CodinGame is a very nice online platform which offers programming puzzles to solve for fun. During summer 2015, to improve my programming skills in C, Python and Java, I decided to try and solve as much solo puzzles as possible.
This page gathers my solutions, if you want to compare them with yours. I would be very happy to discuss them by email if you want. Keep in mind that there are often many solutions to one problem.
Easy puzzles are perfect if you are new to programming, or learning how to use a new language, as they involve all the basics. You will have to master conditional (if then else) and control flow (for, while) statements, to handle numerical variables, arrays, strings. You will also probably need to use basic algorithms such as linear search and sorts.
More advanced algorithms, graph theory.
Even more complex and advanced algorithms.
These puzzles are supposed to be even harder, but that's debatable.

Notts County to improve scouting network in a bid to identify foreign talent
Magpies chairman Christoffer Reedtz outlined objectives at fans' forum
by Leigh CurtisChristoffer Reedtz hopes to create an “excellent scouting infrastructure” at Notts County that will look to identify talent in Europe as well as England.
The Magpies chairman told supporters at a fans’ forum on Tuesday night that improving talent spotting is one of his medium-term objectives.
Notts have recruited well already this season with the likes of Wes Thomas, who has scored seven goals this season, and defender Ben Turner being two key arrivals.
But answering questions that covered a wide-range of topics, Reedtz, who was accompanied by his brother and director Alexander, hopes to expand their search for players across the globe.
And he hopes that it will lead to success in the future as he hoped to create new memories for the supporters.
“In the more medium terms there are things we want to achieve,” he said.
“One is we want to create an excellent scouting infrastructure to identify the right players not just in England but in other countries as well.
“We want to improve the experience of being a Notts County supporter
“The fans are essential to the club’s existence. We want to work with the supporters, attract more of them, and create the best possible foundation for the future.
“In the long-term we want to take the club as far as we possible can. We want to create new memories for Notts fans and the club.
“We want to achieve new things that have a place in the legendary history in this club.”

Parsing is the operation used to convert a namestring into a pathname.
Except in the case of parsing logical pathname namestrings,
this operation is implementation-dependent, because the format of namestrings is implementation-dependent.
A conforming implementation is free to accommodate other file system features in its pathname representation and provides a parser that can process such specifications in namestrings. Conforming programs must not depend on any such features, since those features will not be portable.


5 Reasons To Sell Summit Midstream Partners
by Freedom in RetirementSummary
- SMLP must focus on boosting revenue, as it declined substantially from Q3 2018.
- The company's financial leverage is sky-high.
- The distribution may not be sustainable.
Since my latest bearish article on Summit Midstream Partners (SMLP) published in the summer, the stock has returned -31.8%, including distributions. Notice that in my previous articles, I used to write the negative return in parentheses, but since it confused several readers, I am changing the notation. Today, the rating stays unchanged at Sell, as investors should be concerned with several aspects from SMLP.
- Revenue and EBITDA continue to decline on a Y/Y basis for the third quarter, the most recently reported quarter.
- SMPL’s operational performance, measured by the modified DuPont ROE methodology, is deteriorating.
- The interest coverage is falling due to declining operating income and rising interest expenses.
- The leverage measured by the Debt/EBITDA ratio is through the roof.
- The distribution may not be sustainable.
Revenue and EBITDA
Since SMLP recently reported Q3 numbers, it is essential to dissect some of the most critical aspects, such as revenue and EBITDA. On the revenue side, the story does not look appealing, as revenue declined by 22% for Q3 2019 on a Y/Y basis. Moreover, revenue for the third quarter is at a five-year low level, despite growing natural gas consumption in the U.S.
Source: YCharts
Source: YCharts
EBITDA has also fallen for the second consecutive time for Q3. However, EBITDA only declined by 11% on a Y/Y basis from $64 million in Q3 2018 to $57 million in Q3 2019. It appears that SMLP contained costs effectively. However, SMLP must focus on boosting revenue soon.
Source: YCharts
Due to the efficient cost management, gross margin expanded from 61.3% in Q3 2018 to 70.1%. Nonetheless, the operating income margin remained unchanged at 31.3%. It seems that SMLP is having a hard time cutting down operating expenses.
Source: YCharts
In brief, the story looks horrible from the revenue and EBITDA perspective. SMLP must expand revenue now.
Operational Performance
SMLP’s operational performance looks horrific at first glance. The DuPont ROE analysis is a tool to measure a company’s operational performance. The ROE itself only measures the efficiency in which the company produces net income per dollar of shareholders’ equity. However, it does not indicate what the drivers for such efficiency are. Hence the usefulness of the DuPont summary. The analysis gives an idea about the company’s tax and interest burden, operating income margin, asset turnover, and equity multiplier.
Applying the DuPont ROE formula straight from the textbook is not possible in all cases. The mechanical approach fails when the company reports one-time events such as discontinued operations, asset sales, and impairments. Therefore, I modified the formula slightly to, what I believe, gives an accurate picture of the ongoing business. Below are the DuPont ROE formula and the modified DuPont ROE formula.
DuPont ROE formula
Modified ROE formula
If you have read my articles recently, you will notice that I changed my methodology. Previously, I used to look at the ROE of one period and compare it to the same period in the previous year. The current method now considers the trailing twelve-month financial data. The income statement and cash flow statement accounts are added, i.e., the interest expense is the amount that the company paid in the previous four quarters. The balance sheet accounts are averages for the past four quarters. The primary advantage of using the previously mentioned methodology is that it removes any seasonality effects. All amounts are in millions unless ratios or otherwise noted.

