nls2 fitting in R (get back calculated values)
I am using the nls2 package to do a fit. The fit is correct but how do I get back just the calculated values of the predicted variables?
The formula:
fit <- nls2(Trans ~ t - (h * W ^ 2 / ((WLn - x0) ^ 2 + W ^ 2)),
data = siteData,
start =…

Gaussian Process Regression: tune hyperparameters based on validation set
In the standard scikit-learn implementation of Gaussian-Process Regression (GPR), the hyper-parameters (of the kernel) are chosen based on the training set.
Is there an easy to use implementation of GPR (in python), where the hyperparemeters (of the…

X and Y are not correlated, but Y is predictor of Xin random forests classifier. How to represent this using statistics and machine learning?
X and Y are not correlated (0.3); however, when I place X in random forests classifier predicting Y, alongside two (A, B) other (related) variables, X and two other variables (A, B) are significant predictors of Y. Note that the two other (A, B)…
