Feed: The Information Lab. Author: Ravi Mistry. 23 April, 2018 | Ravi Mistry Consultant’s Diary – Filter Customisation I’m going to try and share some of the techniques and methods I use as a consultant. Using Tableau & Alteryx daily means that I’ve found I take small techniques, tips & tricks for granted. Hopefully this will be useful for you all. One of the things I love about Tableau is that I never stop learning new things. Recently, I was supporting my colleague Luke Stoughton teach Tableau to a group of university students – and I learned something about filters ... Read More

Feed: Latest imported feed items on Analytics Matters. Leaders lead, and innovation never stops – especially when one is setting the standard for others in the industry to follow. I’m talking about Teradata helping companies in their path to the cloud for analytics, of course, and I’d like to share a few examples of customer success. The following five enterprise-class organizations are using Teradata technology to run millions of queries per day in production-level, advanced analytic systems in the cloud. These customers’ words say it all and are worth reading; in alphabetical order, they are: Arcos Dorados owns, operates and ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Emmanuelle Rieuf. This article was posted by Ingrid Daubechies on Quanta Magazine. Ingrid is the James B. Duke Professor of Mathematics and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. She served as president of the International Mathematical Union from 2011 to 2014. Machine learning works spectacularly well, but mathematicians aren’t quite sure why. At a dinner I attended some years ago, the distinguished differential geometer Eugenio Calabi volunteered to me his tongue-in-cheek distinction between pure and applied mathematicians. A pure mathematician, when stuck on the problem under study, often decides to narrow the ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Chris Paciorek. We’ll be giving a two day workshop at the 43rd Annual Summer Institute of Applied Statistics at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah, June 19-20, 2018. Abstract is below, and registration and logistics information can be found here. This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to using, programming, and sharing Bayesian and hierarchical modeling algorithms using NIMBLE (r-nimble.org). In addition to learning the NIMBLE system, users will develop hands-on experience with various computational methods. NIMBLE is an R-based system that allows one to fit models specified using BUGS/JAGS syntax but with much more flexibility in defining ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: business-science.io - Articles. Time series prediction (forecasting) has experienced dramatic improvements in predictive accuracy as a result of the data science machine learning and deep learning evolution. As these ML/DL tools have evolved, businesses and financial institutions are now able to forecast better by applying these new technologies to solve old problems. In this article, we showcase the use of a special type of Deep Learning model called an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), which is useful for problems involving sequences with autocorrelation. We analyze a famous historical data set called “sunspots” (a sunspot is a solar phenomenon ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Dr. Shirin Glander. In our next MünsteR R-user group meetup on Monday, June 11th, 2018 Thomas Kluth and Thorben Jensen will give a talk titled Look, something shiny: How to use R Shiny to make Münster traffic data accessible. You can RSVP here: http://meetu.ps/e/F7zDN/w54bW/f About a year ago, we stumbled upon rich datasets on traffic dynamics of Münster: count data of bikes, cars, and bus passengers of high resolution. Since that day we have been crunching, modeling, and visualizing it. To involve local stakeholders and NGOs (e.g., the IG Fahrradstadt Münster), we found the R Shiny framework ... Read More

Feed: Latest imported feed items on Analytics Matters. Do you think it’s more feasible to build a new database entirely from scratch, or optimize the gold-standard analytics database—with over 700 patents already baked in—to run in public cloud infrastructures? The latest marketing hype from Snowflake is, “we are built for the cloud”. Their narrative is heavy on cloud and light on analytics. Snowflake’s basic SQL functionality limits them to providing basic reporting and descriptive analytics. Most of the benefits they tout from their “cloudiness” are based on fundamental public cloud economies of scale available to all vendors, not on any ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. For a very long time, women working in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math were unwelcome and underappreciated. Take for example the story of Katherine Johnson and her colleagues, who made remarkable contributions to the early years of NASA’s space program. The world had not even heard of her name until two years ago, when the movie, Hidden Figures, hit the screens. Sadly, it is still a man’s world in the STEM fields, and women struggle every day to find a strong foothold in it ... Read More
