This is another off-the-beaten-path problem, one that you won't find in textbooks.

I was able to make substantial progress in 1-2 hours of work using Excel alone, thought I haven't found a final solution yet (maybe you will.) My Excel spreadsheet with all computations is accessible ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Ahamed Meeran. For many non-technical individuals in the business world, data modeling can seem like a strange and somewhat terrifying realm.
