Modeling dataframes in Haskell using higher-kinded types

This post is an exploration of the type-level shenanigans that can be used to model dataframes in Haskell. I also show how to combine higher-kinded types with Haskell's automatic derivation mechanism

Filtering noise with discrete wavelet transforms

Data is often noisy, containing a meaningful signal component as well as undesired perturbations. Many filtering techniques can be used to filter away noise. In this post, we'll see how to use discrete wavelet transforms to de-noise data.
