Logistic Regression Logistic regression is used for binary classification problems -- where you have some examples that are "on" and other examples that are "off." You get as input a training set; which has some examples of each class along with a label saying whether each example is "on" or "off". The goal is to learn a model from the training data so that you can predict the label of new examples that you haven't seen before and don't know the label of. One of the first models that would be worth trying is logistic regression. Coding it up I wasn't working on this exact problem, but I was working on something close. Being one to practice what I preach, I started looking for a dead simple...

While the iMac G5's software interface for multimedia - Front Row - is new to the Mac platform.

If you want a service that allows you to quickly find the name of the person who has called you from an unknown phone number, do not fret, because help is at hand. Earlier, you would have to turn to Yellow/White Pages, or telephone directories or search engines, but more often than not, you would end up with not much to show for your efforts. That is because Yellow/White Pages do not list mobile phone numbers and search engines generally cannot find them because people do not leave their personal phone numbers on websites where search engines can trace them. So what do you do? You can use reverse phone number searches. These services are cheap, easy and accurate. There are some 'free' services, but...

Using electronics today is so much a part of our daily lives we hardly think of the way the world would be without electronics. Everything from cooking to music uses electronics or electronic components in some way. Our family car has many electronic components, as does our cooking stove, laptop and cell phone.

Your soldering iron can be an indispensable tool for a number of different projects, ranging from home improvement and electronics repair to metalwork and even arts and crafts! But since this tool is a very delicate, highly specialized instrument, it's important to take good care of it - and that's especially true of the tip, the iron's most fragile (and essential) part. In order to properly care for the tip of your iron, keep the following pointers in mind: - Don't file, grind or otherwise attempt to reshape the tip because it can permanently damage it. Instead, buy a different size or shape that is better suited to your needs. Most manufacturers offer a wide range of soldering iron tip sizes for...

This is usually preceded with the program that you are trying to load crashing fatally and maybe, just maybe you will get the pleasure of your desktop freezing up and your screen going black. Another reason for this crash could be that the program was trying to...

For those who have limited knowledge of DSP FIR and IIR terms may seem little bit tricky. Well FIR stands for Finite Impulse Response and IIR stands for Infinite Impulse Response. Lets see what does it mean in popular manner. All filters have their own characteristics. Characteristic are a response to a pulse applied to filters input. If we know filters response, we can easily calculate filters amplitude and phase behaviour. So filter can be imagined as a transfer function, which gives a certain response to input signal. In digital systems signal is sampled and each sample is considered as a pulse. Calculation filter response becomes quite easy task. Lets see what filter responses can be. A pulse in...

Once upon a time, the PC was king, then its crown (and reign) was stolen by the laptop; in its turn, the laptop was defeated by the notebook, then the new kid on the block was the netbook, but now, there's a new guy in town: the tablet netbook. Ladies and gents, welcome the technology world's latest offspring: every gadgeteer's dream come true, the perfect combination of mobility, power, storing capacity, sleekness and flexibility. In order to have a clear view on the subject at hand, we should first do a recap of this marvel's forerunners. In the 1970's, Alan Kay envisioned a "personal, portable information manipulator" that he called the "Dynabook". Laptops' screens are at least 11 inches wide...

Life usually seems to me to be a series of Rorschach tests. We each interpret events and patterns through the filter of our personal history, and no two people experience the same stimulus in the exact same way. RFID means "cutting-edge technology" to one and "the end of personal freedom" to another. "Big Brother" to one and "transportation efficiency" to another. "Professional development opportunity" to an RFID software engineer and "layoff" to a no-longer-necessary inventory clerk. But now and then the ink blot is so obvious that it transcends individual interpretation. Or in the case of Canadian technology firm Creo, it is the absence of the ink blot that is so clear. Creo has developed...

The most renowned computer technology corporation of the world is Microsoft and Bill Gates is the person who founded the company. Google is the world's famous search engine that comes to one's mind when thinking about internet.

A computer is almost incomplete with an operating system and when we think about an operating system, Microsoft Windows comes to one's mind. Although Microsoft released their first operating system in 1980 which was a variant of Unix. The company made several programs, one of them was DOS...

Public schools have been equipped with video surveillance CCTV systems even before Columbine. The reasons include increased safety and security for students. Installing video surveillance cameras in schools is a costly project, and school districts must be sure that this is the right route to deter theft, property damage, and to prevent outsiders from entering the school's property. Even though most school districts that have implemented video surveillance systems have faced privacy concerns from parents, students and civil libertarian groups, school officials assert that cameras curb crime and are important sources of physical evidence when crimes do occur.

In the late 1940's scientists developed the first machines that could store and use encoded instructions or programs. In the beginning the users performing a variety of computations had to rewrite the basic hardware of the computers. Later on the innovations dramatically changed and increased the flexibility and usefulness of computers. Instead, they could simply direct the computer to perform one of the functions that it had stored in its memory. As computers grew more powerful and the tasks they performed grew more complex, computer experts and scientists developed more complex sets of instructions that are executed automatically by the computers. Advances in computer technology have made greater...

One of the most wildly spread rogue programs, AV Security Suite became even more active and started infecting even more aggressively. The program is a member of the same family that contains the infamous Antivirus Soft and Antispyware Soft rogue programs. Typically AV Security Suite is distributed by Trojans without user's consent. It also spreads on hacked websites and comes through spam attachments. Once inside, the application loads its scanner which reports tons of infections. You must beware that the files displayed in the scan results are completely harmless: they are either your legitimate programs or don't exist at all. That's why you should act they way it tells you to act. Do not pay for...

They were discovered in 1991 by the Japanese electron microscopist Simio Iijima who was studying the material deposited on the cathode during the arc-evaporation synthesis of fullerenes. Carbon nanotubes are fullerene-related structures which consist of graphene[1] cylinders closed at either end with caps containing pentagonal rings. Examples of Nanotubes are Single-layer nanotubes and nanotube "ropes" and nanohorns. Carbon nanotubes, therefore, are rolled-up sheets of graphite - i.e. the same material that is used in pencils. A sheet of graphite is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a flat hexagonal pattern similar to chicken wire mesh. Nanoelectronic has witnessed a shift towards molecular...
