If you scour the internet for "ANOVA vs Regression", you might be confused by the results. Are they the same? Or aren't they? The answer is that they can be the same procedure, if you set them up to be that way. But there are differences between the two methods. This one picture sums up those differences.References…See More

Math vs. Statistics in One Picture

Math and statistics are vital components of any data scientist's tool box. While some view statistics as a type of math, the reality is that they are completely different subjects. Math is all about numbers and concrete answers, while statistics is making sense of numbers via educated "guesses." This one picture, based on Rossman et al's essay Some Key Comparisons between…See More

Misleading Graphs Part 2: Ladders, Spaghetti, and Other Ways to Ruin a Graph

If you've spent any time with modeling data, you'll know that there are many pitfalls to be had when it comes to data presentation (I addressed some common pitfalls in Misleading Graphs Part 1). Misleading graphs can be the result of incorrect data collection, ignorance of the basic "rules" of data presentation (like labeling axes), or even deliberate attempts to mislead. A fourth…See More

"I completely agree, I'm trained in international political economy (the School of Arts and Sciences). I have had a lot of jobs that were heavily centered on econometrics, as they involved forecasting prices, hedging, finding cost optimizations…"

carlo fanara commented on Stephanie Glen's blog post You're a Data Artist, not a Data Scientist
"Long story short: the attribute 'scientist', singles out the data scientist from the highly populated category of data practitioners (among which, on occasions you might also find artists). So I claim, you should be a scientist first - by…"

You're a Data Artist, not a Data Scientist

"Data Scientist" is 2020's equivalent of the rocket scientist of the 1950's: mysterious, sexy, and well-paid. But are you actually a "scientist"? While “data science” isn't fully defined yet as an academic subject (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018), more and more evidence seems to point to it being more of an art, rather than a science. Are…See More

Your article is so relevant Stephanie, as I am 48 and contemplating an online masters in Data Science.  My answer has been to do as much as I can through MOOCs, self-driven projects, and other less-expensive learning.  If it gets to the point that I have done all of that and proven to myself that I can do Data Science, and that I need a degree to get land a job, I will then do it.   Reality is you do need to be more careful and more risk-averse as you age, as the time to recover from mistakes is just not there anymore.
