An R function to determine if you are a data scientist

From the post:

“Data scientist” is one of the buzzwords in the running for rebranding applied statistics mixed with some computing. David Champagne, over at Revolution Analytics, described the skills for being a data scientist with a Venn Diagram. Just for fun, I wrote a little R function for determining where you land on the data science Venn Diagram. Here is an example of a plot the function makes using the Simply Statistics bloggers as examples.

I mention this more for amusement than serious use in hiring. Probably best not to tell HR that you have such an R function.

Labeling a person or concept using a computer does not mean:

  1. The person or concept is correctly labeled, or
  2. If correctly labeled, you understand the label.
