The Country Mouse and the City Mouse and Other Stories
No full textThis is, I believe, a reproduction of the Platt and Munk original I have dated to 1939? It is in good condition. This reprint seems to have paper of a different quality. As I write there, this is a selection of three fables (TMCM, DS, and The Rooster and the Fox) presented in The Road in Storyland (1932). Good runs of the lovely colored illustrations; several of the illustrations are rendered only in black-and-white. One illustration is added for The Rooster and the Fox.Watty Piper N

Using Platt\u27s scaling for calibration after undersampling -- limitations and how to address them
No full textWhen modelling data where the response is dichotomous and highly imbalanced, response-based sampling where a subset of the majority class is retained (i.e., undersampling) is often used to create more balanced training datasets prior to modelling. However, the models fit to this undersampled data, which we refer to as base models, generate predictions that are severely biased. There are several calibration methods that can be used to combat this bias, one of which is Platt\u27s scaling. Here, a logistic regression model is used to model the relationship between the base model\u27s original predictions and the response. Despite its popularity for calibrating models after undersampling, Platt\u27s scaling was not designed for this purpose. Our work presents what we believe is the first detailed study focused on the validity of using Platt\u27s scaling to calibrate models after undersampling. We show analytically, as well as via a simulation study and a case study, that Platt\u27s scaling should not be used for calibration after undersampling without critical thought. If Platt\u27s scaling would have been able to successfully calibrate the base model had it been trained on the entire dataset (i.e., without undersampling), then Platt\u27s scaling might be appropriate for calibration after undersampling. If this is not the case, we recommend a modified version of Platt\u27s scaling that fits a logistic generalized additive model to the logit of the base model\u27s predictions, as it is both theoretically motivated and performed well across the settings considered in our study

Beyond these walls ::rethinking crime and punishment in the United States /
No full text"Beyond These Walls is an ambitious and far-ranging exploration that tracks the legacy of crime and imprisonment in the United States, from the historical roots of the American criminal justice system to our modern state of over-incarceration, and offers a bold vision for a new future. Author Tony Platt, a recognized authority in the field of criminal justice, challenges the way we think about how and why millions of people are tracked, arrested, incarcerated, catalogued, and regulated in the United States. Beyond These Walls traces the disturbing history of punishment and social control, revealing how the criminal justice system attempts to enforce and justify inequalities associated with class, race, gender, and sexuality. Prisons and police departments are central to this process, but other institutions - from immigration and welfare to educational and public health agencies - are equally complicit. Platt argues that international and national politics shape perceptions of danger and determine the policies of local criminal justice agencies, while private policing and global corporations are deeply and undemocratically involved in the business of homeland security. Finally, Beyond These Walls demonstrates why efforts to reform criminal justice agencies have often expanded rather than contracted the net of social control. Drawing upon a long tradition of popular resistance, Platt concludes with a strategic vision of what it will take to achieve justice for all in this era of authoritarian disorder." -
