iOS App Start-up: avoiding shut-down by watchdog if app launch is slow
If an app launches too slowly then the iOS watchdog process will shut it down. For example, trying to start up Core Data on the main thread can cause this. But what if there’s nothing useful the app can do until the start-up process is completed and Core Data is available? -
Logistic regression: a simple explanation and worked example
Logistic regression is a technique for creating a model of the relationship between one or more input (“independent”) variables, and an output (“dependent”) variable which is categorical. Categorical means that the dependent variable can not take just any value, it can only take certain values. -
