I curated a list of Data Science or Statistics resources — articles, blogs, online classes, online games… Whether you’re a rising Data Analyst or Scientist, an undergraduate or you just need a refresher, I am sure you will find something useful. Prepare your bookmarks!
Data Science
Public Algorithm Archive — A list of Data Science articles
This list is curated by The Algorithm, MIT Technology Review’s weekly AI newsletter that examines the field’s latest news and research. It contains all the issues and links to those. Here are examples of subjects you can find:
- Retail automation is changing the way we shop
- Google’s medical AI was super accurate in a lab. Real-life was a different story
Statistics
Data Science Central — One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
A blog regrouping opinion pamphlets, informational articles about Tech topics (Data Science, AI, ML…), and Business topics (Digital Workspace, AI marketing…). Don’t be discouraged by the rather primitive UX of the website — the articles and writing style of the bloggers are rather concise and clear. One series of blog posts is particularly interesting: “in One Picture”. The goal is to convey information about a statistical or data science concept in a concise manner through a diagram. Below, Machine Learning with Applications in One Picture, but you can also find Best Languages for Data Science and Statistics in One Picture, Math vs. Statistics in One Picture.
Statistics How To — Statistics for the Rest of Us
This website is ideal for those who need a refresher, or who want to understand elementary statistical concepts. It covers more than 1,000 articles and hundreds of videos for basic statistics, probability and advanced statistics topics. The website is very well-structured and it’s very easy to find the lesson/chapter you are looking for.
Guess the Correlation —When Mario meets Statistics
In this game, you will develop an intuition for statistical correlations. Basically, for each round, you are shown a scatter plot for which you have to guess the R-squared value (the correlation), the more accurately the better. Go as far as you can before you lose your three lives. You can even play with a friend!
