What the Heck is Data Mining?
Data Mining Generally, data mining (sometimes called data or knowledge discovery) is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information. It is sometimes used synonymously with […]
Become a Data Scientist in 12 Weeks
Here is an actual LinkedIn sponsor ad: “In just 12 weeks, you’ll learn the tools, techniques, and fundamental concepts you need to know to make an impact as a data scientist. During […]
What is Deep Learning?
I am writing a series of blog posts based on a paper from a colleague, Andreas Tolk. Andreas is presenting a paper entitled, “The Next Generation of Modeling & Simulation: Integrating Big […]
Why you might use SAS
I write a good bit of content about using open-source tools for analytics and operations research. However, my workhorse happens to be SAS. Actually, I use SAS Enterprise Guide (EG) and SAS […]
Data Science Jargon – Why your client might not be listening
To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. —Anthony Robbins Words […]
What the heck are “Predictive Models”?
Predictive modeling (#PredictiveAnalytics) does not lie solely in the domain of Big Data Analytics or Data Science. I am sure that there are a few “data scientists” who think they invented predictive […]
Seven Analytics Lessons I’ve Learned (So You Don’t Have To)
Be prepared to Wrangle – When dealing with “big data” (#bigdata), about 2/3 of you project time is spent getting access to the data, getting the right data, preprocessing the data, and […]
A 12 Step Approach to Analytical Modeling
Define the problem – Defining the problem is necessary. Defining the “right” problem is absolutely critical, otherwise you’re just wasting everyone’s time. However, the customers you are working for may not know […]
Predictive Analytics: the skills and tools required
Several weeks ago I posted an article called, What is Predictive Analytics, describing what it is. In the present article, I want to talk about the skills and tools that one should […]
