<p>What is our stance on questions “Where can I find an implementation of statistical algorithm X from scratch so that I can learn it”?  Are they on-topic or off-topic?</p>
<hr />
<p>Examples:</p>
<p>Can anyone give me a simple SVM implementation in python?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I am learning SVM classification. But I'm unable to understand how to implement SVM classification. It would be really helpful if anyone could give an very easy example of an SVM implementation in python.</p>

<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/261728/12359">Implementation of CNN</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I am new to the field of vision. To get a good understanding of the concepts, I wanted to look at source code of some CNN.</p>
<p>Can anybody suggest some place where I can find implementation of simple CNN like LeNet 5(preferred as I'm following it's tutorial) from starch in Matlab or python not using any library like tensorflow</p>
