I am around half-way through the book right now, and notice that you pepper the text with references to companies and publications.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll figure out what I can do. Tom might have a good idea how to do it.

Are the illustrations in the book available online in color? They're fun! They could make great posters for a collaborative space in our office.

I am interested in formal study in Analytics. Can you suggest a few reputable programs I might consider in terms of becoming a qualified Data Analyst and possibly more specifically a Competitive-Intelligence Analyst?

Please take a look at pages 164-166 of our book. Some programs for MSA(Master of Science in Analytics) are introduced there.

I am working on a data cleansing project and must provide some meaningful metrics to leadership. They are not impressed with "we captured 28% of records with null in DOB field" type metrics. I am at a loss what to provide as meaningful metrics.

Can you be more specific? What is your data cleansing project? Data stucture? Purpose of cleansing, etc.

Wondering, in the data analysis methods tab, whether the second table on multivariate analysis is complete! Please clarify.

Only two examples are included in the text. Wine equation for a multiple regressiom and Go case for a logistic regression.

Thank you Jinho for the clarification. Best regards! 10/1/2013 04:50:44 pm
They, too, were able to get to know each other more, have a bonding, and enlighten themselves to their importance in the organization.

Is there a way to post the "10 questions to ask" and have it available on the Internet? It's a very handy list to have printed out!

I am currently doing my dissertation in the field of predictive analytics of big data. My research topic focuses on retention and learning analytics as it relates to the big MOOC data from Coursera and MITx. Can you lead me to some good resources that would inform the theory related to predictive analytics applied to personalized learning that shows correlation to retention?

One of the top challenges I face in my work (analytics) is with management buy-in as well as employee adoption. I'm looking for recommendations (sites, books, advice) in terms of org. change management to adopt analytics. Ranging from maturity assessment (readiness), driving a fact based decision culture etc. Thanks. 10/19/2017 11:56:54 am
Hello Jinho & Tom! Just started listening to Keeping Up ...Quants audiobook (plus I've purchased but haven't yet rec'd paperback). Here are 3 questions right off the bat. 1. What's the difference bwtn a machine learning algorithm and a "non-machine learning" algo?

In Chapter 2 you list the six analytical stories. I dont understand their placement within the problem recognition. Could you explain further how they connect to the problem recognition?

Hi Thomas, I am working on a capstone project this quarter before checking out of a JWMI (Jack Welch) EMBA program and would appreciate your support on biz analytics. I am currently reading your book (well written btw) and executing a final project in parallel where I have chosen to frame the challenges facing Apply at the moment with decreasing iPhone sales and their next course of action to sustain shareholder value. Framing the challenge, i.e. decreasing iPhone sales which will have an knockoff effect on revenues going forward, seems straight forward, but your support on determining which items of data to use over and above, qtr on qtr unit sales, rev (both by geography) would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking market share might be another, along with avg unit sales price and margin but what others might I look at that are retrievable from public forums/publications that helps both frame and analyse the challenge at hand?

I'm currently a graduate students at University of Maryland University College in Data Analytics. I'm reading this book and loving it. The analytics concept you have introduced in the book and simple but powerful. Frame the problem, Solve It and Communicate well! I hope to study at HARVARD once I finish my current program. you guys are amazing! Leave a Reply. |