As of the past two quarters, the return on equity has plummeted, down from 6.3% in Q1 2019 to 4.2% in Q3 2019. It is vital to delve into the drivers to understand if the trend is likely to continue.
Source: YCharts
The first driver is the tax burden. The metric describes the ratio of EBT from continuing operations that the company keeps as net income from continuing operations after paying for taxes. As the coefficient approaches 1.0, it means that the company is paying a small amount of taxes compared to EBT from continuing operations, which is excellent for investors. Over the past six quarters, the tax burden has remained unchanged at 1.0, which confirms SMLP’s pass-through status.
The second driver is the interest burden. The coefficient illustrates the ratio of EBIT from continuing operations that the company keeps as EBT from continuing operations after funding the net interest expense. In this case, the higher is better, with a maximum of 1.0. Here is the first warning sign for SMLP. Over the past six quarters, the metric has declined from 0.6 in Q2 2018 to 0.4 in Q3 2019. Further discussion on the interest payment comes in the following section.
The third driver is the operating income margin, which tells the percentage of revenue that the company transforms into operating income. The higher the metric, the more efficient the company is in containing costs. The operating income has also declined for SMLP. In Q2 2018, the parameter was 30.3%. In Q3 2019, the coefficient dropped to 25.8%. The company must continue reducing operating expenses.
Another driver is the asset turnover. The efficiency ratio measures how many dollars of revenue the company generates per dollar of asset, and higher is better in this case. In SMLP’s case, there is not much to write home about, as the coefficient has remained unchanged at 0.2 over the past six quarters.
The last driver is the equity multiplier, which is a form of financial leverage. The coefficient takes into consideration current and long-term liabilities. A factor above 3.0 raises questions about debt sustainability. When the factor surpasses 5.0, the company is highly overleveraged. In SMLP’s case, the total financial leverage has increased from 2.3 in Q2 2018 to 2.6 in Q3 2019. The metric is not overly concerned by itself. However, it is concerning once investors take into account that the operating income margin is falling.
In brief, SMLP’s operating performance looks horrific. The deteriorating interest burden and operating income margin, coupled with an increase in financial leverage, are bad news for investors.
Long-Term Debt Sustainability
Since the interest burden is falling, it is essential to delve further into the topic. In brief, the story looks bearish. The interest coverage ratio and the debt-to-equity ratios provide hints about the company’s long-term debt sustainability. The former tells if the company can cover the interest expense from operating income. A ratio below 1.5 is dangerous, and a ratio below 1.0 requires immediate attention. The later coefficient describes the company’s leverage level from the long-term debt perspective.
From the ICR perspective, the metric has deteriorated significantly from 2.4 in Q2 2018 to 1.7 in Q3 2019. Not only did the interest expense rose, but the operating income also fell.
From the leverage from the long-term debt perspective, the story looks neutral. The D/E ratio has increased from 0.9 in Q2 2018 to Q3 2019. What is critical to notice is that the long-term debt has increased, and the shareholders’ equity has declined. If the trend continues, the D/E will accelerate upwards since you have a double negative effect.
Source: YCharts
Source: YCharts
Last but not least is the debt/trailing twelve-month EBITDA story, which looks as bearish as it gets. The issue is that the metric is above 5.0, and the risk of SMLP breaching debt covenants is substantial. If SMLP wants to survive, it is imperative that the company boosts revenue somehow, which will increase EBITDA, and decrease the Debt/EBITDA ratio.
Heath Deneke, President and CEO, acknowledged in the Q3 2019 earnings call that the company is not where they need to be regarding leverage and overall balance sheet standpoint. Heath also mentioned a rigorous focus on cost control and capital discipline going forward. Along with a similar note, Heath also indicated that management wants to target a 4.0x leverage. However, he did not provide any timeframe.
Source: YCharts
Distribution Sustainability
The distribution coverage ratios calculated from the net income and cash flow from operations provide color on the distribution sustainability. The former tells if the company can cover the distributions from net income. The later illustrates if the company can cover capital expenses and distributions from the cash flow from operations.
From the net income perspective, the story looks bearish. For the previous four quarters ending in Q3 2019, the company posted a net loss of $4 million. Meanwhile, it distributed $167 million to unitholders. The distribution is not sustainable whatsoever.
From the cash flow from the operations perspective, the story looks as bearish. Over the past six quarters, the company has not generated enough CFO too cover the capital expenses and distributions. In Q3 2019, the DCR was 0.5, after the company posted CFO for $205 million and capital expenses and distributions for $215 million and $167 million, respectively.
Also, at the current stock price, the company is offering a 32% distribution yield. It is not wise to think that the distribution is sustainable.

Source: YCharts
Relative Valuation
It is essential to peek at relative valuation. However, bear in mind that not because a company looks relatively overvalued, you should sell it. Perhaps, the relative over- or undervalued status is justified. One metric that helps to assess the relative valuation is the EV/EBITDA. The primary advantages of using the coefficient are that the company's capital structure is irrelevant, it uses market values, and it is not affected by interest expense or taxes. Another metric that investors commonly use is the P/E ratio. However, the most significant drawback is that the coefficient cannot be used when companies post net losses. Another popular metric is the P/B ratio. However, the primary disadvantage is that companies rarely reflect the real value of the assets in the balance sheets.
From a trailing twelve-month perspective, the story looks slightly bearish. SMLP is somewhat overbought compared to its peers, as the EV/EBITDA ratio is 10.0, compared to a median of 9.1. From a forward-looking basis, the story also looks terrible. Due to the substantial decline in EBITDA, the company seems relatively overvalued. The EV/EBITDA ratio is 13.4, compared to its peers’ median of 10.4. In brief, the stock price will likely continue sliding.
Conclusion
Investing in SMLP must be considered highly speculative. The declining revenue and EBITDA should concern investors. Also, the operating performance has deteriorated in the past two quarters. SMLP’s financial leverage is sky-high, and the distribution does not seem sustainable. Investors should strongly consider avoiding a long position in SMLP.

Gavin Henson slams Johnny McNicholl and Willis Halaholo Wales call-ups
It is an issue that evokes strong opinions
by Matthew SouthcombeWelsh rugby icon Gavin Henson has aired his displeasure at New Zealand-born duo Johnny McNicholl and Willis Halaholo being selected for Wales .
The wing and centre were two of five uncapped players to be named in Wayne Pivac's 35-man squad to face the Barbarians later this month in an uncapped fixture.
McNicholl and Halaholo have both become eligible to play for Wales on residency grounds, having been in the country for three years.
But, in a short tweet, Henson, who played 33 times for Wales, revealed his verdict.
"This is so wrong," he posted on his official Twitter account, accompanied by a screengrab of BBC Wales' story carrying the headline: 'New Wales coach picks McNicholl and Halaholo in first squad'.
The issue of selecting foreign-born players who have become eligible on residency grounds is a polarising one that evokes strong opinions.
In 2017, World Rugby voted to extend the eligibility period from three to five years, which comes into effect at the end of 2020.
The selection of players born in a different country is nothing new and many teams around the world take advantage of the residency rule.
It was a topic discussed on this week's Welsh Rugby Podcast.
"I would like to see a situation whereby if you're Welsh, you play for Wales and if you're Fijian, you play for Fiji, not for New Zealand, Australia or England," said WalesOnline's Andy Howell.
"That being said, the rules are the rules. The eligibility criteria has actually been changed by World Rugby going forward.

