While Pandas and Seaborn offer very quick ways to calculate correlations and show them in a heatmap. Whether those correlations are statistically significant or not is omitted from those plots. Over the years I collected bits and pieces of code, like this, that turn out to be quite useful. Though Read more…
Bayesian analysis and probabilistic programming is fairly different from ‘regular’ analysis. So here I’ll take you through my first attempt at using PyMC3 to analyse sales data of KeyForge decks and explore the effects of COVID-19 restrictions and releasing new content. PyMC3 takes some getting used to, but at the Read more…
After seeing the Episode on Benford’s Law in Latif Nasser’s Connected (currently on Netflix), I had to test if this is true and if I could find a few datasets where it applies. And … I did! But before we get into details, let’s first explain what Benford’s Law is. Read more…
In an article I contributed to Team Bandit Gang’s website, data is shown about the number of games Pro Ranked players play at different ranks. Tough with the data that can be pulled from Gwent Masters assessing whether or not playing more will result in a higher ranking is difficult. Read more…
To expand the number of notes/chords my RP2040 based MIDI controller can play we’ll turn two keys into modifiers. This way the other 7 buttons can actually each be assigned 4 different notes/chords (a default, pressed with modifier one, pressed with modifier two and pressed with both modifiers active). So Read more…
Doing an electronics project where space comes at a premium? A regular rpi pico is to large? Have a look at the XIAO-RP2040 from Seeed Studio. Seeed Studio provided me a XIAO-RP2040 to review so let鈥檚 have a look at this nifty little board. The microchip is identical, though as Read more…
Sticker paper is easy to find, but without post-processing the stickers aren very durable. A bit of moisture and the ink starts to run. Let test if a few coats of varnish can make them more resistant. If you aren blessed with good penmanship, printing stickers is an easy out Read more…
DeckLock, a static-website generator to generate overviews of KeyForge decks, will be expanded to support Magic: the Gathering. To find more about DeckLock and how it is designed look at the previous post. Magic: the Gathering is a very different game compared to KeyForge. There is a large pool of Read more…
Recently I found myself using R scripts from others and having to deploy my own R code on other machines. The majority of these had a hard coded path to either the script or the input data somewhere in the code. This becomes an issue when code needs to run Read more…
Home Assistant is running great! It is time to add some more devices to my setup, and since all groundwork to add Zigbee devices using Zigbee2MQTT was done previously (check out this post) it makes sense to add more devices that support this protocol. For this post I picked up Read more…
