About TheHiddenMarkov's channel

Asperger's / Mild Autistic reaching out through a comfortable media. I enjoy interacting with people through email. Please accept my apologies if I say something very inappropriate / blunt / or unkind. My filters are faulty.

I use an Apple MacPro 8 core computer (Two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeons), 32GB ram, 2x1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, 4x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB

Computer for my models & gaming. It was a gift / grant as a congratulations for my graduation. I started college at 13 but was doing PHD level math within a year & completed my undergrad & PHD in parallel.

I cannot pass English literature. Can't be bothered. Eventually that was waived (along with a few other meaningless / worthless classes).

I suffer from Asperger's / Mild Autism. Youtube was suggested to me as a means of interacting with people without the crushing proximity. I completed my PHD in mathematics this year. My hobby is applying markov models to scientific studies. Particularly of Autism and Autism related disorders. It is an unusual application. My goal is to determine which studies are based on legitimate observation / experimentation, and which are based on mere probability / association (Viterbi & Baum--Welch algorithms). It is my hope to be able to mathematically distinguish genuine studies from those based on dishonestly skewed or fabricated data.

This is NOT to say the conclusions of such studies are incorrect, but to identify studies that merit greater peer review.

Interestingly, my first project was the Wakefield MMR study. I had calculated an 90.192% probability the data was fraudulent based on hidden markov models alone.

I am now examining studies relating to HIV theory. This is a much greater challenge because it involves many studies, and they have many problems. I am having a hard time filtering opinion from data. I am hoping that by learning to better communicate with people in the community, I can better filter opinion from data.

Have a great day (I wouldn't say that either in real life. Trying to learn to be sociable. It is a strain).
