The list below is a (non-comprehensive) selection of what I believe should be taught first, in data science classes, based on 30 years of business experience. This is a follow up to my article Why logistic regression should be taught last.
I am not sure whether these topics below are even discussed in data camps or college…

It is hard to imagine that some data element could contain less information than a bit (a digit equal to either 0 or 1.) Yet examples are abundant. Indeed, I am wondering if we should create a unit of information called microbit, or nanobit.
The first examples that come to my mind are some irrational numbers such as Pi: it's digits are widely believed to be indistinguishable from pure noise, thus carrying essentially no information. While there is not enough data storage in the…

I recently read a very popular article entitled 5 Reasons “Logistic Regression” should be the first thing you learn when becoming a Data Scientist. Here I provide my opinion on why this should no be the case.
It is nice to have logistic regression on your resume, as many jobs request it, especially in some fields such as biostatistics. And if you learned the details during your college classes, good for you. However, for a beginner, this is not the first thing you should…

After all, the term Machine Learning was coined based on the way the human (or animal) brain learns, meaning that somehow, machines could also benefit from a similar kind of learning.
But human beings, successful ones for sure, know how to un-learn. In my case, while I was always fascinated by mathematics since my very early years, the school system's training (as in training an algorithm in ML) failed on me. It failed not because I did not succeed at school (I…

Did you know that Python’s usage in data science applications rose 51% in 2015? Did you know that youtube is heavily built on Python language consisting of over a million lines of code? Tech visionaries are predicting that it might soon overtake R and may well be the most popular language in data science industry. R is a language dedicated to statistics and data…

These articles are between 3 and 5 year old, but are still valuable today. The methodology used in these articles is modern, and still state-of-the-art today. Some discuss immense data sets still available to the public, and that resulted in designing new machine learning techniques to handle them.
I am in the process of organizing these articles (written by myself) to eventually self-publish data science tutorials, in a few separate booklets, that are easy to understand for the…

In this article, we show that the issue with polynomial regression is not over-fitting, but numerical precision. Even if done right, numerical precision still remains an insurmountable challenge. We focus here on step-wise polynomial regression, which is supposed to be more stable than the traditional model. In step-wise regression, we estimate one coefficient at a time, using the classic least square technique. …
