Maths, Nth derivative of a function, successive differentiation: where do I really need to find nth derivative of a function in programming world?
Can you explain how the nth derivative would come into play in that situation?
Sure. Let's say you have a decision tree model that predicts the probability of a customer churning based on various factors like age, income, and purchase history. If you want to estimate the second or third derivative of the probabilities (i.e. the rate of change of the probabilities), you could use the nth derivative to help you do this.
