Also, someone asked about Gaussian processes yesterday. In thinking about the whole context of that discussion, I thought it might be helpful to recap some terminology.

Greetings 😃 If you haven't already gone through the welcome post , please do so now. I've put up the readings for next week (see tab above). You will need your UoM email id/password to log in (e.g. foobar@memphis.edu would log in as foobar). I've also created a refresher video for the Kaggle kernel lab we did yesterday. We will keep working with that kernel in our lab next week:

Readings for 9/19/18

I've put up the readings for next week (see tab above). You will need your UoM email id/password to log in (e.g. foobar@memphis.edu would log in as foobar). One of the readings is what's called a "scrolly." As you scroll down, it will run animations that accompany the text. You can also scroll up to reverse the animations. Scrolling up and down might be particularly helpful (like instant replay). Make sure your respond with your comments by 9/18 at noon. Make your comments by replying/commenting to this post (the one you are looking at now).
