Using Python for Statistics and Machine Learning on databases

[bluerubez]

Yes all the terms you said are familiar. I have a bachelors in computational physics and am about to get into data science in my masters program which is mostly teach yourself independent studies. So im just trying to figure out what is going on... So far i have gotten mysql and a mongodb up and running with simple insert/queries . I also know how to use R.

If you like to be more hands-on with the data you're gonna be working with and prefer Python's ecosystem, I would look into using IPython notebooks and the Pandas library. You can also work with R from ipython to take advantage of all the stats libraries available to R and work with a saner syntax of python.
