Exploring transformations for time series and how to revert them with scalecast in PythonImage by AuthorWhen forecasting time series data, stationarity is an important factor to consider. Some models — ARIMA, Holt-Winters, Exponential Smoothing, and others — are specialized for time series and do not necessarily require stationary data. A series’ stationarity refers to its tendency to return to its mean value over time. A non-stationary series introduces a trend into a dataset that can lead to functions that rely on that…

DOI: 10.1111/1745-9133.12609 Much of U.S. criminal justice policy focuses on recidivism, and probation and parole violators make up a considerable share of jail and prison populations. In a new article, a 2022 winner of the Stockholm Prize in Criminology argues that to understand desistance—the process of reducing or ending criminal behavior—we must consider the role of…

Supervised learning with time series. How to create univariate forecasting models using PythonPhoto by Adam Śmigielski on UnsplashIn this post, you’ll learn to apply supervised learning with time series using Python.This includes two things:transforming time series from a sequence into a tabular format;adding new features based on summary statistics.Forecasting is one of the most studied problems in data science. The goal is to predict future values of a time series.Accurate forecasts are invaluable for decision makers.…

A set of useful pandas tools to successfully load and transform a JSON file(image by author using canva)Loading and doing Transformations over a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file is something pretty common in the Data Engineering/Science world.JSON is a widely used format for storing and exchanging data. For example, NoSQL database like MongoDB store the data in JSON format, and REST API’s responses are mostly available in JSON.Although JSON works great for exchanging data over a network, if we intend to process the…

Intellias is number one in providing the best telecom BPO services Telecommunication companies are taking the BSS transformations to the next level. They are offering multi-play digital services and personalized pricing but with this, comes the need to upgrade and sometimes, completely transform their OSS and BSS systems in order to support these new offerings. One of the major factors in this transformation scenario is the Telecom BPO services. Telecom outsourcing generally offers omnichannel customer support. Telecom…

In a landmark discovery, researchers have rearranged atomic bonds in a single molecule for the first time. Chemical engineers from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, the University of Regensburg in Germany, and IBM Research Europe collectively began their experiment with a substance called 5,6,11,12-tetrachlorotetracene (with the formula C18H8Cl4). It is a carbon-based molecule that has a row of four honeycomb-shaped cells with four chlorine atoms on each side, hovering like hungry bees.The researchers…
