Estimating the prevalence of rare events — theory and practice

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

But importance sampling in statistics is a variance reduction technique to improve the inference of the rate of rare events, and it seems natural to apply it to our prevalence estimation problem. A machine learning classifier serves this task perfectly. 2] Lawrence Brown, Tony Cai, Anirban DasGupta (2001).

Wiggins advocated that data scientists find problems that impact the business; re-frame the problem as a machine learning (ML) task; execute on the ML task; and communicate the results back to the business in an impactful way. I still believe that data science is the craft of trying to apply machine learning to some real world problem.
