Data science and bioinformatics tutorials
Like many other fans of the show, I had great expectations for the eighth and last season of Game of Thrones (GoT) that premiered on 14 April 2019. The much anticipated moment coincided with the few last days I spent finalising my last post on Bayesian models. Nonetheless, it provided a good testing ground for … Continue reading Twitter data analysis in R
If there was something that always frustrated me was not fully understanding Bayesian inference. Sometime last year, I came across an article about a TensorFlow-supported R package for Bayesian analysis, called greta. Back then, I searched for greta tutorials and stumbled on this blog post that praised a textbook called Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in … Continue reading Bayesian models in R
Among most popular off-the-shelf machine learning packages available to R, caret ought to stand out for its consistency. It reaches out to a wide range of dependencies that deploy and support model building using a uniform, simple syntax. I have been using caret extensively for the past three years, with a precious partial least squares (PLS) tutorial in … Continue reading The tidy caret interface in R
Last time I promised to cover the graph-guided fused LASSO (GFLASSO) in a subsequent post. In the meantime, I wrote a GFLASSO R tutorial for DataCamp that you can freely access here, so give it a try! The plan here is to experiment with convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a form of deep learning. CNNs underlie … Continue reading Convolutional Neural Networks in R
