Data Science Association Announcements
The DSA is considering a Data Science Forum & Vail Ski Retreat for March, 2014. Please spend 30 seconds to take the Survey to help us determine level of interest @http://bit.ly/1aLWviG.
Check out videos and slides for the January 14 event: Adding Predictive Analytics to BI Team & Random Forest & Decision Trees using R. See: http://bit.ly/19FmRca.
New Data Science Books from DSA Store:
- Causality: Models, Reasoning, and Inference
- Data Just Right: Introduction to Large-Scale Data & Analytics
- Developing Analytic Talent: Becoming a Data Scientist
- Bayesian Data Analysis
- Social Physics: How Good Ideas Spread - Lessons from a New Science
Dr. Vincent Granville has a new book called "Developing Analytic Talent: Becoming a Data Scientist" that is excellent.
