SXSW Action - Sample Data |
We've posted some data to illustrate the process of fitting model parameters to data.
Contents | |
Sample Data File
You can get the sample file "data.txt" here.
The file is a tab-delimited table containing:
- An iteration_id in the first column.
- A lossfunction (measure of goodness of fit) in the second column
- Parameter values in the remaining columns. (In this case 24 parameters are required to parameterize the model)
Data comes from an optimization run using a genetic algorithm to guide sampling of new parameter proposals iteratively.
Goal
The goal is to mimimize the loss function.
