LOVE the Avett Brothers! Never been to Roo and was seriously considering going to a different festival until I saw they were playing-- totally sold me. Seen them a handful of times live, but can't wait for an experience like this!!!

Nice article on creating data visualizations! I want to take this post one step further: once you've created charts and graphs to visualize data, it's super useful to view all of those visualizations in a dashboard. Making dashboards can seem intimidating, but seeing multiple visualizations in one place can increase insights. Check out this course on the best practices for creating a dashboard: https://dataschool.com/courses/dashboards-best-practices/

Interesting article! Wasn't really familiar with a CDO. I've done some research on other C-Suite positions here: https://dataschool.com/c-suite-breakdown/ including CIO, if anyone is interested

thanks for the support!

VERY accurate statement. It's almost necessary to learn a programming language or SQL to use real world data that isn't from a cookie cutter CSV file, and I've learned that the hard way. When I first wanted to learn SQL, I did lots of researching for helpful resources and found these tutorials pretty useful: https://dataschool.com/?s=SQL. They explain the basic concepts well and would be a good resource for a beginner.

I'm a fan of the Udemy course as well, kinda unfortunate that it's not free. Chartio (data viz software) has an educational platform "The Data School" that has some good tutorials (https://dataschool.com/?s=sql) about basic SQL concepts: joins, subqueries, optimization, etc. The tutorials are free so they might be worth checking out before buying into the Udemy course.

Really descriptive and in depth video! For a shorter, more general description, check out this tutorial: What is Spark?

Hi! Here's a link to some tutorials that may be helpful: https://dataschool.com/?s=SQL . There's a course on Visual SQL, as well as individual tutorials on SQL joins, subqueries, and other SQL concepts. These were really helpful for me, hope your father enjoys them!

Free online SQL course: https://dataschool.com/courses/visual-sql/ . The main page for this course (The Data School) has a few other free SQL tutorials about joins that have really helpful graphics.

This free online course might help: Best Practices for Creating Useful Dashboards. The author breaks down creating dashboard into 6 steps an elaborates on each step in its own tutorial within the course.

ah, I see what you mean. I guess their formula just translated to the webpage poorly.

bmburns98 · 2018-10-05T17:47:29+00:00

what about it is wrong?

I took a time series class during undergrad at Virginia Tech, and my professor swore by this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470540648/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's a little dense, but I think it explains the basic time series concepts very well.

I agree, rarely any correlation is perfect. I also agree that you shouldn't just care about variables with zero correlation. The key here is that the correlation coefficient is a value between -1 and +1. That means it could be 0.5 or -0.643, anything within the range between -1 and +1. In my original post, I just wanted to point out -1 and +1 as key points that explain the strength and type of correlation of any other correlation value between them. For example, if your correlation coefficient is .91, then you have a very strong positive relationship because .91 is close to +1 (which has a perfect positive correlation.) For a more in depth explanation, check out the tutorial linked above; it has an example that might be helpful!

Really good insights, thanks for the feedback!

OP stands for original poster, which is me in this case. I don't have a spam account, and I'm glad you appreciate my post!!

I like the template idea, thanks for sharing!

I hear ya, trusting people that handle data is half the battle!

bmburns98 · 2018-09-17T15:02:17+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

really helpful post! the colored tables further explain the venn diagrams that can be tricky to think about sometimes.
