Latest Work
Machine Learning is endlessly powerful for discovering correlations where humans might otherwise struggle. Applying these correlations to unseen data, however, is a challenge. astartes seeks to make adressing interpolation and extrapolation as easy as training a model in the first place.
astartes is a drop-in replacement for sklearn's train_test_split
provides training, validation, and testing sets to avoid data leakage
rigorous model validation is dramatically simplified
implements numerous sampling algorithms to enforce interpolation and extrapolation
Sphere Exclusion, K-Means, Kennard-Stone, SPXy, and others

MATLAB Start to Finish - Lecture Series and Practice Problems for MATLAB
Included in this repository is an (approximately) 10-week curriculum intended to cover all the essentials of MATLAB, ranging from "what is the command window?" up to evaluating partial differential equations symbolically, with a focus on the skills needed for an undergraduate chemical engineering student.
