Academic Background

Professional Background

Outside of my academic background I don’t have an extensive professional background. Most of my time since graduating high school in 2019 has centered around pursuing my education (With some setbacks related to life events along the way).

I did however hold one job for some of my time in college.

Experience with R

R has been both my primary and preferred programming language for the past 2 years. I have used R for data cleaning, and data visualization. I also have used R as for a wide range of statistical methods including Linear Models, ANOVA, T-Tests, and a very limited amount of Time Series Analysis.

Experience with Data Mining

I have experience in some of the key statistical concepts that encompass Data Mining.

I know:

  • Descriptive Statistics
  • Inferential Statistics
  • Probability Theory (Except Bayesian Inference)
  • Regression Analysis

I kind of know:

  • Classification Techniques (Mostly Discriminant Analysis, not Decision Trees, Naive Bayes, or KNN)
  • Clustering and Unsupervised Learning (Mostly Dimensionality Reduction and Principal Component Analysis, Not Hierarchical clustering or K-means clustering)

I don’t really know:

  • Time Series Analysis
  • Model Validation and Evaluation (Except for ROC curves and Confusion Matrix)

Other Software I have used
