Avoid “Complete,” “Data Science,” in Titles

Filed under: Data Science — Patrick Durusau @ 10:06 pm

A Complete Tutorial to learn Data Science in R from Scratch by Manish Saraswat.

This is a useful tutorial but it isn’t:

  1. Complete
  2. Does NOT cover all of Data Science

But, this tutorial was tweeted and has been retweeted at least seven times that I know of, possibly more.

Using vague and/or inaccurate terms in titles makes tutorials more difficult to find.

That alone should be reason enough to use better titles.

A more accurate title would be:

R for Predictive Modeling, From Installation to Modeling

That captures the use of R, that the main focus is on predictive modeling and that it will start with the installation of R and proceed to modeling.

Not a word said about all of “data science,” or being “complete,” whatever that means in a discipline with daily advances on multiple fronts.

Just a little effort on the part of authors could improve the lives of all of us desperately searching to find their work.

Yes?
