Re: [FRIAM] "All [persons] are created equal"

I'm deeply confused... Am I to get the impression that you want to use "equal" to indicate things that are not the same, but use "similar" to indicate things that are the same? I mean... you do keep trying to pitch schemes for making inheritance exactly the same for everyone, right? Is that not

Re: [FRIAM] Weighted Ensemble

Yes, I have been using the sklearn random forest and other ensemble methods at SigmaLabsInc. I can't tell you too much because it is proprietary, but we downsample the normal pixels some, upsample the anomalies some, and apply class weights to complete the balance. We wrote a white paper that is a

[FRIAM] Weighted Ensemble

I am presently working on learning weighted ensemble sampling techniques and was curious if any here have worked with them before. The technique seems promising and has enjoyed quite a bit of success (even above MCMC
