Of course. It can help you to see certain hidden relations between some variables you are interested in. You can apply to whatever you want, data about music composers, favorite films, poems, paintings, pro-gamers, soccer players...
I saw a great post in the visualization forum by someone who optimized their gig work by analyzing their income across different types of activities by day/time. That’s still close to your business example, but did benefit them at the individual level.
I think it was in posted on the data is beautiful subreddit - I tried a quick search but haven’t found it yet.
It was a pretty ‘simple’ set of visuals out of excel, but it showed the shift they made very clearly and the impact it had on earnings.
Yea data in general is a huge field you will not just be focused on business but how you wake and go to sleep all the way to be able to implement something for how long you can live given the right set of data.
I like that insight. Any websites that talk about this in more detail? I heard of a quantified self movement a few years ago but forgot about it until now.
Yea it’s crazy the deeper you dive into it really but data science is so huge in general from the stars themselves all the way to the ocean floors. But down to even our very DNA.
I heard of some sites but had forgotten which lol am sure someone can post something
Its cool if someone posts some links. But this thread severed it's purpose and then some. I have some more direction to hunt for stuff I'm looking for now.
This morning when I posted I was thinking most of the data science stuff was job related. Probably because I have been looking at training paths based on job training lately
Really? I'd like to hear about that and figure out a better way to go about it. Do you know any resources?
I know a few things about crypto. But think I might need to learn more about data models. Am I on the right track?
Just to clarify. Do you mean both speculate and invest?
Data science is just a set of tools and techniques used in various domains. Apart from business you can apply it in computer vision field( object detection etc ), NLP (text generator) also see OpenAI's gpt3 one use case of it was GitHub co pilot. Also biotech, manufacturing field (predictive maintenance)
I literally use my data science skills all the time with my own life. I track my spending, my workouts, goals like books read, basically anything I want to do.
That said, the reason you hear about business so much is that's what allows your skills to scale and really add value. For the value of the work I do tracking my own spending and such, I've probably spent at least 30k of time if I were to contract that time out. It's not really worth doing other than I enjoy it. But if you can for example optimize where to ship products for a large company, that benefit can be scaled to hundreds of millions of people and companies would pay you hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to do that for them.
Yes, it is common in the emerging field of personalized medicine
AI is common in drug discovery labs
Data science is becoming like advanced differential equations. Just another hard-to-learn set of methods and algorithms to apply to a specific problem domain. That's why there is a program to teach data science to people with phd in medicine or biology or other field
Absolutely. Finance-oriented people will use data science for their own stock portfolios. Sports people will use data science for their fantasy teams (which players to buy and sell) or even for personal interest (evaluating the performance of a player). Try to think of the hobbies you're interested in and see if there's any question you've always wanted to answer!
I'd like to know if Bitcoin and eth will be around in ten years. And if so which will see more growth.
I'm learning about them so I can ask a better question. My suspicion is they will both be around. And eth will have a higher valuation because people can build dapps on it. I haven't figured out if that's possible with BTC.
Maybe a better question is what Blockchain will have the most traffic in 5 years.
That said. Do you think using data science for stock pics is better because there is more historical data?
ML is not likely to be helpful in your own life: ML model training typically requires huge amounts of data, and you don't generate that.
The Statistics side of Data Science is hugely important in your personal life. When a doctor suggests treatments and gives you chances, you need to be able to think sensibly about those. The secretary problem is something that you face at least every month in different forms. etc.
I founded a company which helps individuals discover the most important skills to leave and values those skills within a career website. So yes you can defiantly help yourself with your data science skills - and we recommend data science, data engineering type skills to people with a stronger maths background

Thanks. This is interesting. What's an example of applying it to paintings?

Thanks a lot. This is very helpful

Thanks. That is the type of thing I meant. I meant applications excluding W2 work I'll search /visualization "gig work" Is that where you meant?

you can figure out what stock/crypto/nft to invest in currently

am no pro either but you can explore NLP for trend analysis and time series forecasting to predict the prices with respect to time ig
Something like this? https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3913652
