ibromodzi: Modified: Steps in determining what tests to use in a statistical analysis; 1. What type of variables are you dealing with? Numerical or categorical?
2. What type of analysis are you doing? a. comparison (mean,median,proportion); this is where you use t-tests, ANOVA, etc.. depending on the distribution of the data(parametric or not) b. Relationship between two variables (say gender and smartness); this is where you use correlation (Pearson or Spearman rank) c. Predicting one variable from another (say exposure to smoke predicts the risk of lung cancer); this is a Regression task
3. Number of groups involved (say the effect of Chloroquine in Covid 19 and non Covid 19 patients - 2 groups)
4. Distribution of your data (Normal or not); there are different ways to determine this.
I believe you now understand the point I was talking from when I mentioned theoretical knowledge of statistics. Thanks |

KlausMichaelson: Wow, I haven't gotten to that level then. Thanks for the insight. Do you mean you can do a computation on a new column that requires values from other columns at just a single input? And it will also give answers to every cell in the new column? At just one single input or formula?? Yes |
Programming › Re: Chronicle Of A Data Scientist/analyst by BelieverDE: 7:53pm On Jul 28, 2020 |
KlausMichaelson: Good day Sir to answer your question below:
**But i observed that what is being done using Pandas and Matplolib can be done comfortably with excel(Power Queries)**
As an intermediate, I'll like to let you know why pandas is much more flexible than Excel. Here are my reasons
(1). Using Pandas, you can easily create a new cell(or column) that could do a multiple computations(addition, Subtraction, formulae etc) using values from other cells(or columns) in just a single line of code. But Excel is limited to that as you can only do it for each cell in a new column one by one and this can very cumbersome.
(2). Excel doesn't help give you a visualization of your preferred taste. That doesn't mean you can't design a plot( it's axis, Gradient line, ticks and the likes). But Pandas is more flexible using Matplotlib and pyplot, you can easily give your plot a good visualization of your choice.You can easily change marker colour, line size, line colour and the likes by just a simple line of code(even shorthand notation)
There are other reasons why I think Pandas/Matplotlib/Pyplot is more flexible than Excel but those are the ones I can remember at the moment. Although I stand to be corrected cos I'm still a learner.
Our Pros in the house can help too I have been learning Excel for close to 4 months. Everything you described above can be done with Excel. If you load your data to the Data Model or convert the table to an Excel Table, you can perform calculations to a column. You can also design the graph to your preferences described above. |

tplayer: 1- Excel(and relatives/natives like pivot table, power query(you can skip the M language in it), learn to create dashboards with excel(because what a lot of business people know is excel and excel is everywhere; power bi is d shiny kid getting lots of love now, and for good reasons), learn formulas and array formulas. Once u understand how cell referencing works, excel becomes easy. 1.5- power pivot (or just move to 2) 2-power bi(please learn data modelling here, please please learn how to use d dax language to create calculated columns, measures, time intelligence so you can stand out. power query and power pivot are still here too. Note that tableau can replace power bi too. These 2 are d most popular. 3. - involve urself in d statistical aspect of what you are learning. Using tools without knowing d statistics is not complete. after all data science, forger d sexy name, is basically statistics, some pure mathematics, cimputer science, and common sense. Please read all you can about probability, distributions, Central limit theorem, experimental design, ANOVA, manova, correlation, regression, Exploratory data analysis(e.g make sure you know all about d box plot, not just how to plot it), parametric and non parametric test, post-hoc tests. etc. Baba if you try all d things here, u are already a small boss. 4- Python or R, you choice (to implement 3, and even parts of 1 and 2. They are d languages of data.
5-Now, advance statistics and calculus( For MACHINE LEARNING!!!!!! which can be implemented using python or R.) You can start machine learning by using clicks and libraries before you go under d hood. machine learning no be beans sha o and its not just simple regression. But its learnable.
6. this has no number really. insert SQL anywhere after 2.
7- PRACTICE. PRACTICE. PRACTICE!!!
If all you want is mainly extraction, cleaning, munging, visualisation of data, and creating a shiny(apologies to R guys) dashboard, A simple knowledge of statistics may do it. Excel, Power bi and SQL will do.
To become a real data scientist aka machine expert, statistics, maths, must come in.

electromagnito: interesting question, well firstly, I had to pray to God for guidance because its all by his grace I find myself in this position. I had wanted to go to Hong Kong no matter what because the PhD topic was more related to my masters thesis which was on Glass science plus Hong Kong Universities are all in Top100 in the world including were I was admitted, let just say if there was no covid-19, I would have been in Hong Kong by now definitely. During the lock down, I use the opportunity to also apply for a PhD at University of Hawai'i in US to work on bulk material of colloid particles, this still fall under my research work but more of biophysics, I got admitted after two Skype interview and I believe my recommendation letter from my two professor in France played a bigger role, I was told, I was selected based on my molecular dynamics simulation skills(trust me I learnt everything in france, Nigeria na scam), but there is one problem, covid 19, so I can only resume in US for spring next year plus I will be fully funded by American Chemical Society, but after going through the journal given to me to prepare myself for spring, baba I got more confused. For France, La France, i got a PhD with ENS Lyon which is equivalent to getting a PhD with MIT in US, the PhD will be undertaken at Ecole Mines though but one special interest here is the topic, very interesting and fully sponsored by EDF, I will be working on nuclear reactor microstructure material like the 316L steel screw, this is a first hand industrial experience with EDF, everyone wants to work with EDF for sure. I believe i will go to US someday for postdoc probably, but I won't kill myself for a US PhD because I am desperate. When the time comes, we will move trust the process baba Is Molecular Simulation related in any way to Mathematical Modelling? |

