Tips for Starting a Career in Data Science
This is my first upload, and I am a data scientist, not a talking head, so sorry for any lack of quality on the production or communications. But hopefully at least one of these tips will be helpful as you look to begin a career in data science.
Tips reviewed in this video:
1. Become a good data science problem solver
2. Get a breadth of experience and knowledge
3. Study the most useful content
Key areas to study:
Supervised vs Unsupervised Learning
Feature engineering and feature selection (PCA, tree-based, etc.)
Understanding and interpreting accuracy (confusion matrices, p-values, confidence intervals, AUC, etc.)
Data Insights
Forecasting (at least ETS and ARIMA, fbprophet is a great starter package)
Prediction vs causal inference (focus on target variable vs focus on feature variable effects, possibly most crucial and underdeveloped in data scientists today) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKs6msnw9m8
IML (Interpretable machine learning)
Deep Learning, only if you are interested in wide data problems like computer vision or NLP
4. Don’t neglect soft skills
