Don’t worry if you fail. It’s usually not even possible to measure the variables necessary to answer the question you’re studying. #rstats #pydata #datascience

A preoccupation with which tools are popular is an excellent way to distract yourself from the sad truth that everything is dying and no one will remember anything you say or do. #rstats #pydata #datascience

R is dying, if you don't believe me look at THE main conformal prediction library. When writing my book 'Practical Guide to Applied Conformal Prediction: Learn and apply the best uncertainty frameworks to your industry applications' a.co/d/eteo5Ym I have run a poll asking data scientists and others whether they use Python or R for their work. The results came overwhelmingly in favour of Python, R was less than 20% and mostly academics. The same trend is happening in many areas also in time series and forecasting. I have been using R since 2012 and it is sad, but the trends are clear and irreversible. You can still find R section on Awesome Conformal Prediction but unlike Python section it is not growing as there are hardly any new libraries. Python vs R for time-series forecasting lnkd.in/eEpmJSzf The best bet for this library is to port everything that is still missing in Python into most popular libraries like MAPIE and Amazon Fortuna. #python #datascientists #R

#datascience in a corporate setting is 80% data cleaning.
The other 20% is doing the analysis to convince the C-suite that you were correct when you told them at the start that the question wouldn't be answerable from the data you have. #rstats #pydata

What it means when I have N tabs in my browser open to StackOverflow git questions:
0: I've written no code today
3: I've made the same mistake I make every 3mo but can never remember how to fix
10: Pure, unadulterated panic

I'm starting to think I have what it takes to become a data scientist.

If @JosiahParry ever needs data from me, it shall be provided in the format:

Remember, a forecast based on a model is a just a guess wearing a top hat.

Humans like to tell themselves that the collection of passing moments in their lives converges in distribution to happiness but all we know for sure is that they converge almost surely in death. #datascience #statistics #rstats #pydata

Your periodic reminder that the vast majority of data sets you will be asked to investigate will be boring and uninformative.
So....don't get excited.

In practice, the #DataScience method is to start with the Expert method and then back your way into the Novice method from that. #rstats #pydata xkcd.com/2701