"But these boys have already qualified - why not pick them?
"Australia's team is full of overseas players, New Zealand still have some, England have got some. Why not?
"Hadleigh Parkes has been a roaring success for Wales.
"If everyone else is picking overseas players, why not pick them?"
Welsh scrum-half Rhys Webb, who is currently ineligible for Wales under the current selection policy, posted his support for Halaholo and pointed out: "Great to see a lot of new faces in the mix who have been putting their hand up week in week out (at) their regions. Enjoy every minute."

- Parameters:
key (None or callable key(x)) - The key function to be used for determining implicit equivalence,
or None if there is not a key function.
bidirectional (bool) - If true, the Equivalence.partition method takes
linear time to the size of the given object's equivalence set, as opposed
to the size of the whole equivalence relation if bidirectional is false.
The downside is increased memory overhead and extra constant factor cost
for the rest methods.

Am I doing it right? What is the use of trunc
?
Do you get an error?
trunc
is the quotient by the universal relation. So for groups, trunc α
is always a singleton. You can use it e.g. to define an existential quantifier where you can computably use the witness, but still have (propositional) "proof" irrelevance.
Do you get an error?
I don't
/-- `trunc α` is the quotient of `α` by the always-true relation. This is related to the propositional truncation in HoTT, and is similar in effect to `nonempty α`, but unlike `nonempty α`, `trunc α` is data, so the VM representation is the same as `α`, and so this can be used to maintain computability. -/
So trunc { x // x * x != 1 }
is a subsingleton like ∃ x, x * x != 1
but you can use the witness x
to compute other data (as long as it does not depend on the concrete value of x
)

My tripping partner R. and I met up to have a 2ci trip. But at 4:20pm out of complete spontaneity, we decided to take a drop each of this acid i had + the 20mg doses of 2ci.
Note: R. wasn't feeling too good because he had drank a lot the night before and puked. Also we hadn't eaten much at all that day.
An hour later we were walking by a river when R. is experiencing stomach discomfort, nausea etc. He ends up puking and then feels a bit better. Still no sign of tripping.
Its been about 2 hours when I experience extremely noticeable effects of acid. The usual fractal patterns, euphoria, melting, etc. After about 5 hours since launch of good acid tripping in my room, we still haven't felt any of the 2ci, and I had not done it before, while R. had.
We go to my friends to hit some hash bowls. At this point were a little bit past the peak of the acid trip. After taking about 4 big rips... I wait.
Note: this hash is extremely potent and high quality.
Blast off... I am shot straight into hyperspace, looking at the reality of reality itself. It seems that the hash has cooked this stagnant stew of chemicals, 2ci and acid, in my brain and brought them to a boil. I'm experiencing a trip like no other I've experienced. Every bit of sensory input is felt as distinct alien emotions. It was what is described as synthesisia. I was riding a roller coaster of strange feelings, but my perspective was out of this universe looking down on it even though i had 0 control over my feelings.
Visuals became extremely intense, anything my mind thought of was projected visually and emotionally. This new trip did not feel comforting, warm, and euphoric like acid. It was harsh, mechanical, and alien. Light seemed to be divided in a multi-planar spectrum going in through different dimensions revealing pulsating blues, greens, and reds - the primary colors. I felt immediatley like this was the hardest I've ever tripped period.
My perspective was sooo far removed from anyone elses. I had complete psychic connection with everything. The digital mechanical drum beat that was being played was felt as that harsh metal emotion within my body. Everything was similar to this, everything being transmitted into emotion. I saw that these energies were what existed in the reality of someone extremely aware and removed from the perspective of the typical physically aware human perspective. I'm an extremely psychically sensitive person by nature, so the trip was just enhancing these attributes.
Even though I enjoyed the trip, I wanted to come down. I had to force myself to eat because I had no desire to and my body rejected it. I didn't come down for about 5 hours after. I was riding a rollercoaster of emotions while my perspective was like an overview of the universe - in terms of reality/consciousness.
I would compare the intensity of the that 5 hour 2ci blast period to DMT! But obviously much different.

Carousell Merges With Mudah Through A Deal with Telenor
by Chief ChapreeCarousell and Telenor Group today has announced that they have entered into an agreement that will see Carousell being merged with 701Search which is a subsidiary of Telenor. While 701Search name might be well-known in Malaysia, we are pretty sure everyone is generally familiar with its local entity, Mudah.my.
Aside from Mudah, 701Search also owns Cho Tot in Vietnam and OneKyat in Myanmar. The company became a subsidiary of Telenor back in 2017 through a deal with the original owners, Singapore Press Holdings and Schibsted.
Under the new deal which includes 32% stake for Telenor, all three 701Search’s entities have now been absorbed into Carousell. Worry not though, Mudah will continue to exist in Malaysia as Carousell has decided to retain Mudah’s brand and platform for the time being.
According to Telenor, this deal doesn’t require regulatory approval which means that the merge is effective immediately.


