Plotly Beta: Graphing and Analytics Platform

Hey Data Scientists, I wanted to reach out about Plot.ly, a new startup for analyzing and beautifully visualizing data. We just launched a beta. It is built for math, science, and data applications. We’d love your thoughts. Overview:  You can import data from anywhere, and analyze it in our grid with stats, fits, functions, and more. Our plotting APIs (R, Python, MATLAB, Arduino, REST, Julia, Perl) and grid make interactive, web-ready, publication-quality graphs.  We have a Python Shell, and interactive graphs […]

New in Plotly: Interactive Graphs with IPython

New! Plotly lets you style interactive graphs in IPython. Then, you can share your Notebook or your Plotly graph. It’s like having the NYTimes graphics department inside your IPython. You can also get these Notebooks on the Plotly GitHub page. Visit Plot.ly to see more documentation.  Here’s a preview of how it looks to have your code, data, and graph all interactively available. See the live version. To finish reading, please visit source site

Data Science In The Cloud With DataJoy

DataJoy is an unbelievably fantastic way for a working data scientist to have their favorite tools at hand. I am a minimalist when it comes to being mobile, whether working on the road, traveling for leisure, and sometimes both. I do not like to keep files on my laptop and I do not, for the most part, like to worry about keeping updated applications on my laptop. I have tried as much as possible to push my life into the […]

Picking an Analytic Platform

Summary: Picking an analytic platform when first starting out in data science almost always means working with what we’re most comfortable.  But as organizations grow larger there is a need for standardization and for selecting one, or a few analytic tools.   Picking an analytic platform when first starting out in data science almost always means working with what we’re most comfortable.  That in turn almost always means whatever we used in college (or your certificate course) be it R, […]

Machine Learning – Anomaly Detection: “Finding a Needle in a Haystack”

After exploring formulation, classification, benchmarking, we explore another facet of Machine Learning: anomaly detection. This part is key in the IoT transformation, as it enables internet-connected AI devices to alert, adapt and respond accordingly. Once properly trained, an IoT could not only warn and prevent imminent failure, but also execute a response, adaptive to the anomaly detected. In this process, we’ll explore intrinsic hurdles that makes the anomaly detection process a non-trivial task of “finding a needle in haystack”. Opportunities abound to explore, and any univariate sequential […]

What’s That Beer Style? Ask a Neighbor, or Two

Beer is delicious but it is not one thing. If you disagree with the former part of the previous sentence please keep the latter in mind[1]. Think of sports, for instance. Many would agree with the blanket statement “sports are fun” but depending on what you have in mind two people can easily have opposite reactions to being presented the opportunity to play ping-pong. Sports are not one thing, music is not one thing, and neither is beer. Presented with […]
