Beyond the Straight Line: Choosing Between OLS, Interaction Terms, and Tweedie Regression

Read the original on Towards Data Science →

Whether you should stick to a classic Ordinary Least Squares regression, introduce interaction terms, or pivot to a Tweedie distribution depends entirely on how your data handles the messy reality of zeros and extreme outliers. The post Beyond the Straight Line: Choosing Between OLS, Interaction Terms, and Tweedie Regression appeared first on Towards Data Science .

Energy-Tweedie: Score meets Score, Energy meets Energy

arXiv:2512. 23818v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Denoising and score estimation are classically linked through Tweedie's formula, which relates the posterior mean under Gaussian noise to the Stein score of the noisy marginal.

Discovery and inference beyond linearity for epidemiological data by integrating Bayesian regression, tree ensembles and Shapley values

arXiv:2505. 00571v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine Learning (ML) is gaining popularity in epidemiology and healthcare studies for hypothesis-free discovery of risk and protective factors.

Active Quantum Kernel Acquisition for Gaussian Process Regression

arXiv:2606. 28833v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum kernel estimation on near-term hardware is shot-budgeted: every entry of the kernel Gram matrix is a Bernoulli expectation that must be sampled with a finite number of circuit executions.

Physically Constrained Ensemble Gaussian Process Modelling for Expensive Quantum Systems with Heteroskedastic Noise

arXiv:2606. 11240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate modeling of quantum many-body systems often requires computationally expensive simulations such as Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) or Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations.

Discrete Diffusion with Sample-Efficient Estimators for Conditionals

arXiv:2602. 20293v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study a discrete denoising diffusion framework that integrates a sample-efficient estimator of single-site conditionals with round-robin noising and denoising dynamics for generative modeling over discrete state spaces.