" Eyes Wide Shut " * * * *
I must admit to being completely distracted a good ten or twelve minutes into EYES WIDE SHUT, the film that took forever and a day to complete. Thereıs been such a great mystique about it, and so much written and gossiped and hypothesized, for so damn long the film was practically created on the internet that to be seeing the finished product, finally, was something of an event. And, in a word: wow.
The very first image, of Nicole Kidman gradually and teasingly exposing her full figure from the back, is at once voyeuristic, kinky and poignant. Which kind of describes up the picture, as a whole. The couple, Bill (Tom Cruise) and Alice (a vulnerable, esoteric Kidman) prepare casually for a Christmas party in Manhattan; she asks his opinion of her looks, from the toilet seat, and he tells her she is beautiful, "always beautiful", without actually looking. Itıs a nice, efficient set-up, explaining in little time the state of a nine-year marriage. Bill doesnıt have to question or doubt his wifeıs loyalty, nor her beauty; she, and it, have always been there. Over the course of the party, husband and wife go their separate ways, and both are approached by individuals with more on their minds than small talk. Alice, buzzed from champagne, dances with an older man who suggests it would be only natural for her to cheat, because that is to be expected in a marriage. Advice acknowledged, she cordially declines his offer; she doesnıt give in to advances, drunk or otherwise, but she almost seems willing to, nevertheless, in spite of herself. Bill seems readier to stray, arm in arm with two pretty models, but also doesnıt, though for reasons which have nothing to do with faithfulness. Duty calls, instead, with a naked girl upstairs who has had "a bad reaction" to narcotics and booze.
Back home, later, the couple gets stoned she much more than he and have an open, intimate discussion about sexual possibilities and diversions; mostly pertaining to people outside their marriage. As a gorgeous, deep blue emanates from the bathroom (evocative to the mood of the dialogue) against Kidman in her underwear, the conversation quickly becomes heated and defensive. It is here, and in other places, too, that all those reported multiple takes truly pays off. The coupleıs revealing talk sounds raw and genuine and true; it has a valid, middle of the night feel, when youıve been talking for hours and all thatıs left is the heart of the matter. Alice - and this is where Kidman (lovely, and sad) shines recounts a chance encounter from the past, involving herself and a young officer of the Navy. Nothing happened, but it couldıve, and she would have given everything in her life that she knows or holds dear to not have let that moment pass. So, what holds/held her back? The obvious answer would be family and marriage, but watch Kidmanıs face all through her characterıs confession, and you sense itıs something much deeper than that. Much deeper than what Bill accepts as general fact. Alice would not betray him, that one time, but now it seems more likely.
The idea pisses him off; that a single, solitary fleeting glance had the potential to forever alter the course of their relationship is scary. They are conveniently interrupted by a phone call from a patient of Billıs, whose father has just died, and he leaves to console the woman. And, during the remainder of the long late night, he imagines his wife in the arms of another. We see his perception change, his cool demeanor slowly dissolve, with each of the people he will come in to contact with.
Everything, every interaction, appears to revolve around sex. The woman who called is distraught, when Bill meets her, and she channels her grief through sexual desire and a false declaration of love; the scene, on the very bed of the deceased man, is funny and morose. A hooker (an alluring Vanessa Shaw) invites Bill to her place for sex, but the two share nothing more than a soft kiss (and itıs, by the way, one of the best looking close-ups Iıve seen). An old friend from med school (played by Todd Field), who dropped out and is now a pianist working various gigs, tells of a covert meeting place for men and women who wear cloaks and masks and participate in acts like nothing heıs ever seen before. Intrigued, and against his friendıs better advice, Bill picks up a costume to wear to the gathering, at a store run by an odd man, who first rebukes the activities of his underage daughter, but will later extend an indirect proposition to Bill for some of the same.
There is a distinct air of artificiality to the lives of these strangers, this environment, somehow making Aliceıs earlier admission all the more profound; grounded. And, as Billıs own marital devotion is called into question and tested, time and again culminating with the filmıs most controversial sequence, at a strange, ritualistic orgy EYES WIDE SHUT develops into a rather shattering and mature meditation on whether or not we really know our partner ourselves, for that matter and how much.
Speaking of the orgy sequence, I would like toıve seen the unabridged version, because those much-debated 65 seconds, or so, carry the promise of total erotic mischievousness. The point is that Bill is witnessing things he shouldnıt, or would be better off not seeing (like the pedophilia, that has come before), and even one of the masked women at the party seems to know it, though they remain completely anonymous to one another. How fitting is it, then, that this faceless person saves Bill from dire consequences of his unauthorized visit. From himself: what is he doing? Is he at this place because it turns him on to be, or is being there a means of not dealing with newfound jealousy, and confusion? Or, both? He has come to Aliceıs moment in time, and is rescued against his will. Which leads a tender moment between husband and wife, late in the film, when the tables are turned and it is he who confesses to near sexual indiscretion.
The orgy has since been remodeled, adding meticulously placed digital figures, to escape the dreaded NC-17 rating, but I canıt for the life of me see why the filmmakers felt it necessary to do so. The film is head-to-toe thoroughly adult; censoring even a tiny portion doesnıt make sense, besides securing a wider audience. EWS is strictly for the 17 and older age range; Tom Cruise is a huge box office draw: distribute the film in its original, intended form, and people would still go. Even still, I like what was done; the orgy sequence does not seem real, anyway. Itıs a fevered daydream of libidinous imagery and flesh, screwing for the sake of screwing, and feels kind of otherworldly. We get just enough of a view of what is being done, to figure out whatıs going on, and thatıs fine. The censorship - ugly word, but thatıs what it is in no way detracts from the tone EWS has worked so competently to establish by that point.
This is one of the best films of the year, provocative and intelligent. It has been impeccably lit, be it the numerous arrays of bright yellows that accompany the opening Christmas party and within Bill and Aliceıs upscale apartment, or the lush reds and neon greens along the streets Bill roams aimlessly. EYES WIDE SHUT is beautiful to look at. The cast is solid, most notably Vanessa Shaw, and Sydney Pollack as the enigmatic confidant who sets the record straight on a few crucial events for Bill (or, does he?).
But, itıs Kidman, I think, who holds the movie together. Her screen time is nothing compared to that of Cruise, but she plays all of it with nuance and precision. Her pot-induced "millions of years of evolution" monologue is a perfect example of timing and subtlety; Alice is altogether happy and dissatisfied with her life who isnıt and struggling to figure out why. Or, maybe I was struggling to. The performance is a revelation for Kidman, last seen in the awful PRACTICAL MAGIC, and worthy of Oscar consideration.
Some scenes seem a bit out of place, like the skin-bare tryst set to a Chris Isaak song. And, the flirtation between Cruise and the female roommate of a prostitute who has been diagnosed HIV positive. But they, alike all others here, compound what is, for all the waiting and hype, an elegant and mesmeric motion picture.
Best line: "Donıt you want to go where the rainbow ends?"

