Feb. 28, 2025

Dear all, There are still 5 seats left for the upcoming Physalia course "Machine Learning Methods for Longitudinal Data with Python," which is taking place online from 6-9 May. This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to analyzing sequence data (repeated over time or space) when time and causation play a crucial role. This course will cover both classical statistical and modern machine learning approaches to handling time-dependent data. Participants will learn how to recognize and address temporal dependencies, disentangle cause-effect relationships, and apply appropriate modeling techniques for forecasting, survival analysis, and multi-omics data integration. Topics will include: Statistical and machine learning methods for sequence data Bias resolution: confounding, colliding, and mediator biases Time-series forecasting and predictive modeling Bayesian networks and graph models Applications in epidemiology, gene expression, and multi-omics The course combines lectures, hands-on exercises, and case studies to ensure participants gain practical skills for applying these methods to real-world biological data.

For non-fiction a decent index does wonders. A good layout and talble of contents also helps. Decorators? Chapter 14, page 254, all you ever wanted to know about them.

Book recommendation? For getting up to date
by Jan Erik Moström Feb. 19, 2025

Feb. 19, 2025

I'm looking for a book that would teach me the lastest and greatest parts of Python, does anyone have any recommendations? I've looked at python.org and pythonbooks.org but I couldn't decide which one to get. I used to be fairly good at Python, but I haven't done any serious programming in the last 10 years or so. So I would like something that got me up-to-date with the latest features. I don't need anything that would teach me OOP, functional programming, etc (unless there is a new feature). In other words I'm looking for something that concentrates language specific changes that has happened the last 10 years or so. = jem

Wider than that, but could still fit the bill: Fluent Python https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/fluent-python-2nd/9781492056348/ -- DW

I haven't read the entire book, but I'm reading it slowly. The beauty of this book is that it's very concise without being just a reference. Since you're familiar with Python already, this is likely a good match to you.

It does start with the basics but overall I enjoyed it.
