Presume we have millions getting hospitalized in seconds and many give up their lives because of ignorance.

Can DATA SCIENCE be used to wade off this IGNORANCE completely?

In the era when we have genome project ongoing I believe having all information's handy being so surplus "coming under the purview of Big Data" can we use data science to help PREDICT who next to be hospitalized well ahead of time rather than waiting for the symptoms to popup and we take some…

Did you have a good, relaxing break over the summer? Are you refreshed and re-energised, looking forward to a new start, a new you and brushing up on your data analysis skills? If so, I’ve thrown together a collection of a few excellent (and free!) statistics eBooks for your Kindle to sharpen up your stats while you’re on the long commute to work. Just try not to read them while driving!

These books require different levels of existing knowledge, and while some are for…

NoSQL also know as not only SQL (structured query language) is a tool used for data design and management of large quantity of distributed data. NoSQL database comprise a wide range of architecture and technologies designed to overcome problems of scalability and big data performance problems. NoSQL is very useful when organizations have to deal with large amount of unstructured and semi-structured data or remotely stored data or information on virtual servers. Some NoSQL implementations…

Well in my perspective i have notion that since earth evolved say for simplicity since man evolved we had data scientist.say with enumerable foods either consumable non consumable around us we have messed up our lives giving up lives and then filtered out what is best for human.With no information of what is good and bad we evolved a methodology to identify which was good for mankind and which was not. isnt GREAT .our ancestors were the best DATA SCIENTIST to help us survive in this…

Project of DeDaL was born in 2014 (or long before) in a context of cancer research in the lab of Computational Systems Biology of Cancer in Institut Curie in Paris in the mind of my research advisor Andrei Zinovyev.

The idea was to develop a tool that would combine multidimensional meta data associated with network and network itself in a form of an intelligent layout. We achieved…

There's plenty of disagreement about the value of economics research. Skeptics say that economists have predicted eight of the last five recessions, or zero of them. Economists and their fans point to supposed economic achievements such as stable, low inflation and (often) steady growth. In this blog post I'll use simple data science techniques to attempt to measure progress in economics research.

There are many potential ways to measure progress in research. For example,…

The different tasks that data scientists may hold are very diverse, but no matter what niche a data scientist fills in their line of work, being specialized in certain technical areas of software development is extremely important. The following skills are some of the most important techniques that a data scientist will need to have in order to perform software development properly.



Statistics knowledge



Before anything else, a data…

In this day and age, you can’t go a day without hearing terms such as “data science,” “big data,” or “analytics.” These terms have been thrown around to apply to so many situations that the original meaning of these words is lost.

So, what does it take for any organization to be successfully data-driven? Although analytics may seem complicated, the solution comes from simplicity.

I believe it comes down to four things, as I’ve illustrated below: business need, clean data…

Open source software solutions have become so powerful and large corporates started to prepare their traditional business analysts to move to open source softwares, particularly R. I have prepared a basic document to train some of my clients and local communities in Dallas. This article is not intended for people who are exposed to R before; but, people who are new and want to learn ABCs of R.
