Some key Win-Vector serial data science articles by John Mount.
From the post:
As readers have surely noticed the Win-Vector LLC blog isn’t a stream of short notes, but instead a collection of long technical articles. It is the only way we can properly treat topics of consequence.
…
- Statistics to English translation.
This series tries to find vibrant applications and explanations of standard good statistical practices, to make them more approachable to the non statistician.
- Statistics as it should be.
This series tries to cover cutting edge machine learning techniques, and then adapt and explain them in traditional statistical terms.
- R as it is.
This series tries to teach the statistical programming language R “warts and all” so we can see it as the versatile and powerful data science tool that it is.
More than enough reasons to start haunting the the Win-Vector LLC blog on a regular basis.
Perhaps an inspiration to do more long-form posts as well.
