Top 6 Data Science Interview Red Flags

Posted on by Dexlab

Top 6 Data Science Interview Red Flags

Excited to face your first data science interview? Probably, you must have double-checked your practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Technical interviews are tough yet interesting. Cracking them and bagging your dream job is no mean feat.

Thus, to lend you a helping hand, we’ve compiled a nifty list of some common red flags that plague data science interviews. Go through them and decide how to handle them well!

Boring Portfolio

Having a monotonous portfolio is not a crime. Nevertheless, it’s the most common allegation against data scientists by the recruiters. Given the scope, you should always exhibit your organizational and communication abilities in an interesting way to the hiring company. A well-crafted portfolio will give you instant recognition, so why not try it!

Deep Learning and AI using Python

Sloppy Code

Of course, your analytical skills, including coding is going to be put to test during any data science interview. A quick algorithm coding test will bring out the technical value you would add to the company. In such circumstances, writing a clumsy code or a code with too many bugs would be the last thing you want to do. Improving the quality of coding will accelerate your hiring process for sure.

Confusion about Job Role

No wonder if you walk up to your interviewer having no idea about your job responsibilities, your expertise and competence will be questionable. The domain of data science includes a lot of closely related job profiles. But, they differ widely in terms of skills and duties. This is why it’s very important to know your field of expertise and the skills your hiring company is looking for.

Zero Hands-on Experience

A decent, if not rich, hands-on experience in Machine Learning or Data Science projects is a requisite. Organizations prefer candidates who have some experience. The latter may include data cleaning projects, data-storytelling projects or even end-to-end data projects. So, keep this in mind. It will help you score well in the upcoming data science interview.

Lack of Knowledge over Data Science Technicalities

Data analytics, data science, machine learning and AI – are all closely associated with one another. To excel in each of these fields you need to possess high technical expertise. Being technically sound is the key. An interview can go wrong if the recruiter feels you lack command over data science technicalities, even though you have presented an excellent portfolio of projects.

Therefore, you have to be excellent in coding and harbor a vast pool of technical knowledge. Also, be updated with the latest industry trends and robust set of algorithms.

Ignoring the Basics

It happens. At times, we fumble while answering some very fundamental questions regarding our particular domain of work. However, once we come out of the interview venue, we tend to know everything. Reason: lack of presence of mind. Therefore, the key is to be confident. Don’t lose your presence of mind in the stifling interview room.

Thus, beware of these drooping gaps; being a victim of these critical objections might keep you away from bagging that dream data analyst job. Instead, work on them and win a certain edge over others while cracking the toughest data science interview session.

Basics of a Two-Variable Regression Model: Explained

Posted on by Dexlab

Basics of a Two-Variable Regression Model: Explained

In continuation of the previous Regression blog, here we are back again to discuss the basics of a two-variable regression model. To read the first blog from the Regression series, click here www.dexlabanalytics.com/blog/a-regression-line-is-the-best-fit-for-the-given-prf-if-the-parameters-are-ols-estimations-elucidate.

In Data Science, regression models are the major driver to interpret the model with necessary statistical methods, practically as well as theoretically. One, who works extensively with business data metrics, will be able to solve various tough problems with the help of a regression theory. The key insight of the regression models lies in interpreting the fitness of the models. But it differs from the standard machine learning techniques such that, for improvement in the performance of the model being predicted, the major interpretable coefficients are never sacrificed. Thus, a sense in regression models can be considered as the most important tool to be chosen for solving any practical problem.

2

Let’s consider a simple example to understand regression analysis from scratch. Say, we want to predict the sales of a Softlines eCommerce company for this year during the festivals of Diwali. There are a lot of factors to generate impacts on the sales value, as there are hundreds of factors persisting within the model. We can consider our own judgement to get the impacting factors. Now, here in our model, the value of sales that we want to predict is the dependent variable, whereas the impacting factors are considered as the independent variables. To analyse this model in terms of regression, we need to gather all the information about the independent variables from the past few years, and then act on it according to the regression theory.

