Introduction In the first post, linked below, we worked with an introduction to Geospatial Data Analysis, where we downloaded the listings from AirBnb for the city of Asheville, in North Carolina (USA) and went through some steps to extract insights from geospatial data. Analyzing Ge...

You’ve probably heard of the term “Chi square test” at least once in your life if you have ever studied for the SAT, or worked in some science-related field. Chi-square test is used a lot in corporations, especially when making decisions involving, for instance, medical, product de...

Data drift is a concern to anyone with a machine learning model serving live predictions. The world changes, and as the consumers’ tastes or demographics shift, the model starts receiving feature values different from what it has seen in training, which may result in unexpected outputs. Detect...

If UAP have been around for a long time as suggested by some and I explore in my article UAP’s in History: A deep dive into reports of UFO’s ranging from 1300BC to 1954 then evidence at archeological sites seems logical. Pseudo-skeptics can easily claim no such evidence has bee...

Enter a realm of boundless potential, where the cosmos weaves a tapestry of parallel universes known as the multiverse theory. Imagine a multitude of universes, each with its own unique laws, constants, and circumstances, coexisting alongside our own Universe. Within these alternate realities, unima...

The Black Sea deluge hypothesis was first proposed in the 1990s by William Ryan and Walter Pitman, two geologists from Columbia University. According to their theory, at the end of the last Ice Age (around 12,000 to 7,000 years ago), the Earth’s climate was warming, and ice sheets were melting...

As far back as 1999, Morpheus was entering “The Matrix” to break Neo and a few other chosen few out of a simulated reality created by advanced machines in order to use humans as an energy source. But as the idea permeates not just the realm of science fiction and popular culture, but aca...

The K-S Test was named after two Russian statisticians from the era of the Russian Empire, Andrey Kolmogorov and Nikolai Smirnov. It was introduced in the 1930s, before World War II broke out. During that time, Joseph Stalin, who became the leader of the Soviet Union, imposed strict censorship on ac...

Whenever we make an assumption or pose a hypothesis, it’s essential to verify its validity. Let’s take a scenario: a new drug, “X,” is developed to treat disease “Y” and has shown positive results in curing “N” number of patients. The immediate impulse...

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) serves as the foundational step in understanding datasets. It entails the meticulous examination of data to unveil patterns, relationships, and critical insights. EDA is akin to detective work for data scientists, enabling them to form initial conclusions about the da...

Student’s t-tests are commonly used in inferential statistics for testing a hypothesis on the basis of a difference between sample means. However, people often misinterpret the results of t-tests, which leads to false research findings and a lack of reproducibility of studies. This problem exi...

Mahatma Gandhi, a highly educated lawyer who became one of the world’s prominent social activists, understood caste as few outside of India did, yet there are caste systems worldwide, but we don’t call them that or recognize them as such. The media picked up on this unnamed cas...

Well, according to the Innateness theory, one should not search for a source that exists outside of him/her. The theory is a nativist theory. Noam Chomsky claims that the language exists naturally within each human being. As can be inferred, the name of the theory comes from this claim. He...
