By hand I mean without refraining to some autodiff functionality.
These features are offered by virtually every serious machine learning framework out there and for …
Evaluating Likelihoods
I do a lot of work that revolves around model based parameter estimation. In order to fit models to data one can invoke the maximum likelihood principle, as it has nice statistical properties in terms of bias and variance of the resulting estimators. Due to the fact that I mostly deal with …
