Interested in survival analysis but not sure it applies to your work? Here's the article for you. Short version: do you need to make decisions before seeing all the data? If yes, try survival analysis. crosstab.io/articles/survi…

Why don't data scientists use survival analysis more often to understand and optimize how their businesses work? Maybe in part because survival and hazard curves are kinda tricky to estimate with SQL. Here's how to do it. crosstab.io/articles/sql-s…

I wrote a blog post about how to build at data team in the form of a story (and it ended up being about 4x longer than I anticipated): erikbern.com/2021/07/07/the…

Another nuts and bolts piece on The Crosstab Kite: How to draw survival curves in Python with Altair and Plotly. Lifelines and Convoys provide good Matplotlib-based convience functions, but they hide all the good stuff! crosstab.io/articles/survi…

"I think problem formulation is even more important than either data or models." @reddup argues that data scientists should consider business goal-framing a core, crucial skill. buff.ly/3zG4KB8

What do pay stubs, invoices, and Covid vaccination cards have in common? They're all forms, they're all valuable sources of data, and they're all hard to work with programmatically. Form Parser is Google's answer, here's our review and how-to guide. crosstab.io/articles/googl…

Excited to announce a new large-scale data set for research into household energy usage. Lots of applications in studying how people use energy at home, using ML to give predictions and advice, etc... Congrats to the IDEAL team!
Martin Pullinger@DrMPullinger

Our IDEAL Household Energy Dataset now open access for energy research: electricity, gas, boiler & room temp. data, occupant surveys + weather. 255 homes (+ appliance usage for 35). Data: doi.org/10.7488/ds/2836. @ScientificData paper: https​://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-021-00921-y.

Our last article used Python to create duration tables from event logs, for survival modeling. Thing is, event logs are usually stored in databases we query with SQL, so in this post we do the same event-log-to-duration-table conversion with SQL. crosstab.io/articles/event…

We asked our speakers what they're excited about for the future. @CrosstabKite's, @reddup said: "From a methodological level, one thing I am excited about is causal #MachineLearning and causal thinking." #AnacondaCON

Time-to-conversion is the most natural way to model many applied data science problems, but creating conversion tables from raw data can be tricky. We show how to do it with event logs, using web browser activity as an example. crosstab.io/articles/event…

Tabular Data: Deep Learning is Not All You Need. Nice comparison betw XGBoost & recent DNNs for tabular data. Surprise?! XGboost comes out on top for most datasets (esp. those not incl in the DNN papers). What's even better? An ensemble of XGBoost & DNNs arxiv.org/abs/2106.03253
