Hi, osmannica2001:

Your math model sounds good! But not sure when can try your system?

Do hope it's working for lotto.

Looking forward to your great production!

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. But, I disagree in a way. You're correct that predicting random in math may be very complex. However, with lottery, my subjective opinion is that we're playing against nothing else but a game being MANIPULATED by a human being to create a random factor - not RANDOM as whole. For instance, in a 5/36 game, if numbers were really to be random, then you would not find patterns or repeated 3 in 5 numbers every so often. Life itself is not random. Time is not r... [ More ]

I prefer making best guesses which I don't consider predictions. Using math to predict random does not

work IMHO, if it did a lottery game would not last very long. Even when given 50/50 data choices I find

they often do worse than the expected.

NN's rely on mathematically deduced patterns of which there are many but these patterns are a product

of random and the next value is not tied to a games history. If a NN starts hitting it's a sure sign that some

thing is wrong with the RN... [ More ]

just don't expect the best numbers to show in the next game

Isn't that what trying to predict winners is all about

I suggest you work on stocks or sports betting as NN don't work on random. I have built many and tried

just about every prediction method. Sure you can build something that will give you the best numbers to

play based on the history of the game, just don't expect the best numbers to show in the next game or

the one after that or even the game after that. Using a NN to come to a solution looks attractive until the

drawing. At best it might get a couple numbers, just enough to keep you... [ More ]

This is a great topic.. I do believe it may be possible to make accurate predictions on such a game like the pick 3 win 4 (ideally) and take 5 any Mega and powrball is a different beast but it may be possible to conquer.. From my experiences I have come to the conclusion that the lottery results stem from the first day it was ever played on any game.. Now this is something almost out of the universe the correlations from then and now but is possible to create an advantage without even going to d... [ More ]

Have you seen this: Lottery prediction using GA+BF ANN+FL(GeneticAlogrithm+ArtificalNeuralNetwork+FuzzyLogicControl) based on SciPy/NumPy/matplotlib

Hi,

The main reason of this post, is to hopefully find help (from someone) in finishing the algorithm to find patterns in previous lottery draws in order to predict future numbers.

This algorithm is still not complete. But to answer your question, the outlook of the algorithm is to find hidden variables in order to compute predictions with zero error, such using Artificial Intelligence.

In choosing the numbers, I have found that prior numbers drawn prior to the day of game play, provide... [ More ]

You appear to be a mathematically gifted person, but now how does all of this genius relate to the Lottery ??? How do you choose which lottery numbers to play, based on all of your calculations

Just want to show visually the hidden layers that machine learning tries to ascertain in a regular 5 dimensional game. Or pick 5.

As oppose to an easier 3 dimensional matrix

You can do manually.

Adding numerical Gradient checking to the above code. Adding code as I am testing it works for me;

#helper functions for interacting with other classes

def getParams(self):

#get w's unrolled into vector

params = np.concatenate((self.W1.ravel(), self.W2.ravel(), self.W3.ravel(), self.W4.ravel(), self.W5.ravel()))

#params_1 = np.concatenate((self.W3.ravel(), self.W4.ravel(), self.W5.ravel()))

return params#, params_1

def setParams(self, params):

#Set W1 and W2 using... [ More ]

No. Random is simply used to initialize the value of weights in order to run gradient descent. Without random values, it is very complex to choose your own weight values - mathematically speaking, it could take more than the universe has existed to find all possible values for a 3 dimensional vector, for example.

You use random. Are you on qpicks

Adding backprop and the cost function to the above code;

def costFunction(self, X, y):

#compute cost for given x,y, use weights already stored in class

self.yHat = self.forward(X)

J = 0.5*sum((y-self.yHat)**2)

return J

def costFunctionPrime(self, X, y):

#compute derivative with respect to W's for a given x and y

self.yHat = self.forward(X)

delta6 = np.multiply(-(y-self.yHat), self.sigmoidPrime(self.z5))

dJdW5 = np.dot(self.a4.T, delta6)

delta5 = np.... [ More ]

Hi,

As of late I have been learning much about machine learning, basically trying to rehearse how computers learn and possibly use this method to gain an achievement with the lottery!!? lol - Thus far I wanted to present what I currently have figured out in terms of coding using python to predict a vector of 5 dimensions or a pick 5 game. What I have, is very simple - however complex if you're not familiar with programming and machine learning. I thought to share my code and see if there's an... [ More ]
