IBM Watson http://www.jenunderwood.com/2017/03/28/ibm-watson-cognitive-computing/?utm_content=bufferb4ded&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer The DataCamp Intro to R is free but later courses are paid. Will try complete Coursera first and get some heads on and then I can buy DataCamp courses as well. https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/featured/90-pros-expect-attacks-risk-vulnerability-iiot-2017/ http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2017/03/17/language-rankings-1-17/

Apparently we need to get 80% in the quiz , I got 3/5 correct so that is 60%, I need to retake the test for Coursera. I have started Intermediate with R in DataCamp as I found the learning to be nice and concise , the Beginning with R is quite a good course for beginners to get an interest in learning R , will surely recommend it. I have seen even LinkedIn learning has lot of courses even for Data Science , will need to try their free 1 month offer. At the same time I have subscribed to datascience central and kdnuggets for some latest news. I have even subscribed on Google Plus and Facebook for some big data and machine learning channels , just to keep up with current trends happening in the world.

Data Analytics gives one true and absolute results , so the scenario that came up in my mind like when to patients visit most hospital. Data Analytics will give us the picture Friday as per figures  which is wrong as per Data Science , Friday is the day they visit the hospital but that might not be the day they get sick , it might be the day people feel like visiting the hospital due to various reasons internally(within the hospital boundaries) and externally (outside the hospital boundaries). eg. General mindset to wait till weekend , Friday might be general trend more doctors on duty in corollary to Thursday doctors are more relaxed and tend to cater to lesser patients. Several ideas , parking , bachelor or married or children , how each idea influences the idea of visiting the hospital.  Collecting these stats requires hardware and software. Suppose hospital does not have equipment to log entry , exit of doctors even each ward wise (Expecting triggers at door open of a

S trata + Hadoop , New technologies related to big data and final data science. Trying to collect all data possible related to becoming a Data Scientist and will hopefully do analysis in that. Subsribe to kdnuggets seems like a real steal !! http://www.kdnuggets.com/2017/03/strata-hadoop-san-jose-key-takeaways.html http://www.kdnuggets.com/2017/03/data-science-data-scientist-do.html http://www.kdnuggets.com/2017/02/17-data-science-interview-questions-answers.html

Should I use a data.frame or a matrix? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5158790/should-i-use-a-data-frame-or-a-matrix I think I'm getting a little hand at the advantages of having a language like R.

Old article back in 2010 , feel I'm like outdated , as to the importance of data science has been clearly stated way back . http://www.economist.com/node/15579717 Also the course on Coursera seems very promising plus it gives you one week of trial , you cannot get a better deal than that. Big Data http://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/digital-mckinsey/our-insights/big-data-the-next-frontier-for-innovation  Open in IE for flash and podcast. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/06/technology/06stats.html Drew Convay Venn Diagram http://drewconway.com/zia/2013/3/26/the-data-science-venn-diagram

Feels exciting going back to vectors and matrices , it's this feeling wish there was this explanation at that point of time . But the questions remain were we intelligent or smart enough to relate or were the educators smart enough to advocate a meaning to what they taught well the latter seems more probable, as today even if we teach a kid some programming , we try give him the big picture , how the coding behaves or affects what he sees or uses in reality , this key crucial element to any subject might change the whole outlook . Okay i might be little carried away to expect Data Science in early 2000s but the very fact that we were never given a real time problem or atleast the problem was hardly ever given a "Business" Context , just made me feel very mute. Never the less , let's enjoy learning R and hopefully to get my hands on with Coursera  Data Science course spreas over 6 months which seems a minimal time to dwell on these aspects.

Checked some certifications , was looking for something slightly longer. The one on cloudera CCP Data Scientist seems is retired and currently only have CCP: Data Engineer but not sure if this is something I should start right away with at this point of time. Found one on coursera which seemed good for Data Scientist. https://www.coursera.org/specializations/jhu-data-science?utm_source=gg&utm_medium=sem&campaignid=749038049&adgroupid=43242527030&device=c&keyword=certified%20data%20scientist&matchtype=e&network=g&devicemodel=&adpostion=1t1&creativeid=176695995025&hide_mobile_promo&gclid=CjwKEAjw8OLGBRCklJalqKHzjQ0SJACP4BHrOW8gIYlKMVtkh3CiayIzAJoNA9yZdbZ4Qehof2fbzhoCqxfw_wcB#creators

Checked online certain universities for Data Analysis or Data Sciences or Machine Learning or Computational Sciences courses. It isn't so widespread in UAE , sent some mails and inquired with some recently LinkedIn contacts. Check this link for lot of good information on the path http://www.mastersindatascience.org/careers/data-scientist/ Now on the learning R , seems cool esp. the vector factor , slowly I correlate similar data (eg. nos) and then classifying the similar data on a pattern (eg. days) and doing certain analysis on them to extract information. I have taken this course.  https://campus.datacamp.com/courses/free-introduction-to-r What Kind of Skills Will I Need? Technical Skills Math (e.g. linear algebra, calculus and probability) Statistics (e.g. hypothesis testing and summary statistics) Machine learning tools and techniques (e.g. k-nearest neighbors, random forests, ensemble methods, etc.) Software engineering skills (e.g. distributed computing, algo

Can't believe it's been 4 years since my last act with words. Probably the simplest excuse , busy and reality lack of content or rather lack of content to be content with. Nevertheless , I have come back to use my blogging platform as a note reminder/ TODO list n so on so forth. I have decided to learn what it takes to be a Data Scientist. Something in me urged to push myself and the developer world seems like a big dark hole keep getting darker and bigger. The Angular series , the Django n CMS , Node.js and so on so forth . The little glimpse of light and hope to a bewildered Developer gave the word data science  , rejuvenating words like as naive as Mathematics , getting nostalgic about going back to big books of study. So this is my first day , technically night . And the first research I have done is found a guidelines to becoming one and another inherent guideline embedded i me goto LinkedIn and search for Data Scientists and see their profile. I match people closest
