A Simple Explanation of Partial Least Squares
Partial Least Squares (PLS) is a widely used technique in chemometrics, especially in the case where the number of independent variables is significantly larger than the number of data points. There are many articles on PLS [HTF01, GK86] but the mathematical details of PLS do not always come out clearly in these treatments. This paper is an attempt to describe PLS in precise and simple mathemat...
متن کاملA Simple Geometric Explanation of Occam’s Razor
Occam’s razor states that out of possible explanations, plans, and designs, we should select the simplest one. It turns out that in many practical situations, the simplest explanation indeed turns out to be the correct one, the simplest plan is often the most successful, etc. But why this happens is not very clear. In this paper, we provide a simple geometric explanation of Occam’s razor. 1 For...
متن کاملA simple explanation for taxon abundance patterns.
For taxonomic levels higher than species, the abundance distributions of the number of subtaxa per taxon tend to approximate power laws but often show strong deviations from such laws. Previously, these deviations were attributed to finite-time effects in a continuous-time branching process at the generic level. Instead, we describe herein a simple discrete branching process that generates the ...
متن کاملWhy Skew Normal: A Simple Pedagogical Explanation
In many practical situations, we only know a few first moments of a random variable, and out of all probability distributions which are consistent with this information, we need to select one. When we know the first two moments, we can use the Maximum Entropy approach and get normal distribution. However, when we know the first three moments, the Maximum Entropy approach doe snot work. In such ...