class: center, middle, inverse, title-slide # What Inferential Statistics Can Utilize from Predictive Models ### Max Kuhn
RStudio PBC
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>@topepos
--- # Goals for different types of models .font120[ **Inferential models** are meant to produce explainable parameters of interested that can be quantified and compared statistically. The end goal is to make conclusions. **Predictive models** are created to produce predictions on new samples that are as close as possible to the actual values. Explainability is nice but secondary; the end goal is to estimate something accurately. ] The latter also goes by titles such as machine learning, AI, or pattern recognition. --- # What we care about .pull-left[ Inferential Models: .font80[ * Dogmatic regarding probabilistic distributions. * Bias towards explainable models (i.e., low-complexity). * Tend to be high bias/low variance models. * Focus on likelihood-based statistics. * Elimination of non-significant model terms. * Many different sub-models if the same type considered.  * Pro-complexity. * Variance and bias levels vary; stereotypically high variance/low bias. * Focus on accuracy-oriented metrics or business metrics (e.g., expected monetary loss). * Feature selection and engineering are important. * Many different types of models considered. * What is this "uncertainty" thing you keep talking about? ] ]
 Both are subject to the [Garden of Forking Paths](http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/research/unpublished/p_hacking.pdf) and p-hacking. --- # How the model is validated in practice .pull-left[ Inferential Models: * Checking assumptions (e.g., residual analysis, EDA) * Goodness of fit tests, overall ANOVA analysis, etc. * [Debatable] Conduct model selection until there are no insignificant predictors. * With- and without-outlier re-analysis. ] .pull-right[ Predictive Models: * Data splitting (training/test sets) * Resampling or validation sets during development, test set at end. * Visualization of predictions/residuals, EDA, detective work. * Empirical assessments based on performance statistics. ] --- # Where this _could_ go wrong IMO inferential statistics has somewhat fetishized statistical significance and disregarded accuracy-based performance metrics. * How many times have you seen percent accuracy been highlighted when reporting logistic regression results? Models with low _R_2 or poor accuracy presented with the same credence as one that performs well. If the _R_2 was 20%, does this mean that 80% of the inferences are questionable? --- # Objective functions Another issue is that statistical significance metrics are likelihood-based. This metric may not reflect how close the predictions are to the true values * Except in ordinary linear regression. Friedman (2001): > "degrading the likelihood by overfitting actually improves misclassification error rate. Although perhaps counterintuitive, this is not a contradiction; likelihood and error rate measure different aspects of fit quality." I'm not arguing that statistical significance be thrown away in favor of accuracy measures. I think that the latter must qualify the former. There should be some proof that the model's results have some degree of fidelity to the data. QQ-plots on residuals aren't enough. --- # What's so great about predictive/ML models? Probably the best thing that ML models have going for them is the focus on empirical validation. This usually involves computing performance on out-of-sample data. * Never naively re-predict the data use to build the model * For the training set, the re-predicted data contain favorable biases. * These biases grow as the model becomes more complex. To paraphrase Fury (2014) "[empirical validation] takes the world as it is, not as we'd like it to be." --- # Resampling The best tool for empirical validation is _resampling_. It iteratively separates the data into two partitions; one is used for modeling and another to measure performance. Without throwing away data, it does the best job of finding performance estimates (of anything) that generalize to the sample population. Examples are cross-validation, the bootstrap, rolling forecast origin resampling, and others. * These mostly differ in how the data are partitioned. The next slide has a general schematic for resampling; however, for inferential models, a test set probably is not needed. --- # Resampling  --- # Example: orthodontic measurement Data are from Potthoff and Roy (1964) and are used by just about everyone: > Investigators at the University of North Carolina Dental School followed the growth of 27 children (16 males, 11 females) from age 8 until age 14. Every two years they measured the distance between the pituitary and the pterygomaxillary fissure, two points that are easily identified on x-ray exposures of the side of the head. We are modeling a subject's distances as a function of the age and gender. (data are in the `nlme` package) --- # The 27 subjects  --- # Modeling Strategy A linear model for `age` with subject-specific slopes and intercepts seems reasonable for these data. We'll fit a Bayesian hierarchical model with: * t(1) priors or regression coefficients, * Gaussian errors with a prior of expo(1) for `\(\sigma\)`, * 8 chains with 2000 iterations/chain. I fit the models using Stan via R. We'll look at models with random slopes, random intercepts, and both as random. Sex will be used as a fixed effect. .code90[ ```r both_param = age * Sex + ( age | Subject) slopes_only = age * Sex + (0 + age | Subject) int_only = age * Sex + ( 1 | Subject) ``` ] --- # Initial assessments of performance .pull-left[ AIC values for each model:

  Random 	  wAIC

 ] .pull-right[ Posterior distributions for `\(\sigma\)`:  ] --- # "In-sample" predictions  These are from re-predicting the same data used to build the model. --- # Resampling For these data, the most natural resampling method is _leave-subject-out cross-validation_. * For 27 iterations, one subject is withheld and the model is fit using the other subjects. * For each subject, RMSE and _R_2 are computed on their predictions. The resampling estimate is the average of the 27 assessment set statistics. Recall that, for multi-level models, a new subject would be predicted using the the posterior mode estimates of the regression parameters. * Since no other subject-specific covariates are in this model, the same predicted values are used for all _new_ subjects being exposed to the model. How do the resampled estimates compare to the posterior distribution? --- # Posterior predictions for new samples  --- # RMSE estimates for random slopes and intercepts  (black is previous posterior, black are resampling results, vertical line is resampling estimate) --- # Out-of-sample predictions  --- # Both sets of predictions (gray = in-sample)  (grey is in-sample model predictions) --- # Which RMSE estimate do we believe? This demonstrates that within-sample statistics may give us optimistic assessments of performance. * Without resampling, each sample's profile is estimated with shrunken slopes and intercepts. * With resampling, the estimates are integrated over subjects. Since subject is a _random effect_, there is the notation that we want our inferences to be generalizable to the population of subjects * As opposed to having inferences that are specific to _these particular_ subjects (i.e. as a _fixed effect_). From this point of view, the poor performance is the more realistic estimate of the model RMSE. If there were subject-specific covariates, this might have turned out better. --- # Model selection results  --- # Comparing models using resampling Since we have _matched_ resampling statistics across models and resamples, these can be used as the _data_ in an ANOVA model. From this model, formal inferences can be made regarding differences in model metrics (e.g. R2, etc). One issue is that there is typically a strong within-resample correlation (usually > 0.5). A hierarchical model can be used to model this variance effect. This idea is based off of the ideas in Hothorn _et al_ (2005), Eugster _et al_ (2006), and Benavoli _et al_ (2017). Software to automate this is in the `tidyposterior` package. --- # A reasonable hierarchical model Having looked at a lot of these types of results, a random intercept model seems most appropriate: `$$y_{ij} = (\beta_0 + b_{i}) + \beta_1x_{i1} + \ldots + \beta_px_{ip} + \epsilon_{ij}$$` where `\(i\)` is over _resamples_, `\(j\)` is over _models_ and the outcome data are the performance statistics. The Central Limit Theorem tends to kick in fairly quickly; normality for `\(\epsilon\)` can often work. In other cases, a transformation for the `\(y_{ij}\)` can stabilize the variance. From this model, posteriors for differences in performance ( `\(\delta_{jj'} = \beta_j - \beta_{j'}\)` ) can be computed and visualized. --- # Posterior distribution for RMSE values .pull-left[  ] .pull-right[ From this analysis, the resample-to-resample variation was 99.9% of the total variance. ] --- # Posterior distribution for RMSE differences .pull-left[  ] .pull-right[ There is a 50% probability that the slope only model is better. The size of the difference, -0.00003961, is not practically important. * This can be quantified better using Regions of Practical Equivalence (ROPE) estimates. These results aren't surprising since the subject-specific slope and intercept estimates are highly correlated. ] --- # Thanks Slides and code are at: [`https://github.com/topepo/2020-CT-ASA`](https://github.com/topepo/2020-CT-ASA) .font70[ References: [Bates, D. _et al_](https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v067i01) "Fitting Linear Mixed-Effects Models Using `lme4`" _Journal of Statistical Software_, 67(1), 1-48 Eugster, M.

