A Gentle Intro to Support Vector Machines

Topics/Organization: Some geometric intuition for SVMs Introducing slack variables (Soft-Margin SVMs) The SVM loss function (primal and dual forms) SVMs and Kernels Some coding examples of the above (for fun!)...

Decomposing Fourier transforms — an introduction to time-frequency decomposition

The beauty of the Fourier series and Fourier transform

Introductions to dimensionality reduction

Finding structure The whole goal of our experiments is to uncover some structure in behavior. In some cases we can make this easier for ourselves by simplifying the data we...

Understanding Gaussian processes

If you have ever tried to analyze time series data, you know that time series present all kinds of statistical challenges. Probably the most challenging aspect of time series data...

BIAC Cluster

This tutorial introduces the computational cluster at the Duke Brain Imaging and Analysis Center (BIAC) and presents a few simple use cases. Hopefully it will make your experience handling/analyzing neural...