So true!  I've been learning Excel for 3 months now. The truth is, Excel is so broad and I get lost in it by lingering on it. I don't know whether to move to SQL or PowerBI (as suggested from the Microsoft edx Data Analyst Xseries courses) Gurus in the house, please suggest a learning path for me to follow After Excel, should what should I learn next.

I researched on the requirements needed by employers in Canada, and the prominent requirement is[b] "Bachelors, Masters or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent"[/b] and some relevant skills such knowledge of tensor flow, pandas, NoSQL, etc |

soleexx: I'm glad you asked 1. Programming is not a "hard" But I won't lie, can be stressful.. Programming is the act of designing and building an executable computer program to accomplish a specific task... Accomplishing this task when you still learning can be stressful but never hard... "Don't give up" my mentor encourage words...
2. There are no specific estimated time to learn but I will advice you to keep learning till the next 6months or more... By that time, you not an expect but atleast you should be able to carry on many practice project on you own
3. Its depends on what kind of programs you want to learn... If you want to be frontend web developer I think your budget should start from 50k from a well standard IT school, if you want to run full stack Or software Development , then I guess budget should be around 100+... You maybe lucky to see more cheaper rate its not a fixed price... What matters is a sound IT school
4. I can only advice you to search for top 10 IT school in your state that offer those courses ... My mentor gave me everything I wanted before he relocated to the States as Full Stack Developer
5. Programming Is Obviously one of the best career to pursue right now.. We are in the word of digital Computer.. Other field needs us to function well... Medical needs us.. We provide lots of ICU equipment human need to survive Education needs IT Banks Can't run without IT Even in the military. IT personal are one of the highest paid in Canada /UnitedStates also Europe..
6.You are have very high assurance to secure a job with your IT skills... But note! Not all that graduate will get a job in IT company... Just like medical school
We call ourselves Qualified Computer Scientist because we understand the concept and fundamental of our career especially in the practical area...
You will secure a job if you know what you doing You need to tell yourself! I want to be a programmer and you must prove It... If you learn and you know it... Consider yourself settled in life...
Tho NIGERIA got issue with Employment, Bright brain or not... Naija will always be Naija
I will advice if you still an undergraduate studying computer science... As soon as you through with school and you have your Skills at hand.... Pls I beg find a way to relocate outside the country
NorthAmerica value IT Europe value IT Asia value IT Africa? Not all
Pls find a way to run your master in advance computer Outside nigeria and not only you will be okay in Life...
You will be successful...
Any Day I realize I follow my dream right from my kid age... I will always be greatful
Let me tell you a funny facts about me
While arranging my docs I found my result in Nursary school
Out of 9 subjects
Result was 8 subjects result was D While one subject was A
Computer was only subject I scored A
I was very little then but I know my destiny that day
Yours maybe different but still you can rewrite it and be a full Time Programmer and earn fortune for yourself and your family
Thanks and Goodluck
More question feel free to ask.... Thanks for sharing some tips with the fellow. I also learned from it too! I seldom see many IT guys going into Artificial Intelligence, specifically Machine Learning. Why are you guys running away from it? |

