Towards optimal experimentation in online systems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. In isolation, the $x_1$-system is optimal: changing $x_1$ and leaving the $x_2$ at 0 will decrease system performance.

Create High-Impact Data Visualizations: Nine Effective Strategies

Occam's Razor

In service of that belief, there are few things that bring me as much joy as visualizing data (smart segmentation comes close). While I am partial to the simplest of visualizations in a business data context, I love a simple Bar Chart just as much as a Chord or Fisher-Yates Shuffle. 6: Turbocharging Data Visuals with Storytelling.

5 key areas for tech leaders to watch in 2020

O'Reilly on Data

Up until 2017, the ML+AI topic had been amongst the fastest growing topics on the platform. After several years of steady climbing—and after outstripping Java in 2017—Python-related interactions now comprise almost 10% of all usage. Not necessarily: Java-related searches increased by 5% between 2017 and 2018. Coincidence?

Fitting Bayesian structural time series with the bsts R package

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

SCOTT Time series data are everywhere, but time series modeling is a fairly specialized area within statistics and data science. They may contain parameters in the statistical sense, but often they simply contain strategically placed 0's and 1's indicating which bits of $alpha_t$ are relevant for a particular computation. by STEVEN L.

There is a robust set of tools for working with these kinds of constrained optimization problems. Pfeifer, J.
