "Given a signed 32-bit integer x, return x with its digits reversed. If reversing x causes the value to go outside the signed 32-bit integer range [-2^31, 2^31 -1], then return 0." Seems simple, though was actually a little odd. My initial reaction is to convert the integer to a string and then just reverse each character. Though in a way that feels like cheating as I don't think that solution is in the spirit of the assignment,  and it takes more resources to complete.      Pivoting my attention to a mathematical solution made the problem a lot more fun. Say our first example for x is 123. The way we attack it is to setup variables to track the reversed total and to track the remainder of a given iteration, we also create a loop iterating through while x does not equal 0.  The ...

IP#5 : LinkedList Removing Duplicates II

 Removing Duplicates II by Ashur Baroutta         In our last submissions, we worked on removing duplicates, this week we look at the more complicated problem of the same type. Our problem statement is " Given the  head  of a sorted linked list,  delete all nodes that have duplicate numbers, leaving only distinct numbers from the original list . Return  the linked list  sorted  as well ."      So not only do we have to remove duplicates, but we cannot return values that are not distinct, for example, if our list originally contained three 1's, we need to delete all the 1's in our list as even if we delete all but one of them, the number 1 itself is not a distinct value.      This took me about 3 days to think through and complete, the following is our code submission.  We start by first creating a new ListNode called newlist. We set its .next reference pointing to head (the ListNode passed ini...
