  • Hi everyone! It's been a while since I last uploaded a video due to my busy schedule and exams. But I'm back today with a video about Statistics for data analysis, which many of you have questions about: How much statistics do you need to know when you start your career as a data analyst or data scientist. Let me know if this is helpful to you! Enjoy!

    I think one important part of statistics a lot of people overlook is simply all of the assumptions being made behind the scenes. There are so many cases where you may use a particular test or model (even simple linear regression) where there are assumptions being made about sample size, normality, equal variance of residuals, etc., where you won’t get any warning or error in your code but the results may be untrustworthy because one or more assumptions are being violated. Always know what assumptions are being made when you implement certain methods, and to what degree these methods are robust to violations! It could mean the difference of being able to fit a desired model on the data directly, or needing to manipulate the data/methods drastically to be able to trust the results. Just because you see statistical significance does not mean something is significant, it means it is significant given all these other facts about the data hold true

    This is really helpful. I learned from many sources and really got stuck for not knowing which I “should” know. Lots of intermediate and advanced concepts that I learned are not really applicable in my scope of work, then I almost forgot them all :)) It is the best summary video of statistics for data analysts I have ever watched :) Thank you a lot

    Great video as always! I am just going through all of your videos. I am doing lots of regression analysis as a postdoctoral researcher and hearing that hypothesis testing is not a big thing in DS makes me a little sad haha. I find this part to be fun and I thought it would be useful in case I want to leave academia. For us, it is all about the p-value and how substantial the results are.

    I guess for Data Science, I will say yes you need a core knowledge of Statistics and Maths with big data applications but for data analysts, you can manage with Little bit of Statistics knowledge and it might also depend on which position you are working or feel comfortable to work with.
    For data analysts some things can be considerable but when you say Data Scientist then it's a heavy word you need to know about everything from Data Engineering to Data Analytics to Data Architect.
    But again here comes the twist after realising Gen AI everything becomes easier and faster so not now but in the coming future it will mainly impact the role of Data Analysts and what options we have either transit or go for higher roles like Data Scientist/ AI.

    I will respectfully disagree. Yes, you do not need to know much about Statistics to find a job in data analysis/science. But I have seen some works that really made my hair stand. From Kaplan-Meier curves estimated from small data sets with lots of censoring to within-subject covariance being ignored. And this DOES impact decision-making in harmful ways, without the user of DS methods ever being warned. One should never, and I mean it literally, use a method without fully understanding the math behind it. Of course, the mistake's impact will differ from situation to situation, but really avoid it like the plague. For example, it is only by doing the mathematics behind the bootstrap methods, which are not really advanced but really boring and painful to follow, that one can notice that it cannot be used as is in time series context. A mistake that I did in my undergrad days and exposed a client to a larger financial risk than anticipated. Again, with no warnings.

I’d recommend you to learn the most important and basic topics first and build it up over time, otherwise it would be a lot to take in. I tried to learn everything once and felt so overwhelmed and gave up 😅. So yeah.. just my experience

  • @clockfixer5049
    @clockfixer5049 Před rokem

    One point I didn’t quite get the impression had enough backing was the near uselessness of the Central Limit Theorem.
    All A/B testing in the largest tech companies is done entirely with the help of the latter. Statistics is the cornerstone of inference. No inference - no decisions. At least that’s what I’ve encountered too many a time to blindly believe that the CLT is not the most fundamental thing ultimately underlying all of the decision-making.

    I am sorry to comment on your video that meaning that you do not master statistics throughlly does not make you elligible to call them "obsolete" . Datascience, AI, Machine learning etc whether you like it or not are statistical works in progress. Every thing that is used to extract lnformation from data is the realm of statistics. Like any other field statistics is making use of technology. This does not make datascience, AI, machine learning etc out of the realm of statistics. So do not make people confussed by making baseless conclusions