With the advent of smartphones and handheld video recording technology, filming sporting events has become increasingly popular. But due to the innate fast nature of sports such as basketball, camera operators struggle with filming fast moving objects accurately and with stability. Bold and Brash is a basketball tracking gimbal that allows any user to interface their smartphone or camera and record while the gimbal accurately tracks the action, so you don’t have to.

Could We Be Any More Excited? Iconic Props Of 'Friends' Including 'Hugsy' To Be Auctioned
Up for the auction is Hugsy, Joey's much-loved stuffed penguin. Monica and Chandler's wedding invitation is also going under the hammer - both items are expected to raise around $1,500.
Los Angeles: Iconic props from the television hit show “Friends” are about to go up for auction with the earnings going towards an LGBTQ+ charity.
Up for the auction is Hugsy, Joey’s much-loved stuffed penguin. Monica and Chandler’s wedding invitation is also going under the hammer – both items are expected to raise around $1,500.
Speaking of Chandler, the wood canoe he was forced to use as makeshift living room furniture is also up for grabs. That could sell for $6,000. Even the turkey head with sunglasses which Monica wore to cheer up Chandler is on offer.
Bidding is set to begin in early December. One can even own a bit of friends porn.
The film made by Phoebe’s twin sister Ursula – Buffay the Vampire Layer – getting auctioned along with Monica’s iconic peephole – one of the last things shown before the curtain came down in 2004. It could go for as much as $50,000.
Brandon Alinger, COO of Prop Store, said: “Prop Store is thrilled to be working with Warner Bros to auction some incredible material from all 10 seasons of ”Friends”. The series gave us so many laughs during its original run and continues to entertain and inspire fans around the world.
“It’s an honor to be able to bring some amazing original pieces to the fans, such as Joey’s original Hugsy doll. We”re also happy to offer detailed studio-edition reproductions, including the Holiday Armadillo costume, Central Perk couch and 10 copies of Monica’s peephole door frame, straight from the Warner Bros props department.”

The United States gets 86% of its energy from fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels were formed hundreds of millions of years ago in the Carboniferous Period. Vegetation such as trees and plants sank to the bottom of bodies of water and made peat (a spongey substance). The peat then got covered with sand and formed sedimentary rock. As thousands of years passed, the rock was compressed. As a result, coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas were formed.
Why are fossil fuels a problem?
"We cannot safely burn even half of global fossil-fuel reserves without dangerously warming the planet for several thousand years."
Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other gases that trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, causing a global increase in climate.
The burning of fossil fuels in the last 150 years has increased Earth's levels of carbon dioxide by 25%.
Thermal pollution in lakes and streams can also result. This can cause the abnormal increase or decrease of species living in these waters.
What can you do to help?
-Reduce your hot water use
-Turn off appliances when you're not using them
-Use fluorescent light bulbs
-Drive less to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere
-Weatherproof your home to reduce heat loss and energy use
-Move your thermostat two degrees down in the winter and two degrees up in the summer to eliminate 2000 lbs of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere per year
-Plant trees and vegetation to increase oxygen levels

