Hi Pieter. Welcome to the project. There are many open issues. Check the "easy" and "needs contributor" tags. Also, it might be possible to pick up old pull requests that got stalled. Best, Andy On 08/29/2015 11:47 PM, Pieter de Jong wrote: Hi all, I hope to contribute to scikit-learn in the

Hi all, I hope to contribute to scikit-learn in the near+medium future, and am following the instructions at http://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/ , leading me email this list. I will continue to follow those instructions and see where I can contribute; I'm open to any suggestions or pointers

Thanks Andreas, My actual name is Javier, the name in the address is for anonymity purposes. Ich spreche trotz ein bisschen Deutsch. I am getting acquainted with the code and with the algorithms and then I will decide what to implement. Thanks for you warm welcome. 2012/9/3 Andreas Mueller >

Hey Albrecht. By the way, don't hesitate to ask questions at the issues if you are unsure on how to address them or how to choose one. Feedback on the issue-tracker is often near real-time. Cheers, Andy On 09/03/2012 02:09 AM, Analytic Bastard wrote: Thanks Olivier, I'll have a look at the URL

This test is purely non-parametric, it is based on the characteristic function evaluated at the data (OK basically their Fourier transform), following a characterization of independence by A. Renyi, though its actual implementation depends on pairwise distances and that is something I must understa

O btw, you are right in your application, Since you are able to capture more non-linearities, a similarity matrix for time series data or a functional data dataset can be computed with this non-linear correlation coefficient. 2012/9/3 Analytic Bastard > Hi Olivier, > > Yes that is the coeffici

Hi Olivier, Yes that is the coefficient/statistic. Fukumizu, Gretton and coworkers also have one based on RKHS covariance operators. It would be useful to test whether any classification or regression problem can be tractable. After all, if two variables are independent, it won't be possible to t

Hi guys, My name is Javier and I am a machine learning researcher. Currently, I am learning Python and found out this excellent package. I would like to contribute by implementing any planned feature and by implementing some ideas such as a non-linear correlation coefficient by SZÉKELY and RIZZO.
