a.k.a Fun With Combinatorics…. This article was initially meant to be incorporated into another article I wrote about the Wedding Seating Problem . Building A Wedding Seating Plan Using Probabilistic Methods & Simulated Annealing This article covers the Wedding Seating Plan problem which is a combinatorial puzzle of how best to assign guests to…medium.com Unfortunately the math got a bit much and I wanted to put up a mini-article title that describes exactly what this does to help anyone else with…

How you can build a quick estimate of customer growth behavior using a set of simple assumptions with the help of Kwik-Look’s free web-tool Revenue does not magically occur by itself. Revenue growth is a direct result of actions taken in your business. Do you know what growth hacks are…

This article covers the Wedding Seating Plan problem which is a combinatorial puzzle of how best to assign guests to tables given that they may want to avoid or be seated with other guests to avoid. Two in-depth example approaches are examined using a Brute Force Search and Simulated Annealing…

Happy π Day everyone ! Come one , come all — gather “a-round” as I share how the Monte Carlo simulation method can be used to estimate the value of π — Pi Day Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant . Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day…en.wikipedia.org *Yes I know it’s technically it’s Happy ‘Belated’ π Day since it’s past 3.14.2021 but my excuse is that I ran my simulation at too low a number of iterations :P and I was too lazy to wait for 22.7.2021 …

Ingredients : A cup of Factor Investing principles; A sprinkle of stock metrics freshly web scraped from Yahoo Finance ; A splash of your favorite data normalization and composite score aggregation method for flavouring, and seasoned to taste with a generous dollop of common sense In this article, we examine…

Picture a scenario where you’re in a SME and have spent some time developing a custom spreadsheet based “calculator" tool. (E.g A mortgate calculator or a home repair quote estimator or medical screening tool or whatever). Maybe you want to offer it out freely as long as users provide some…

Summary In this article, I briefly explain how Modern Portfolio Theory can be used together with Monte Carlo Simulations to estimate the optimum weights for a given portfolio of stocks to achieve the ‘best’ risk-reward trade-off This is a continuation of my last post where I shared a python web…

Summary I built a web app using Python Flask that allows you to simulate future stock price movements using a method called Monte Carlo simulations with the choice of two ‘flavours’ : Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) and Bootstrapped Sampling.

Summary In this post, I provide an introduction to Deep Fakes and briefly walk through of how I made my own ‘Deep Fake’ videos using three different methods : A commercial mobile app called Reface (formerly Doublicat) which is completely no-code and easy to use but has limited options for what…
