5 days agoMember-onlyHow to Build Indestructible, Everlasting Data Science Habits With Minimal Effort…with a technique used to build 10 new habits this year alone, and I didn’t even read Atomic Habits — Motivation is the biggest enemy of habits Motivation is your biggest enemy when building new habits. Not because you have none of it but because you have too much of it at the start of a new habit. You often try a new behavior because something or someone inspired you to take action. With a mountain of…Data Science7 min readData Science7 min read
Mar 14Member-onlyHave Mercy on Yourself And Learn These 9 Everyday Python f-string CodesThe ‘eff’ in f-strings may as well stand for… (not that! What a twisted mind you have) for ‘freaking awesome’! — If you clicked on this article, you've probably already used f-strings in Python. You know that you can throw almost any expression between braces to sprinkle dynamic values into strings. But, from time to time, you see a guy using something like print(f"{f'${number:.3f}':>10s}") (probably to show off) and you undoubtedly…Python6 min readPython6 min read

Sure, there is the Mona Lisa, The Starry Night, and The Birth of Venus (which all have been ruined by AI-generated art, by the way), but I don't think any artist or human could create anything…Data Science12 min readData Science12 min read
Published in Towards Data Science·Feb 15Member-onlyWhat to Do With Outliers Once You Find ThemOutlier detection is only part of the story. The real challenge comes in figuring out what to do with these anomalies. It's all too easy just to brush outliers aside, but there are a lot of nuances and factors to consider. Blindly removing them can have unwanted consequences. While finding…Artificial Intelligence5 min readArtificial Intelligence5 min read

Published in Towards Data Science·Feb 6Member-onlyHow to Perform Univariate Outlier Detection in Python for Machine LearningOutlier detection series — Part 2 — Introduction The first question to ask before starting outlier detection is, "Does my dataset even have outliers?". While the usual answer is "Yes", it is always recommended to sniff the hint of outlier presence in the air before making big efforts (like using machine learning models) to isolate them. So, we…Artificial Intelligence9 min readArtificial Intelligence9 min read
Published in Towards Data Science·Jan 28Member-onlyHow to Perform Outlier Detection in Python for Machine Learning: Part 1Earth is an outlier — the theory — What are outliers? We live on an outlier. Earth is the only hump of rock with life in the Milky Way galaxy. Other planets in our galaxy are inliers or normal data points in a so-called database of stars and planets. There are many definitions of outliers. In simple terms, we define outliers…Machine Learning6 min readMachine Learning6 min read

Yes, it has more libraries. Yes, I make a living through Python, but these don’t prove the core native language is better than Julia. This is like the iOS vs. Android debate.
