in“Why so much PCR, and so little ridge regression? Ridge and PCR are both shrinkage procedures involving PC’s. The difference is that ridge effectively includes all PC’s and shrinks according to sizes of associated eigenvalues, whereas PCR effectively shrinks some PCs completely to zero (those not included) and doesn’t shrink others at all (those included).” Francis Diebold ( October 4, 2015 )

in“Welcome to Spark model, the beautiful thing about Spark is, it does not restrict us to traditional just Map and reduce operations. It allows us to apply collection like operations on a RDD, giving us another RDD. Since its just a RDD, it can queried via SQL interface, applied machine learning algorithms, and lot of fancy stuff.” Rahul Kavale ( Nov 16, 2014 )

in“Today’s enterprise IT teams, and the developers in their ranks, like to fail fast. They don’t have the luxury of spending months developing and testing a new application only to find out it does not or no longer will meet the needs of the business. That’s something they need to find out ASAP, and it requires agility. Big Data applications are no exception. To be successful, organizations need to extend the agile, DevOps model to Big Data and allow data scientists and the developers they work with to get to the answers they need as quickly as possible. A private cloud infrastructure can be the answer for many organizations.” Tom Phelan ( February 10, 2015 )