Before getting into the core theory, there are some basic assumptions for such a two-variable regression model and they are as follows:

  • Variables are linearly related: The variables in a 2-variable Regression Model are linearly related, the linearity being in parameters, though not always in variables, i.e. the power in which the parameters appear should be of 1 only and should not be multiplied or divided by any other parameters. These linearly related variables are basically of two types (i) independent or explanatory variables & (ii) dependent or response variables.
  • Variables can be represented graphically: The idea behind this assumption guarantees that observations must be real numbers represented on graph papers.
  • Residual term and the estimated value of the variables are uncorrelated.
  • Residual terms and explanatory variables are uncorrelated.
  • Error variables are uncorrelated with mean 0 & common variance σ2

Deep Learning and AI using Python

Now, how can a PRF for expanding an economic relationship between 2 variables be specified?

Well, Population regression function, or more generally, the population regression curve, is defined as the locus of the conditional means of the dependent variables, for a fixed value of the explanatory variables. More simply, it is the curve connecting the means of the sub-populations of Y corresponding to the given values of the regressor X.

Formally, a PRF is the locus of all conditional means of the dependent variables for a given value of the explanatory variables. Thus; the PRF as economic theory would suggest would be:

Where 9(X) is expected to be an increasing function of X, if the conditional expectation is linear in X. then

Hence, for any ith observations:

However, the actual observation for the dependent variable is Yi. Therefore; Yi – E(Y/Xi) = ui, which is the disturbance term or the stochastic term of the Regression Model.

Thus,

…………………… (A)

  • is the population regression function and this form of specifying the population regression function is called the stochastic specification of the PRF.

Stochastic Specification of the Model:

Yi = α + βXi + ui is referred to as the stochastic specification of the Population Regression Function, where ui is the stochastic or the random disturbance term. It explains everything’s net influence other than X variable on the ith observation. Thus, ui is a surrogate or proxy for all omitted or neglected variables which may affect Y but is not included in the model. The random disturbance term is incorporated into the model with the following assumptions:-

Proof:

Taking conditional expectation as both sides, we get:

Hence; E(ui) = 0

cov(ui,uj) = E(ui uj ) = 0 ∀ i ≠ j i.e. the disturbance terms are distributed independently of each other.

Proof:

Two variables are said to be independently distributed, or stochastically independent; if the conditional distributions are equal to the corresponding marginal distributions.

Hence; cov(ui,uj )= E(ui uj ) = 0 Thus, no auto correction is present among ui,s i.e. ui,s. s are identically and independently distributed Random Variables. Hence, ui,s are all Random Samples.

Proof:

The conditional variance between two error terms can be given as given independence &

 

 

All these assumptions can be embodied in the simple statement: ui~N(0,σ2) where ui,s are iid’s ∀ I, Which heads “the ui are independently distributed identically distributed with mean 0 & variance σ2”.

A Regression Line Is the Best Fit for the Given PRF If the Parameters Are OLS Estimations – Elucidate

Posted on by Dexlab

A Regression Line Is the Best Fit for the Given PRF If the Parameters Are OLS Estimations - Elucidate

Regression analysis is extensively used in business applications. It’s one of the most integral statistical techniques that help in estimating the direction and strength between two or more (financial) variables – thus determining a company’s sales and profits over the past few years.

In this blog, we have explained how a regression line is the best fit for a given PRF if the parameters are all OLS estimations.

The OLS estimators for a given regression line has been obtained as: a = y ̅ – bx ̅ and b = (Cov(x,y))/(v(x)). The regression line on the basis of these OLS estimate has been given as: Y ̂_ i-Y ̅ = b(x_i-x ̅ )….. (1)

The regression line (1) constructed above is a function of the least square i.e. the parameters of the regression equation have been selected so that the residual sum of squares is minimized. Thus, the estimators ‘a’ & ‘b’ explains the population parameters, the best relative to any other parameters. Given, the linearity of the parameters, these estimators share the minimum variations with the population parameters, i.e. they explain the maximum variations in the model, in relation to the population parameters, as compared to any other estimators, in a class of unbiased estimators.

