Last edited: August 8, 2025LOOCV is a cross validation method whereby the entire dataset bar one sample is used for training; then, validation is ran on one sample. This is repeated \(N\) times (with a fresh model and a fresh item left out) to get a distribution of one-shot validation results that is an approximately-normal curve centered around the mean validation result from many one-shot samples.
Legacy of McCarthyism

:claim: Mccarthyism was a process that de-politicized America
Since political activities could get you in trouble, prudent folk avoided them
Social conformaty became standard
middle-class Americans became social conformists
Communism serves as a form of balance checking, which Mccathyism lost
With their demise, the nation lost the institutional network that had created a public space where serious alternatives to the status quo could be presented.
Moderate-left was also diminished
Moreover, with the disappearance of a vigorous movement on their left, moderate reform groups were more exposed to right-wing attacks and thus rendered less effective.

Length of Basis Doesn't Depend on Basis
Last edited: August 8, 2025Any two basis of finite-dimensional vector space have the same length.
constituents
- A finite-dimensional vector space \(V\)
- Basis \(B_1\), \(B_2\) be bases in \(V\)
requirements
Given \(B_1\), \(B_2\) are basis in \(V\), we know that they are both linearly independent and spans \(V\). We have that the length of linearly-independent list \(\leq\) length of spanning list.
Let’s take first \(B_1\) as linearly independent and \(B_2\) as spanning:
We have then \(len(B_1) \leq len(B_2)\)
Swapping roles:
We have then \(len(B_2) \leq len(B_1)\)
