Nobody Understands Probability
The goal of this post is to give an overview of Bayesian statistics as well as
to correct errors about probability that even mathematically sophisticated
people commonly make. Hopefully by the end of
Least Squares and Fourier Analysis
I ended my last post on a somewhat dire note, claiming that least squares can do
pretty terribly when fitting data. It turns out that things aren't quite as bad
as
Linear Control Theory: Part I
Last time I talked about linear control, I presented a Linear Quadratic
Regulator as a general purpose hammer for solving linear control problems. In
this post I'm going to explain why
The Underwater Cartpole
My last few posts have been rather abstract. I thought I'd use this one to go
into some details about the actual system we're working with.
As I mentioned
Linear Control Theory: Part 0
The purpose of this post is to introduce you to some of the basics of control
theory and to introduce the Linear-Quadratic Regulator