Thus, the regression line would be the ‘best fit’ for a given PRF. If ‘a’ & ‘b’ are best linear unbiased estimators for  respectively. Thus, to show ‘best fit’, we need to prove:

  1. To ‘b’ is Best unbiased estimator for :-

From the OLS estimation; we have ‘b’ as:

i.e.b is a linear combination of w’is & y’is.

Hence; ‘b’ is a linear estimator for β. Therefore, the regression line would be linear in parameters as far as ‘b’ is concerned.

Now,

Let us test for the prevalence of this conditions:

For unbiasedness, we must have :- E(b)=β. To test this, we take expectation on both sides of (3) & get:

From (1) & (4) we can say that ‘b’ is a linear unbiased estimator for β.

To check whether ‘b’ is the best estimator or not we need to check whether it has the minimum variance in a class of linear unbiased estimator.

Thus, we need to calculate the variance for ‘b’ & show that it is the minimum in a class of unbiased estimations. But, first, we need to calculate the variance for ‘b’.

Now; we need to construct another linear unbiased estimator and find its variance.

Let another estimator be: b^*=∑ci yi….(6)  For unbiasedness ∑ci =0,∑cixi =1.

Now; from (6) we get:

∴b* is an unbiased estimator for  Now; the variance for  can be calculated as:-

Now;

Hence; from (9) we can say V(b) is the least among a class of unbiasedness estimators.

Therefore, ‘b’ is the best linear unbiased estimator for  in a class of linear unbiased estimators.

2

  1. To prove ‘a’ is the best linear unbiased estimator for α:-

Form the OLS estimation we have ‘a’ as:-

Here; ‘b’ is a function of Y and Y is a linear function of X(orUi).

‘a’ is also a linear function of Y. i.e. has linearity.

There, ‘a’ is a linear estimator for   ……. (11)

Now, for ‘a’ to be an unbiased estimator; we must have From (10) we have:-

Taking expectations on both sides of the equation; we get:

Therefore, ‘a’ is an unbiased estimator for  ……… (12)

From (11) & (12) ‘a’ is a linear unbiased estimator for

Now, if ‘a’ is to be the best estimator for then is most have the minimum variance. Thus; we first need to calculate the variance of ‘a’.

Now, 

Now; let us consider an estimator in the class of linear unbiased estimator.

Further we know,

Now;

Hence;

Now;

Therefore;

Hence; from (16) we can say that is the Min Variance Unbiased estimator in a class of unbiased estimator.

Hence; we can now safely conclude that a regression line composed of OLS estimators is the ‘best fit’ line for a given PRF, compared to any other estimator.

Thus, the best-fit regression line can be depicted as

Thus, a regression line is the best fit for a given PRF if the estimators are OLS.

Bayesian Thinking & Its Underlying Principles

Posted on by Dexlab

Bayesian Thinking & Its Underlying Principles

In the previous blog on Bayes’ Theorem, we left off at an interesting junction where we just touched upon the ideas on prior odds ratio, likelihood ratio and the resulting Posterior Odds Ratio. However, we didn’t go into much detail of what it means in real life scenarios and how should we use them.

In this blog, we will introduce the powerful concept of “Bayesian Thinking” and explain why it is so important. Bayesian Thinking is a practical application of the Bayes’ Theorem which can be used as a powerful decision-making tool too!

We’ll consider an example to understand how Bayesian Thinking is used to make sound decisions.

For the sake of simplicity, let’s imagine a management consultation firm hires only two types of employees. Let’s say, IT professionals and business consultants. You come across an employee of this firm, let’s call him Raj. You notice something about Raj instantly. Raj is shy. Now if you were asked to guess which type of employee Raj is what would be your guess?

If your guess is that Raj is an IT guy based on shyness as an attribute, then you have already fallen for one of the inherent cognitive biases. We’ll talk more about it later. But what if it can be proved Raj is actually twice as likely to be a Business Consultant?!