Understand the Notary service architecture
読む時間の目安: 15 分On this page, you get an overview of the Notary service architecture.
Brief overview of TUF keys and roles
This document assumes familiarity with The Update Framework, but here is a brief recap of the TUF roles and corresponding key hierarchy:
-
The root key is the root of all trust. It signs the root metadata file, which lists the IDs of the root, targets, snapshot, and timestamp public keys. Clients use these public keys to verify the signatures on all the metadata files in the repository. This key is held by a collection owner, and should be kept offline and safe, more so than any other key.
-
The snapshot key signs the snapshot metadata file, which enumerates the filenames, sizes, and hashes of the root, targets, and delegation metadata files for the collection. This file is used to verify the integrity of the other metadata files. The snapshot key is held by either a collection owner/administrator, or held by the Notary service to facilitate signing by multiple collaborators via delegation roles.
-
The timestamp key signs the timestamp metadata file, which provides freshness guarantees for the collection by having the shortest expiry time of any particular piece of metadata and by specifying the filename, size, and hash of the most recent snapshot for the collection. It is used to verify the integrity of the snapshot file. The timestamp key is held by the Notary service so the timestamp can be automatically re-generated when it is requested from the server, rather than require that a collection owner come online before each timestamp expiry.
-
The targets key signs the targets metadata file, which lists filenames in the collection, and their sizes and respective hashes. This file is used to verify the integrity of some or all of the actual contents of the repository. It is also used to delegate trust to other collaborators via delegation roles. The targets key is held by the collection owner or administrator.
-
Delegation keys sign delegation metadata files, which lists filenames in the collection, and their sizes and respective hashes. These files are used to verify the integrity of some or all of the actual contents of the repository. They are also used to [delegate trust to other collaborators via lower level delegation roles. Delegation keys are held by anyone from the collection owner or administrator to collection collaborators.
Architecture and components
Notary clients pull metadata from one or more (remote) Notary services. Some Notary clients push metadata to one or more Notary services.
A Notary service consists of a Notary server, which stores and updates the signed TUF metadata files for multiple trusted collections in an associated database, and a Notary signer, which stores private keys for and signs metadata for the Notary server. The following diagram illustrates this architecture:
Root, targets, and (sometimes) snapshot metadata are generated and signed by clients, who upload the metadata to the Notary server. The server is responsible for:
- ensuring that any uploaded metadata is valid, signed, and self-consistent
- generating the timestamp (and sometimes snapshot) metadata
- storing and serving to clients the latest valid metadata for any trusted collection
The Notary signer is responsible for:
- storing the private signing keys wrapped and encrypted using Javascript Object Signing and Encryption in a database separate from the Notary server database
- performing signing operations with these keys whenever the Notary server requests
Example client-server-signer interaction
The following diagram illustrates the interactions between the Notary client, server, and signer:
-
Notary server optionally supports authentication from clients using JWT tokens. This requires an authorization server that manages access controls, and a cert bundle from this authorization server containing the public key it uses to sign tokens.
If token authentication is enabled on Notary server, then any connecting client that does not have a token is redirected to the authorization server.
See the docs for Docker Registry v2 authentication for more information.
-
The client logs in to the authorization server via basic auth over HTTPS, obtain a bearer token, and then present the token to Notary server on future requests.
-
When clients uploads new metadata files, Notary server checks them against any previous versions for conflicts, and verifies the signatures, checksums, and validity of the uploaded metadata.
-
Once all the uploaded metadata has been validated, Notary server generates the timestamp (and maybe snapshot) metadata. It sends this generated metadata to the Notary signer to be signed.
-
Notary signer retrieves the necessary encrypted private keys from its database if available, decrypts the keys, and uses them to sign the metadata. If successful, it sends the signatures back to Notary server.
-
Notary server is the source of truth for the state of a trusted collection of data, storing both client-uploaded and server-generated metadata in the TUF database. The generated timestamp and snapshot metadata certify that the metadata files the client uploaded are the most recent for that trusted collection.
Finally, Notary server notifies the client that their upload was successful.
-
The client can now immediately download the latest metadata from the server, using the still-valid bearer token to connect. Notary server only needs to obtain the metadata from the database, since none of the metadata has expired.
In the case that the timestamp has expired, Notary server would go through the entire sequence where it generates a new timestamp, request Notary signer for a signature, stores the newly signed timestamp in the database. It then sends this new timestamp, along with the rest of the stored metadata, to the requesting client.
Threat model
Both the server and the signer are potential attack vectors against all users of the Notary service. Client keys are also a potential attack vector, but not necessarily against all collections at a time. This section discusses how our architecture is designed to deal with compromises.
Notary server compromise
In the event of a Notary server compromise, an attacker would have direct access to the metadata stored in the database as well as access to the credentials used to communicate with Notary signer, and therefore, access to arbitrary signing operations with any key the Signer holds.
-
Denial of Service - An attacker could reject client requests and corrupt or delete metadata from the database, thus preventing clients from the ability to download or upload metadata.
-
Malicious Content - An attacker can create, store, and serve arbitrary metadata content for one or more trusted collections. However, the attacker has no access to any client-side keys, such as root, targets, and potentially the snapshot keys for the existing trusted collections.
A client can only be tricked into downloading and trusting the malicious content for these trusted collections if it has never seen the trusted collections and does not have any form of pinned trust.
If a client has previously interacted with any trusted collection or has its trust pinned to a specific certificate for the collections, the client immediately detects that the content is malicious and doesn’t trust any root, targets, or (maybe) snapshot metadata for these collections.
-
Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match - The attacker can request that the Notary signer sign any arbitrary timestamp (and maybe snapshot) metadata they want. Attackers can launch a freeze attack, and, depending on whether the snapshot key is available, a mix-and-match attack up to the expiration of the targets file.
Clients both with and without pinned trust would be vulnerable to these attacks, so long as the attacker ensures that the version number of their malicious metadata is higher than the version number of the most recent good metadata that any client may have.
Note: the timestamp and snapshot keys cannot be compromised in a server-only compromise, so a key rotation would not be necessary. Once the Server compromise is mitigated, an attacker cannot generate valid timestamp or snapshot metadata and serve them on a malicious mirror, for example.
Notary signer compromise
In the event of a Notary signer compromise, an attacker would have access to all the (timestamp and snapshot) private keys stored in a database. If the keys are stored in an HSM, they would have the ability to sign arbitrary content with, and to delete, the keys in the HSM, but not to exfiltrate the private material.
-
Denial of Service - An attacker could reject all Notary server requests and corrupt or delete keys from the database (or even delete keys from an HSM), and thus prevent Notary servers from signing generated timestamps or snapshots.
-
Key Compromise - If the Notary signer uses a database as its backend, an attacker can exfiltrate all the (timestamp and snapshot) private material. The capabilities of an attacker are the same as of a Notary server compromise in terms of signing arbitrary metadata, with the important detail that in this particular case key rotations are necessary to recover from the attack.
Notary client keys and credentials compromise
The security of keys held and administered by users depends on measures taken by the users. If the Notary Client CLI was used to create them, then they are password protected and the Notary CLI does not provide options to export them in plaintext.
It is up to the user to choose an appropriate password, and to protect their key from offline brute-force attacks.
The severity of the compromise of a trust collection owner/administrator’s decrypted key depends on the type and combination of keys compromised. For example, were the snapshot and targets key both compromised, or just the targets key?
Possible attacks given the credentials compromised:
Decrypted Delegation Key, only
| Keys compromised | Malicious Content | Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match | Denial of Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delegation key | no | no | no |
Decrypted Delegation Key + Notary Service write-capable credentials
| Keys compromised | Malicious Content | Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match | Denial of Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delegation key | limited, maybe* | limited, maybe* | limited, maybe* |
If the Notary Service holds the snapshot key and the attacker has Notary Service write credentials, then they have effective access to the snapshot and timestamp keys because the server generates and signs the snapshot and timestamp for them.
An attacker can add malicious content, remove legitimate content from a collection, and
mix up the targets in a collection, but only within the particular delegation
roles that the key can sign for. Depending on the restrictions on that role,
they may be restricted in what type of content they can modify. They may also
add or remove the capabilities of other delegation keys below it on the key hierarchy
For example, if DelegationKey2
in the above key hierarchy is compromised, the
compromised key could
only modify the capabilities of DelegationKey4
and DelegationKey5
.
Decrypted Delegation Key + Decrypted Snapshot Key, only
| Keys compromised | Malicious Content | Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match | Denial of Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delegation key, Snapshot key | no | no | no |
The attacker does not have access to the timestamp key, which is always held by the Notary Service, and cannot set up a malicious mirror.
Decrypted Delegation Key + Decrypted Snapshot Key + Notary Service write-capable credentials
| Keys compromised | Malicious Content | Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match | Denial of Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delegation key, Snapshot key | limited | limited | limited |
The Notary Service always holds the timestamp key. If the attacker has Notary Service write credentials, then they have effective access to the timestamp key because the server generates and signs the timestamp for them.

