Applied mathematician wanted – For Sampling, probability and certainty problem.

We are developing a weight management platform, and require assistance to improve one of its algorithms. The purpose of the algorithm is to estimate body-weight each day.

We would like advice on methods to improve accuracy.

Details
--------------------------------------------------

Inputs
- Daily Food / Exercise log – Used to estimate daily body-weight change in preceding days.
- Scales body weight data, samples are taken at varying intervals.

Factors
1. Scales data fluctuates due to hydration changes, so no one reading can be relied upon.
2. Periodicity of scales samples will vary – users will weigh themselves some days and not others.
3. Food and exercise log completeness will also vary, so each day has a data quality score.
4. There are limits to how much humans body-fat can change in a given period.

Qualifications
--------------------------------------------------

- Please provide relevant qualifications, skills and experience in responses.
- Programming experience useful (Preferably C# or Java).
- Flaunt clear English essential – Video meetings over zoom required.
