Geopub Friends 🍺🎉

Come along this Thursday 13th August to the SA Geopub.

Sasha Krneta from RSC will be showing us how to make sausage without ruining our appetite. A talk about data sounds delicious.

Measurements, Imputations and Predictions - the distinction matters !

As the barriers to entry for coding disappear, machine learning libraries grow and the availability of digital data increases, the number of applications within geosciences is growing rapidly. Some will survive and prove useful. Others will fail data accuracy objectives and be forgotten. The role of geoscientists in this world will increasingly demand an understanding of the distinction between measurement, imputation and prediction. Mistaking one for the other and relying on the answers without knowing their strengths and shortcomings will lead to problems.
