Estimation

  • Lyrics copyright by John Bailer
    may be sung to the tune of  "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash

    I can see clearly now the data stream
    Revealing all patterns contained therein
    Gone the obscuring clouds that had me blind
    It’s gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) clear data day

    I can see all features I need to use
    Response and all variables engineered
    Here is the model construct I’ll apply
    It’s gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) clear data day

    I can code clearly now, the data’s shown
    All the noise represented in my view
    Gone the confounders that once had me lost
    It’s gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) model fit day

    Oh yes, I can build a model with the aim
    To make response patterns so very clear
    Here is the AUC I’ve waited for
    It’s gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) model fit day

    [Bridge]
    (Ooh)
    Look all around, outliers well described
    Look straight ahead, residuals normalized

    I infer safely now the model fits
    I can interpolate and thus predict
    Cross-validation, now I’m confident
    It’s gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) model fit day

    [Outro]
    It’s gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) clear data day
    It’s gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) model fit day
    (Sung twice )

    I was born to be a traitor, no one knows my name.
    They call me the multi-armed bandit, and alone I play my game.

    Now I, keep score of everyone, no one escapes my eyes,
    I keep count, of rewards, that I collect as time goes by, and I

    Explore, exploit anyone, without thinking too hard,
    Never, keeping anyone, always looking around and around
    No regrets, no regrets

    I was born to be a traitor, no one knows my name.
    They call me the multi-armed bandit, and alone I play my game.
    Now I'm searching, near and far, all my arms been tried,
    no context, there to use, uncertainty drove this ride. I'm gonna

    Explore, exploit all of them, never thinking too hard,
    fighting to find the best of them, always looking around and around
    No regrets, no regrets

    Now I know I am a traitor, no one knows my name.
    They call me the multi-armed bandit, and I always win my game.
    To get rewards, is my business, and I know I can prove, I can
    help you, decide without the AB testing you might do, I can

    Explore, exploit anyone, without thinking too hard,
    Never, keeping anyone, always looking around and around
    No regrets, no regrets

    I want to know, if it is possible to live a life with no regrets.