olioxx: . First let me appreciate that you already have an area you want to focus your effort on. Second: Artificial Intelligence is broad with many branches(or nodes) like Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, Robotics(as a subset), Natural Language Processing and even Genetic Engineering etc. Third: Regarding a learning path to follow, I might not be in the best position to outline that for you, as I am not specialized in Artificial Intelligence. But I would recommend that you read books on Machine Learning and Deep Learning (those that teaches Keras, TensorFlow, and ScikitLearn), also be very VERY good at Python 3 and SQL, then brush yourself up with learning R, MATLAB(optional). Fourth: You must be good at Mathematics and Calculus(Probability, Linear and Matrix Analysis, Combinatorics). Please don't bog yourself with learning the whole of these mathematical stuff, just learn the ones that applies to Machine Learning(Deep Learning). Fifth: If you can, pls enroll for a course on edX, edX is the best MOOC in my opinion. . ** Pls note that Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning. ** The learning path to AI and its subsets is very steep, but it is not impossible to learn. ** Start with downloading Miniconder and Anaconder so you practice as you learn. ** Very important, watch YouTube video, enroll for a course on edX. ** Pls note that at first, the learning process will be crazy, but with your persistence and curiosity, you will survive. ** If it's possible, there is this IBM online AI course, I don't know much about it, but please do enroll for the course, see ehn, IBM happens to be one of the best US of A companies that is very good with AI. You've heard of IBM Watson. Please search online for that IBM program. ** Lastly, pls join online AI forums, where you can ask questions and also learn from the expert. If it is Facebook group join it, if it's WhatsApp group join it, If it's Telegram group join it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I talk about edX course, pls note that to get certified, you have to pay(in US$). But there is a hack. You either enroll for a self paced program, or a follow through course/program(per say). These depends on what edX or the affiliated University currently offer, which means there are some course that are self paced, or those that you follow through(for some months). What I do is, I will take/enroll for the program and learn without getting certified as that will be free, you just need a Computer, Internet Connection and Good Battery. But if you have the money, pls do get certified, as that will give your career a boost. If there is anything I omit, I will try modify this comment. If there are any ML engineers on Nairaland, pls make una comment oooo. Oh before I forget, on Google search bar, type in "Best Books for Machine Learning". If you find any O'Reilly or Packet Publication books, please do buy it or download it, those guys publish very standard book. My library is filled up with their books. They are good publishers, especially tech related books. You're a great helper. I really appreciate your valuable input. You have a way of clarifying things and this has helped me to sort through the choices. As suggested, I have mapped out AI forums to join. I have also looked up related MOOCs to take. Thanks for bringing the IBM AI online course to my notice and thanks again for being so willing to help me figure things out. |

olioxx: . My Humble Tips: First: I would recommend that you have an in demand skill(tech skill) or that you polish your skills very well. No foreign company will bother about you if you are a basics front end developer(there are tons to choose from). I would recommend that you learn up to being a full-stack web developer. If you have a foreign company in mind, you can go check out their job posting to get a clue of what skill they are requiring. Second: Make as much website as possible to get the attention of these companies. In summary, build a very solid portfolio Third: If you have a foreign country you would like to work in, please do check their in demand skills catalogue, you are going to find lots of in demand skills the country needs. Fourth: (pls note that if it is possible, then do this, if not it's not mandatory) I would recommend that you try learning sought after tech skills, like Artificial Intelligence, Mobile App Engineering, Software Engineer, DevOp, Full Stack Web Dev, Learning OOP languages(Python or C++). . The simply truth is, if you have sought after skills, then you can work at any company in any country. Please don't limit your self to thinking that you need to move to that country before you get work, It is highly possible that you work remotely with that company from Naija, earning in international currency. Hi olioxx, Thanks for this post. Although I have a background in Geophysics, I recently piqued interest in Artificial Intelligence. Could you please suggest a learning path I'd follow or resources I'd use to optimize my learning? Thanks in anticipation of your kind response. Regards, BelieverDE |

willy2000: This thread was inspired by "Being Black In Berlin/Germany " by Danielhouston. I read and enjoyed the thread while it lasted, this motivated me to start something different.
I discovered that there is an information gap for people who want to understand how life is in Germany, though we have several threads on visa application, survival tips for students. I want this thread to be an avenue for people that have emigrated to Germany(with or without their families) to share their experience to help future applicants about living in Germany.
Kindly share your experience and comments on :
* Your visa application experience in Nigeria
* Travelling experience/ adjustment status experience.
* How you converted your visa to a residence permit (required documents).
* What are the immigration rules to follow?
* Residence permit renewals.
* If you are a Student. How do you find German universities How difficult/ easy are your courses What are the avoidable pitfalls for incoming students How can one balance work and study How can one make friends Fun things as a Student
* How can one go about job applications/internships?
* Using a credit card( things to avoid)
* Tips on how to cloth and cope with the cold weather
* Where you live and why you like it or don't you like it? Tips on choosing the right neighborhood. (Internet plans, phone plans)
* Public Transportation Vs Driving in Germany.
* Driving in Germany? How long can you use your Naija driving license before you get a license?
* Tricks and tips to get successfully get a license
* Childcare for children below 5
* What culture shock have you experienced?
* How to locate Nigerian restaurants and market in your location
* How much do you or your family survive on in a month?
* Fun things to do 
* And any other advice.........
Please, I created this thread not because I want to share my story, but because I want everybody to share his or her own story. The mistakes some of us made, should not be made by incoming ones. I will want to reiterate, this is not a thread about RACISM and DISCRIMINATION in Germany, neither is it a thread for ASYLUM or IMMIGRATION questions.
In fact, I want this thread to be for those who have started their German dream to share what, where, and how the experience is so far. I will not debate with anyone and I'll also not answer any questions pertaining to school, work, visas, or therein. I do not know it all, and whatever I share here is my biased opinion.

Hey Danielhouston, Many thanks for your exposition so far on this thread. Everything felt like a movie being played out to me!  I observed that they are Oil companies like DEA and Wintershall who have oil blocks in the North Sea. What do you think is the view of many Germans on fossil fuels?
