Apr 7: Statistics in Practice

Statistics in Practice

In this week’s Brief, we look in greater detail at Elder Research, Inc., which recently acquired Statistics.com.  If your organization is like most organizations, your data science initiatives may lack the direction and support they need to succeed – having a data science team does not guarantee data science success in business.  If your organization needs help in figuring out goals and objectives, in putting together the right team, in bringing data literacy to your organization, Elder Research can help with a strategy consultation. Contact Carter Phillips today to schedule.

Meanwhile… put your own time to good use!  Use the coming month to introduce yourself to Python, or, for those with some Python familiarity, learn how to apply it to predictive analytics.

  • May 15 – Jun 12:  Introduction to Python Programming  (for newcomers to Python)
  • May 15 – Jun 12:  Predictive Analytics 1: Machine Learning Tools using Python (for those with some Python familiarity who need some guidance, and perhaps a push, to take their knowledge further)

See you in class!

– Peter Bruce

Founder, Author, and Senior Scientist
