When Variable Reduction Doesn’t Work
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under estatística, materiais para profissionais
Um bom exemplo de como os procedimentos habituais nem sempre funcionam
Summary: Exceptions sometimes make the best rules. Here’s an example of well accepted variable reduction techniques resulting in an inferior model and a case for dramatically expanding the number of variables we start with.
of the things that keeps us data scientists on our toes is that the well-established rules-of-thumb don’t always work. Certainly one of the most well-worn of these rules is the parsimonious model; always seek to create the best model with the fewest variables. And woe to you who violate this rule. Your model will over fit, include false random correlations, or at very least will just be judged to be slow and clunky.
Certainly this is a rule I embrace when building models so I was surprised and then delighted to find a well conducted study by Lexis/Nexis that lays out a case where this clearly isn’t true.

Dictionary of Numbers
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under estatística, matemática, materiais para profissionais
is an award-winning Google Chrome extension that tries to make sense of numbers you encounter on the web by giving you a description of that number in human terms. Like a dictionary describes words you don’t know in terms you do, Dictionary of Numbers puts quantities you’re unfamiliar with in terms you can understand. Because “8 million people” means nothing, but “population of New York City” means everything.
