Smoothing Example with Savitzky-Golay Filter in Python

     Savitzky-Golay filter is used in signal processing to eliminate noise in a signal and improve the smoothness of a signal trend. The filter calculates a polynomial fit of each window based on polynomial degree and window size. 

    SciPy API provides the savgol_filter() function to implement Savitzky-Golay filter in Python. In this tutorial, we'll briefly learn how to smooth the signal data by using savgol_filter() function in Python. 

    The tutorial covers:

1. Preparing signal data
2. Smoothing with Savitzky-Golay filter
3. Source code listing
   

    We'll start by loading the required libraries.

import numpy as np
from scipy import signal
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 

 

LightGBM Multi-class Classification Example in R

     Muti-class or multinomial classification is type of classification that involves predicting the instance out of three or more available classes. 

    LightGBM is an open-source gradient boosting framework that based on tree learning algorithm and designed to process data faster and provide better accuracy. LightGBM can be used for regression, classification, ranking and other machine learning tasks.  

    In this tutorial, we'll briefly learn how to classify multi-class data by using LightGBM in R. The tutorial covers:

1. Preparing the data
2. Fitting the model and prediction
3. Accuracy checking
   
4. Source code listing

    We'll start by installing R interface package of LightGBM API and loading the required packages.

install.packages("lightgbm")

library(caret)
library(lightgbm)

Differential Evolution Optimization Example in Python

    Differential Evolution (DE) is a population-based metaheuristic search algorithm to find the global minimum of a multivariate function. DE is a kind of evolutionary computing algorithm that starts with an initial set of candidate solution and updates it iteratively. 

    SciPy provides differential_evolution() function to implement differential evolution method in Python. In this tutorial, we'll briefly learn how to implement and solve optimization problem with differential evolution method by using this differential_evolution() function.

    The tutorial covers:

1. Understanding the problem
2. Differential Evolution implementation
3. Source code listing
   

 We'll start by loading the required libraries.

import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import differential_evolution
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import cm
