Monetate Labs | Data Scientist | Conshohocken, PA (outside Philadelphia) | Full Time | ONSITE
Monetate Labs is currently looking to hire a data scientist. We are a small team (currently two) that are responsible for R&D on machine learning products at Monetate. We shepherd machine learning products through ideation, feasibility research, and development.
There is also the interesting interpretation of logistic regression as a latent choice/utility model, where unobserved variation in utility is modeled using the logistic distribution. In this interpretation, the sigmoid function arises as the CDF of the logistic distribution.
This interpretation is also nice as it shows the natural relationship between logistic and probit regression. Probit regression arises when the unobserved utility is modeled with a Gaussian distribution.
I was just about to say that this is what about four out of the six years of my math PhD have felt like. (And it's not quite done yet...May cannot get here soon enough!)
A PhD worth getting should not involve you paying tuition. Much of the time your tuition is waived and you earn a small stipend (just enough to live frugally off of) teaching/working in a lab.
From a university's perspective, grad students are cheap labor that can eat a lot of sections of low level undergrad classes.
In addition to the preposterousness of investing more than a company's market cap, I'd be interested in seeing this strategy backtested. Lots of random crap works over short time scales.
OP here, I have actually not read TAOCP at all. It's just a derivation I sometimes use to pass a few minutes while waiting/bored and I thought I'd blog about it.
In the cases where I've had to use Hadoop, this was exactly what happened. We received a huge volume of data daily, which was aggregated by a nightly Hadoop job into a much more manageable amount of data for us to analyze with python/pandas.
