Since then they’ve been nerfed twice, lowering both the initial stats and scaling potential of some minions. In this post I’ll help you build a Naga board… Continue reading HS Battlegrounds, optimizing your late game Naga board (post-nerf)
How to use simulations in data science
Simulation is a very potent tool that is often lacking in many data scientists’ toolkits. In this article, I will teach you how to use simulation in combination with other analytical tools. I will be sharing some educational and professional examples of simulation with Python code. If you are a data scientist (or on the… Continue reading How to use simulations in data science
13 essential tips for learning machine learning and data science
When you start learning, it’s very hard to have a clear direction. You often waste time on uninteresting, useless, or outdated topics. You wander and run in circles. However, once you’ve mastered the topic, it’s easy to look back and see the fastest path from noob to pro. If you only could go back in… Continue reading 13 essential tips for learning machine learning and data science
How to self-learn data science from scratch
When I learned data science I didn’t know where to start, so I wasted many hours learning only tangentially useful stuff. Now, after more than five years as a data science consultant, I know what I would’ve done differently. In this article, I will offer you a roadmap on how self-learn data science with links… Continue reading How to self-learn data science from scratch

How to estimate the impact of algorithms
You’ve just finished training a credit risk tree model with a whooping 57 AUC score, and you feel great. And you should. But let’s dig deeper. How much better will this model be than using no model? Or than using the previous model which had an AUC of 48? Have you ever wondered what the… Continue reading How to estimate the impact of algorithms
