Tomorrow: I will start to deal with the second reviewer.


2/12/2018

start to improve the geophysics paper

Summary:

I marked all comments in four colors.
I started to deal with them one by one.
I will discuss with you about them if I have problems.

Tomorrow: I will continue to improve the paper.

finish the NMR paper

Today, I finished the NMR paper.

Summary:

1. I read materials of feature selection. There should be no problem of my method to evaluate the importance of inputs in the ANN model.
2. There are many models to rank the importance or select a subset of input data. However, they are all targeted for specific models. For example, SVM-RFE is for SVM model. Relief-F is for regression model. As a result, ranking importance using these models will not show the actual importance in the ANN model.
3. So I recommend to rank importance in the ANN model by using the original method.


Next week, I may start for the geophysics paper.

change the wrong figure

Today, I changed the wrong figure.

Summary:

The day before yesterday, I plotted the importance result. But there are two problems.
1. I deleted inputs one by one without using 0 to replace them.
2. The accuracy drop was not divided by original accuracy.
I fixed them and plot the following figure, which should be no problem.


Tomorrow, I will continue to look for methods to rank importance and give you the final version of the paper.

rank importance of inputs

Today, I used other ways to rank importance of inputs.

Summary:

Feature selection is one method to decrease dimension of inputs while keeping as many information of inputs as possible. It select a subset of input for model construction. As a result, it is not for ranking importance of inputs.

I found another algorithm for ranking importance, which is called ReliefF.
The following is the result:
The ranking is different from what is calculated by deleting inputs one by one. As searched online, most people analyze importance by deleting inputs one by one. So I think that the original method is more trustworthy than the ReliefF algorithm.

Tomorrow, we can discuss about the result and I plan to go on the next task, which is find clustering method for sonic log prediction model.

finish accuracy drop analysis

Today, I finished accuracy drop analysis.

Summary:

The following is the result.

Tomorrow, I will try to use other ways to rank the importance of inputs.

2/05/2018

coding for ranking inputs

Today, I coded for ranking inputs.

Summary:

I have not finished it yet. I will try to finish it tomorrow.
But my concern is that: since I have 27 inputs, deleting any one of them will not see apparent accuracy drop. So the ranking may not be feasible.

Tomorrow, I will try to run and see the results.

2/01/2018

evaluation of GMM application in accuracy analysis

Today, I did evaluation of GMM application in accuracy analysis.

Summary:

I have not coded for the whole process, so I did not know whether it will work. But we can have a try if you want.

Tomorrow: I will continue to read some materials about GMM.
