High-Dimensional Covariance Estimation when Tails are HeavyIn this article, I discuss a new covariance estimation method from our recent paper “R-NL: Fast and Robust Covariance Estimation for Elliptical Distributions in High Dimensions’’ on arXiv. I introduce the problem we are solving, try to give some intuition on how we are solving it, and briefly present the simple code we developed. On the way, I touch upon some interesting concepts, like the (robust) “Tyler’s estimator”, which I feel are somewhat underused in modern…

The path to an efficient and organized workflow.Photo by Candid on UnsplashPandas is a data analysis and manipulation library so it can get you from messy raw data to informative insights. During this process though, you are likely to do a series of data cleaning, processing, analysis operations.The pipe function helps design an organized and robust workflow when you have a set of consecutive steps to preprocess raw data.In this article, I will share 3 tips that are important in designing better pipelines.Before jumping…

Feed3 Aims To Outperform Solana And Algorand By Providing A Robust Feedback Mechanism For Metaverse-Based Games by Market Trends October 24, 2022 Communication is incomplete without the addressee’s reaction. The reaction may be in the form of a response, facial expression, or even a casual nod. It is why having a way to accurately analyse feedback is crucial.Having an effective feedback mechanism is an essential factor for any successful business.

German airline giant Lufthansa said Thursday it had “left the pandemic behind” as it reported a robust third-quarter net profit, and predicted strong demand in the months ahead. Lufthansa made huge losses when the coronavirus brought global air travel to a halt, and had to be bailed out by the German government in 2020. But a strong rebound in demand as economies reopen has lifted the company’s fortunes faster than expected. From July to September, the group made a net profit of 809 million euros ($814 million), compared…

Samsung SDI, Samsung’s battery manufacturing business arm, reported its earnings for Q3 2022. The company said it achieved record-high operating profit in Q3 2022 as the demand for its secondary batteries, used in electric vehicles, soared. The company’s sales during the quarter ending September 2022 were around KRW 5.37 trillion (around $3.79 billion), a 56.1% jump compared to Q3 2021. The South Korean firm’s regulatory filing revealed that its net profit for Q3 2022 was KRW 638.3 billion (around $451.5 million), up…

LG Energy Solution Ltd (LGES) said on Wednesday it shifted to the black in the third quarter from a year earlier on the back of robust demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and a weaker Korean won currency. The battery maker said it will continue its focus on North America, a fast-growing EV market, and step up to build stable supply chains for raw materials to meet the requirements in the new US policy on EV and green energy. Net profit came to 187.7 billion won ($131.3 million), swinging from a loss of 205.8…

It would certainly be logical to think that plants don't do well when exposed to forest fire smoke. New research, however, suggests that certain crops get hardier and more disease-resistant when liquid smoke is added to the soil.The discovery was made more or less accidentally, when Prof. Richard Ferrieri and colleagues at the University of Missouri were studying the impact of smoke-saturated soil on plant growth.Once a week throughout the 2022 growing season, the scientists added liquid smoke to the soil in which potted…
