How Do Super Rookies Start Learning Data Analysis?

FineReport

Data analysis is a type of knowledge discovery that gains insights from data and drives business decisions. Professional data analysts must have a wealth of business knowledge in order to know from the data what has happened and what is about to happen. For super rookies, the first task is to understand what data analysis is.

Variance and significance in large-scale online services

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Unlike experimentation in some other areas, LSOS experiments present a surprising challenge to statisticians — even though we operate in the realm of “big data”, the statistical uncertainty in our experiments can be substantial. We must therefore maintain statistical rigor in quantifying experimental uncertainty.

Performing Non-Compartmental Analysis with Julia and Pumas AI

Domino Data Lab

Domino Lab supports both interactive and batch experimentation with all popular IDEs and notebooks (Jupyter, RStudio, SAS, Zeppelin, etc.). We can group by study arm and calculate various statistics as mean and standard deviation. In this tutorial we will use JupyterLab. We can extract the two in a separate DataFrame.

Changing assignment weights with time-based confounders

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

For example, imagine a fantasy football site is considering displaying advanced player statistics. A ramp-up strategy may mitigate the risk of upsetting the site’s loyal users who perhaps have strong preferences for the current statistics that are shown. One reason to do ramp-up is to mitigate the risk of never before seen arms.

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.
