THIS CAN TAKE THE FORM OF A HIERARCHY OR ORDER

this can take the form of a hierarchy or order

While we have only touched on a portion of unsupervised learning, it is important to note that it is a vital branch of machine learning with lots of real world applications. Clustering as an example can be used to discover data groups and get a unique perspective of data before feeding it into traditional supervised learning algorithms.

Implementation of the Model

Clustering is a type of unsupervised learning technique in which there are no explicit labels. Clustering is used to discover groups of data points in a dataset. A group or cluster is made up of members that are similar to each other but are collectively different from other clusters. A good clustering algorithm must have the ability to discover some or all hidden clusters in a dataset, should exhibit in cluster similarity but different clusters should be dissimilar or far from each other. The clustering algorithm should also be scalable to larger datasets and should be able to handle noisy data points and outliers.

There are two main categories of clustering algorithms - hierarchical clustering algorithms and partitive clustering algorithms. In hierarchical clustering, there is a clear relationship between discovered clusters. This can take the form of a hierarchy or order. Whereas in partitive algorithms, the relationship between clusters is not clear and it is sometimes referred to as having a flat structure. Clustering algorithms can also be seen from another perspective. Algorithms that allow a data point to belong to more than one cluster are known as soft clustering algorithms. In such a process, probabilities are assigned to each data point to indicate how likely it belongs to any particular cluster. Hard clustering algorithms on the other hand, require that data points only belong to exactly one cluster.

It Does Not Require Trendlines Or Other Indicators To Be Able To Project Future Moves

( The picture was taken from: http://www.technicaltradingindicators.com/tradestation- indicator s/83-candlestick-patterns/) Depending on the time frame, a candle like Hammer or Shooting Star can be a clear reversal signal as it shows enormous buying/selling pressure on the coin. It does not require trendlines or other indicators to be able to project future moves, especially if the candle was formed on a daily time frame or higher. Another very important single candle you will need is the one that appears during a blow-off top or capitulation. Those two are the reversal points in a trend, where the price makes an explosive move which then very quickly retraces. It is an indicator of a buying/selling climax that is followed by other people leaving or entering the market in an accelerated movement. A candle like this usually is massive and has a long wick which is later followed by another few candles that represent this accelerated buying/selling. Candles can also create...

INFORMED I KEEP INFORMED

Service Assets. the organization needs assets to create value. Assets have two types : Capabilities . Like, wisdom, people, management Resources . Like, data and application. Capabilities by themselves cannot produce value without adequate resources. Figure 8 Service Value Responsibility Matrix There are many responsibility matrixes available with many variations, the most common is RACI. To create RACI or any of its variations. Column : build it by labeling a column head which will be the team member or the job function. Rows : On the Rows, list activity, services, whatever necessary. In each cross cell, fill the responsibility. Always use people names, not job functions. This will enforce the accountability. Responsibility Explanation Responsible R The one Executing the action. Accountable A The final approval. Typically, a team leader. Consulted C Subject matter expert. ...

DO YOU THINK OF THE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

LINUX Simple and Effective Strategies to Learn and Execute Linux Programming DANIEL JONES Introduction I want to thank you and congratulate you for purchasing the book, “Linux: Simple and Effective Strategies to Learn and Execute Linux Programming.” This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to get started using the Python programming language for fulfilling your programming goals with Linux. Python is one of the most common and important programming languages today. It is user friendly, easy to learn, and is capable of producing complex programs. Of all of the programming languages available, it is probably the most ide all y suited for programming with Linux. Linux is compatible with a wide array of programming languages, but in today’s computing environment, Python is probably the way to go. If you don’t yet know how to code with Python, or don’t know how to code at all, that’s OK! This book will help you get started. By the time you finish, you wi...