add or remove the capabilities of other delegation keys below it on the key hierarchy

If the Notary Service holds the snapshot key and the attacker has Notary Service write credentials, then they have effective access to the snapshot and timestamp keys because the server generates and signs the snapshot and timestamp for them.
An attacker can add any malicious content, remove any legitimate content from a
collection, and mix up the targets in a collection. They may also add or remove
the capabilities of any top level delegation key or role, such as Delegation1
,
Delegation2
, and Delegation3
in the key hierarchy diagram. If they remove
the roles entirely, they break the trust chain to the lower delegation roles,
such as Delegation4
or Delegation5
.
Decrypted Targets Key + Decrypted Snapshot Key, only
| Keys compromised | Malicious Content | Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match | Denial of Service |
|---|---|---|---|

,

, and Delegation3
in the key hierarchy diagram. If they remove
the roles entirely, they’d break the trust chain to the lower delegation roles,
such as Delegation4
or Delegation5
.
Decrypted Root Key + none or any combination of decrypted keys, only
| Keys compromised | Malicious Content | Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match | Denial of Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| All keys | yes | yes | yes |
No other keys are needed, since the attacker can just any rotate or all of them to ones that they generate. With these keys, they can set up a mirror to serve malicious data - any malicious data at all, given that they have access to all the keys.
Decrypted Root Key + none or any combination of decrypted keys + Notary Service write-capable credentials
| Keys compromised | Malicious Content | Rollback, Freeze, Mix and Match | Denial of Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| All keys | yes | yes | yes |
If the Notary Service holds the snapshot key and the attacker has Notary Service write credentials, then they don’t even need to rotate the snapshot and timestamp keys because the server generates and signs the snapshot and timestamp for them.
Mitigations
If a root key compromise is detected, the root key holder should contact whomever runs the notary service to manually reverse any malicious changes to the repository, and immediately rotate the root key. This creates a fork of the repository history, and thus break existing clients who have downloaded any of the malicious changes.
If a targets key compromise is detected, the root key holder must rotate the compromised key and push a clean set of targets using the new key.
If a delegations key compromise is detected, a higher level key holder must rotate the compromised key, and push a clean set of targets using the new key.
If a Notary Service credential compromise is detected, the credentials should be changed immediately.


RANSOM A film review by David Wilcock Copyright 1997 David Wilcock
STARRING MEL GIBSON, RENE RUSSO AND GARY SINESE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD TOUCHSTONE PICTURES RELEASE
Ron Howard teams up with Mel Gibson in what should be a fun packed, action thriller. However, there is one word that really describes what this film is like. And that word is 'Average'
This has to be one of the most 'ok' films I have ever seen. The plot is about Mel Gibson trying to get his son back after he is kidnapped by a group headed by a policeman (Sinese). However, halfway through the film, instead of Gibson paying the ransom, he decides to make it a 'reward' to the first person who brings the kidnapper to him, dead or alive.
Rene Russos part, as Gibsons wife, is underwritten, and hardly does anything in this movie at all. However, the best role in the movie has to Sinese. He has a real evil quality about him, and makes a very good bad guy
Another major problem with the film is that it is terribly overlong. The film goes on for 1/2 hour longer than it should. You're glad when it finally ends, which is a bad sign for a thriller.
Overall, I was disappointed with this film. It's like Ron Howard had nothing better to do, and made this to make some quick money. With a bit more development, this could of been one of the best thrillers of the year. However, it turns out to be merely average.

Instagram Tests Hiding Like Counts Globally
Instagram, which has been running a test to hide like counts on posts in seven different countries, announced today that it is expanding the test globally, introducing it to the US as soon as this week.
The accounts included in the test won’t be able to see like counts on other peoples’ posts, but will be able to see them on their posts, the Instagram announcement reads.
The move is aimed to de-incentivize Instagram users from making posts only for the sake of gathering the most likes. Instagram noted that it is “actively” considering other ways creators can “communicate value to their partners.”
Instagram’s parent company Facebook is also running a test of hiding like counts in Australia. The test will hide the number of likes on a post, only displaying that a post was liked by “[a friend] and others,” instead of displaying the actual number to the public.

| Key | Value | Description |
| isServer | False | True, iff I (the fuzzer) am a server, and the peer is a client. |
| closedByMe | True | True, iff I have initiated closing handshake (that is, did send close first). |
| failedByMe | False | True, iff I have failed the WS connection (i.e. due to protocol error). Failing can be either by initiating closing handshake or brutal drop TCP. |
| droppedByMe | False | True, iff I dropped the TCP connection. |
| wasClean | True | True, iff full WebSockets closing handshake was performed (close frame sent and received) _and_ the server dropped the TCP (which is its responsibility). |
| wasNotCleanReason | None | When wasClean == False, the reason what happened. |
| wasServerConnectionDropTimeout | False | When we are a client, and we expected the server to drop the TCP, but that didn't happen in time, this gets True. |
| wasOpenHandshakeTimeout | False | When performing the opening handshake, but the peer did not finish in time, this gets True. |
| wasCloseHandshakeTimeout | False | When we initiated a closing handshake, but the peer did not respond in time, this gets True. |
| localCloseCode | 1000 | The close code I sent in close frame (if any). |
| localCloseReason | None | The close reason I sent in close frame (if any). |
| remoteCloseCode | 1000 | The close code the peer sent me in close frame (if any). |
| remoteCloseReason | None | The close reason the peer sent me in close frame (if any). |
