Just-in-Time Technique
Just in time (JIT) is a production strategy striving to improve a business's return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs. To meet JIT objectives, the process relies on signals or Kanban between different points in the process. Kanban is usually "tickets" but can be simple visual signals, like the presence or absence of a part on a shelf. Implemented correctly, JIT focuses on continuous improvement and can improve a manufacturing organization's return on...
Expected Dividends and Constant Growth
GROWTH RATE Valuations rely heavily on a company's expected growth rate. One must look at the historical growth rate of both sales and income to get a feel for the type of future growth expected. However, companies and the economy are constantly changing, so solely using historical growth rates to predict the future is not an acceptable form of valuation. Instead, they are used as guidelines for what future growth could look like if similar circumstances are encountered by the company. Calcul...
Feature selection
Why would it even be necessary to select features? To some, this idea may seem counterintuitive, but there are at least two important reasons to get rid of unimportant features. The first is clear to every engineer: the more data, the higher the computational complexity. As long as we work with toy datasets, the size of the data is not a problem, but, for real loaded production systems, hundreds of extra features will be quite tangible. The second reason is that some algorithms take noise (no...
Clustering Algorithms
Machine learning datasets can have millions of examples, but not all clustering algorithms scale efficiently. Many clustering algorithms compute the similarity between all pairs of examples, which means their runtime increases as the square of the number of examples \[n\], denoted as \[O(n^2)\] in complexity notation. \[O(n^2)\] algorithms are not practical for datasets with millions of examples. The K-MEANS ALGORITHM has a complexity of \[O(n)\], meaning that the algorithm scales linearly wi...
