np.einsum

I had this gross reshape/tensor product/transpose stuff on huge matrices, and I knew it was making intermediate copies of the matrices that I didn't want to. So I tried out np.einsum, and I think it actually turned out simpler than thinking through the other matrix manipulation.

Here are some quick notes.

Real blogs/documentation

import numpy as np
from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import as_strided
# Makes a new matrix like this:
# input: [0, 1, 2, 3]
# output: [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3]]
# But, does it all in memory using `as_strided`, so it's speedy.
# And if you make a mistake, you can see fake numbers

Bayesian linear regression with polynomial basis functions

Srry, this is a bit of an awkward format. I might move this and a few other demos to a repo.

This is code one could drop into Jupyter [1] notebook cells and draw some wicked-looking graphs. I wrote it to understand Bayesian linear regression (for this classMLPR, specifically this and this). No promises that I did it perfectly.

The graphs show samples from the posterior weights in pink.
