Download or read book Explanatory Model Analysis written by Przemyslaw Biecek and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explanatory Model Analysis Explore, Explain and Examine Predictive Models is a set of methods and tools designed to build better predictive models and to monitor their behaviour in a changing environment. Today, the true bottleneck in predictive modelling is neither the lack of data, nor the lack of computational power, nor inadequate algorithms, nor the lack of flexible models. It is the lack of tools for model exploration (extraction of relationships learned by the model), model explanation (understanding the key factors influencing model decisions) and model examination (identification of model weaknesses and evaluation of model's performance). This book presents a collection of model agnostic methods that may be used for any black-box model together with real-world applications to classification and regression problems.

Download or read book Moir s Guide South written by Geoff Spearpoint and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moir's Guide South is well established as the standard route guide for all tramping tracks and routes in Fiordland National Park and adjacent areas. This is primarily a tramping guide to the valleys and passes; climbing in the Fiordland area is covered in The Darrans Guide (see Mountaineering Guides). Moir's Guide can be likened to Hone Heke's famous axe which had two new heads and three new handles. This sixth edition of Moir's Guide is the result of cumulative efforts by eight different editors and countless contributors over the last 70 years. Moir's Guide Book (Southern Section) was first published in 1925 and ever since has been recognised as the classic guide to the back-packing, tramping and hunting areas of Fiordland and now the Eyre, Snowdon and Takitimu Mountains. This completely revised and updated sixth edition describes every known track and route in these areas including New Zealands most famous walking tracks - the Milford, Routeburn, Hollyford, Greenstone-Caples, and Kepler Tracks. The less well known but equally spectacular Dusky and George Sound Tracks are also covered.The route and track descriptions are matched to the levels of experience parties are likely to have. For the popular tracks the information provided should enable those with little experience to find their way while those travelling through more challenging country will find the route descriptions indispensible. Moir's Guide South also contains essential advice on bushcraft, how to travel through untracked country following deer trails, and what to do should the party become overdue. It concludes with a glossary of New Zealand outdoor terms and a comprehensive index.
