Multivariate linear regression in excel 2003 - excel-2003

Is this feature in excel 2003? I can't seem to find any kind of data analysis through the menu at all. Perhaps I need to make a chart first?

You need to install the Analysis Toolpak (or activate it if it's already loaded) a to have access to the regression tool.
Here is a pdf that runs you through an example.

On replacing the LJ-Speech dataset with your own

In most github repositories for machine learning based text to speech, the LJ-Speech dataset is being used and optimized for.
Having unsucessfully tried to use my own wave files for it, I am interested in the right approach to prepare your dataset for an optimized framework to likely convert.
With Mozilla TTS, you can have a look at the LJ-Speech script used to prepare the data to have an idea of what is needed for your own dataset:

Tensorflow Object Detection API

I decided to take a dip into ML and with a lot of trial and error was able to create a model using TS' inception.
To take this a step further, I want to use their Object Detection API. But their input preparation instructions, references the use of Pascal VOC 2012 dataset but I want to do the training on my own dataset.
Does this mean I need to setup my datasets to either Pascal VOC or Oxford IIT format? If yes, how do I go about doing this?
If no (my instinct says this is the case), what are the alternatives of using TS object detection with my own datasets?
Side Note: I know that my trained inception model can't be used for localization because its a classifier
Edit:
For those still looking to achieve this, here is how I went about doing it.
The training jobs in the Tensorflow Object Detection API expect to get TF Record files with certain fields populated with groundtruth data.
You can either set up your data in the same format as the Pascal VOC or Oxford-IIIT examples, or you can just directly create the TFRecord files ignoring the XML formats.
In the latter case, the create_pet_tf_record.py or create_pascal_tf_record.py scripts are likely to still be useful as a reference for which fields the API expects to see and what format they should take. Currently we do not provide a tool that creates these TFRecord files generally, so you will have to write your own.
Except TF Object Detection API you may look at OpenCV Haar Cascades. I was starting my object detection way from that point and if provide well prepared data set it works pretty fine.
There are also many articles and tutorials about creating your own cascades, so it`s easy to start.
I was using this blog, it helps me a lot.

Convert .pb file (Tensorflow model file) to human readable format

I am new to tensorflow. I have downloaded and run the image classifier provided on tensorflow website. I can see link that downloads model from web.
I have to read the .pb file in human readable format.
Is this possible? if yes, How?
Thanks!
If you mean the model architecture then I recommend looking at the graph in Tensorboard, the graph visualisation tool provided with Tensorflow. I'm pretty sure that the demo code/tutorial already implements all the code required to import into tensorboard so it should just be a case or running tensorboard and pointing it to the log directory. (This should be defined in the code near the top).
Then run tensorboard --logdir=/path/to/logs/ and click the graphs tab. You will then see the various graphs for the different runs.
Alternatively, there are a couple of papers on inception that describe the model and the theory behind it. One is available here
Hope that helps you understand inception a bit more.

System identification toolbox vs. Econometrics toolbox in time series analysis

I'm doing time series analysis and I want to build an ARIMAX-model for my data. I was just curious if someone could give me any recommendations on whether to use System Ide. or Econometrics toolbox in Matlab? Which one would you prefer for general time series analysis?
jjepsuomi,
You get what you pay for. What you are trying to do is really complicated. I would suggest not trying to reinvent the wheel, but buying software that can handle the complexities of denominator structure on your causals plus outliers like pulses, level shifts, changes in trend and seasonality. I would recommend looking at SAS, Autobox, SPSS. We developed Autobox.
As of MATLAB 2013b, you cannot compile ARMAX() of the System Identification Toolbox into a standalone application. As this was no-go for us we moved to arima() of the Econometrics Toolbox.

How do I create a custom haar classifier?

I am struggling to create a custom haar classifier. I have found a couple tutorials on the web, but they do not specify which version of opencv they are using. What I need is a very concise and simplified example of the steps that are required, along with a simple dataset of images. I also need to know the opencv version and the OS platform so I can get it running. I have tried a matrix of opencv versions on both windows and linux and I have run into memory error after memory error. I would like to start with a known good set of data and simple commands before expanding it to fit my problem.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
OpenCV provides two utility commands createsamples.exe and haartraining.exe, which can generate xml files used by Haar Classifiers. That is, with the xml file outputted from haartraining.exe, you can directly use the face detection sample with your xml file to detect any customized objects.
About the detailed procedures to use the commands, you may consult Page 513-516 in the book "Learning OpenCV", or this tutorial.
About the internal mechanism of how the classifier works, you may consult the paper "Rapid Object Detection using a Boosted Cascade of Simple
Features", which has been cited 5500+ times.
