The advantage of decision trees
Decision trees are one of the most established methods for statistical modeling. First, they were developed for classification and then they were extended to regression. There are two possibilities of creating decision trees: by an expert or data based. Since an expert is only able to use his own knowledge, [...]
divis is now a member of the Calgary Chamber in Canada
From this year on divis is a proud member of the Calgary Chamber in Canada. We are looking forward to active discussions and exchanges with local companies in the oil and gas industry.
Gaussian processes in CVA
There are many approaches to model nonlinear systems mathematically which all have specific advantages and disadvantages. Among these approaches Gaussian processes are becoming more and more significant. Especially in the automotive industry Gaussian processes are increasingly used to accelerate the development of new vehicles. A Gaussian process is a generalized [...]
