Fundamentals of Data Mining

Data Science 101

This data alone does not make any sense unless it’s identified to be related in some pattern. Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). The choice of these metrics depends on the nature of the problem.

Approximating the region under the graph of as a series of trapezoids and calculating the sum of their area (in the case of non-uniformly distributed data points) is given by. Having calculated AUC/AUMC, we can further derive a number of useful metrics like: Total clearance of the drug from plasma. Mean residence time. and many others.

Variance and significance in large-scale online services

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

by AMIR NAJMI Running live experiments on large-scale online services (LSOS) is an important aspect of data science. Because individual observations have so little information, statistical significance remains important to assess. We must therefore maintain statistical rigor in quantifying experimental uncertainty.

LSOS experiments: how I learned to stop worrying and love the variability

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

In this post we explore why some standard statistical techniques to reduce variance are often ineffective in this “data-rich, information-poor” realm. Despite a very large number of experimental units, the experiments conducted by LSOS cannot presume statistical significance of all effects they deem practically significant.
