Measuring Correlation

If we want to know a correlation between a boxer winning a match and using red pants, we can mathematically determine it based on past records of those conditions. There are four possible combinations of the conditions.

The boxer loses and he doesn’t use red pants (00)
The boxer loses and he uses red pants (01)
The boxer wins and he doesn’t use red pants (10)
The boxer wins and he uses red pants (11)

For example, we have the following past records.

Condition “00” is 23 times
Condition “01” is 10 times
Condition “10” is 45 times
Condition “11” is 9 times

Then, we can use the phi coefficient formula. The result of this formula is between -1 and 1. If the result is close to 0, it means the conditions have no correlation. If it is close to 1, it means the conditions are strongly correlated. Meanwhile, if it is negative, the correlation is strong but in the opposite way. The formula is as follows.

phi = (n11 x n00) – (n01 x n10) / sqrt(n1X x n0X x nX1 x nX0)

n1X represents the condition where the boxer wins, regardless of the color of his pants. While nX1 represents the condition where the red pants are used, regardless result of the match.

phi = (9 x 23) – (45 x 10) / sqrt( 54 x 33 x 19 x 68 )

phi = -243 / 1517

phi = -0.16

It shows that winning a match and the red pants have no correlation. What if there are more other conditions that may have a correlation to a win. For example, on a winning day, sometimes he drinks coffee before the match, talks to his girlfriend, or plays with his buddies. We can perform the formula separately for each condition and the main condition which is winning a match. For example, the result is as follows.

phi coffee = 0.8
phi girlfriend = -0.7
phi buddies = 0.05

It shows that drinking coffee has a strong correlation. Meanwhile talking to a girlfriend has negative value therefore the assumed condition should become “not talking to girlfriend”. We can also perform an additional phase which is combining the two potential conditions into a single condition so that it becomes “drinking coffee and not talking to girlfriend”. Then, we need to tally again all records where the boxer wins or loses while he both drinks coffee and doesn’t talk to his girlfriend or not.

Rangkaian Sensor Infrared dengan Photo Dioda

Keunggulan photodioda dibandingkan LDR adalah photodioda lebih tidak rentan terhadap noise karena hanya menerima sinar infrared, sedangkan LDR menerima seluruh cahaya yang ada termasuk infrared. Rangkaian yang akan kita gunakan adalah seperti gambar di bawah ini. Pada saat intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode besar maka tahanan Photodiode menjadi kecil, sedangkan jika intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode kecil maka tahanan yang dimiliki photodiode besar. Jika tahanan photodiode kecil maka tegangan V- akan kecil . Misal tahanan photodiode mengecil menjadi 10kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 10 / (10+10) x Vcc V- = (1/2) x 5 Volt V- = 2.5 Volt Sedangkan jika tahanan photodiode besar maka tegangan V- akan besar (mendekati nilai Vcc). Misal tahanan photodiode menjadi 150kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 150 / (150+10) x Vcc V- = (150/160) x 5

Configuring Swap Memory on Ubuntu Using Ansible

If we maintain a Linux machine with a low memory capacity while we are required to run an application with high memory consumption, enabling swap memory is an option. Ansible can be utilized as a helper tool to automate the creation of swap memory. A swap file can be allocated in the available storage of the machine. The swap file then can be assigned as a swap memory. Firstly, we should prepare the inventory file. The following snippet is an example, you must provide your own configuration. [server] 192.168.1.2 [server:vars] ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa Secondly, we need to prepare the task file that contains not only the tasks but also some variables and connection information. For instance, we set /swapfile as the name of our swap file. We also set the swap memory size to 2GB and the swappiness level to 60. - hosts: server become: true vars: swap_vars: size: 2G swappiness: 60 For simplicity, we only check the exi

Beautiful Rain (JDorama)

Saya selalu tertarik dengan film-film inspirasional, baik movie atau pun serial drama. Akhir-akhir ini saya tertarik untuk menonton drama serial jepang. Saya googling dengan keyword "inspirational japan dorama" kemudian saya dapati sejumlah review beberapa film bagus dari sejumlah netizen. Salah satu yang kemudian saya tonton adalah Beautiful Rain . Setiap episode film ini selalu membuat saya sangat terharu sampai meneteskan air mata. :' Yah, ini mungkin saja karena saya yang terlalu melankolis. Hahaha. Ini sedikit review dari saya tentang film ini.

Resize VirtualBox LVM Storage

VirtualBox is a free solution to host virtual machines on your computer. It provides configuration options for many components on our machine such as memory, storage, networking, etc. It also allows us to resize our machine storage after its operating system is installed. LVM is a volume manager in a Linux platform that helps us to allocate partitions in the system and configure the storage size that will be utilized for a specific volume group. There are some points to be noticed when we work with LVM on VirtualBox to resize our storage. These are some steps that need to be performed. 1. Stop your machine before resizing the storage. 2. Set new storage size using GUI by selecting " File > Virtual Media Manager > Properties " then find the desired virtual hard disk name that will be resized. OR , by running a CLI program located in " Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe ". cd "/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox" ./VBoxManage.exe list

API Gateway Using KrakenD

The increasing demands of users for high-quality web services create the need to integrate various technologies into our application. This will cause the code base to grow larger, making maintenance more difficult over time. A microservices approach offers a solution, where the application is built by combining multiple smaller services, each with a distinct function. For example, one service handles authentication, another manages business functions, another maintains file uploads, and so on. These services communicate and integrate through a common channel. On the client side, users don't need to understand how the application is built or how it functions internally. They simply send a request to a single endpoint, and processes like authentication, caching, or database querying happen seamlessly. This is where an API gateway is effective. It handles user requests and directs them to the appropriate handler. There are several tools available for building an API gateway, su

How To Use Protocol Buffer in Javascript

We have understood a few advantages of protocol buffer like what I've explained in my other post . Now, let's look at how we can implement it in our code. The "transpiler" tool, named protoc , supports the generation of a helper class for managing the object instance in a variety of programming languages. In this post, we use Javascript as an example and run in a Linux environment. Preparation Before we develop our code, we should install protoc for generating the helper class. Download protoc binary from the release page . Extract the content and store the directories ( bin and includes ) in /usr/local directory so that the executable binary can be accessed directly. Run protoc --help to check its manual. Install a required dependency globally to enable protoc to generate the Javascript files by running: npm i -g protoc-gen-js . Create a proto file First, we should create an empty directory