This is where Bayesian Thinking allows us to keep account of priors and likelihood information to predict a posterior probability.

The inherent cognitive bias you fell for is actually called – Base Rate Neglect. Base Rate Neglect occurs when we do not take into account the underlying proportion of a group in the population. Put it simply, what is the proportion of IT professionals to Business consultants in a business management firm? It would be fair to assume for every 1 IT professional, the firm hires 10 business consultants.

Another assumption could be made about shyness as an attribute. It would be fair to assume shyness is more common in IT professionals as compared to business consultants. Let’s assume, 75% of IT professionals are in fact shy corresponding to about 15% of business consultants.

Think of the proportion of employees in the firm as the prior odds. Now, think of the shyness as an attribute as the Likelihood. The figure below demonstrates when we take a product of the two, we get posterior odds.

Plugging in the values shows us that Raj is actually twice as likely to be a Business consultant. This proves to us that by applying Bayesian Thinking we can eliminate bias and make a sound judgment.

Now, it would be unrealistic for you to try drawing a diagram or quantifying assumptions in most of the cases. So, how do we learn to apply Bayesian Thinking without quantifying our assumptions? Turns out we could, if we understood what are the underlying principles of Bayesian Thinking are.

Principles of Bayesian Thinking

Rule 1 – Remember your priors!

As we saw earlier how easy it is to fall for the base rate neglect trap. The underlying proportion in the population is often times neglected and we as human beings have a tendency to just focus on just the attribute. Think of priors as the underlying or the background knowledge which is essentially an additional bit of information in addition to the likelihood. A product of the priors together with likelihood determines the posterior odds/probability.

Rule 2 – Question your existing belief

This is somewhat tricky and counter-intuitive to grasp but question your priors. Present yourself with a hypothesis what if your priors were irrelevant or even wrong? How will that affect your posterior probability? Would the new posterior probability be any different than the existing one if your priors are irrelevant or even wrong?

Rule 3 – Update incrementally

We live in a dynamic world where evidence and attributes are constantly shifting. While it is okay to believe in well-tested priors and likelihoods in the present moment. However, always question does my priors & likelihood still hold true today? In other words, update your beliefs incrementally as new information or evidence surfaces. A good example of this would be the shifting sentiments of the financial markets. What holds true today, may not tomorrow? Hence, the priors and likelihoods must also be incrementally updated.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Bayesian Thinking is a powerful tool to hone your judgment skills. Developing Bayesian Thinking essentially tells us what to believe in and how much confident you are about that belief. It also allows us to shift our existing beliefs in light of new information or as the evidence unfolds. Hopefully, you now have a better understanding of Bayesian Thinking and why is it so important.

Upskill and Upgrade: The Mantra for Budding Data Scientists

Posted on by Dexlab

Upskill and Upgrade: The Mantra for Budding Data Scientists

Have the right skills? Then the hottest jobs of the millennium might be waiting for you! The job profiles of data analysts, data scientists, data managers and statisticians harbour great potentials.

However, the biggest challenge in today’s age lies in preparing novice graduates for Industry 4.0 jobs. Although no one has yet cleared which roles will cease to exist and which new roles will be created, the consultants have started advising students to imbibe necessary skills and up-skill in domains that are likely to influence and carve the future jobs. Becoming adaptive is the best way to sail high in the looming technology-dominated future.

Data Science and Future

In this context, data science has proved to be one of the most promising fields of technology and science that exhibits a wide gap between demand and supply yet an absolute imperative across disciplines. “Today there is no shortage of data or computing abilities but there is a shortage of workforce equipped with the right skill set that can interpret data and get valuable insights,” revealed James Abdey, assistant professorial lecturer Statistics, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

He further added that data science is a multidisciplinary field – drawing collectives from Economics, Mathematics, Finance, Statistics and more.

As a matter of fact, anyone, who has the right skill and expertise, can become a data scientist. The required skills are analytical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making aptitude. “As everything becomes data-driven, acquiring analytical and statistical skill sets will soon be imperative for all students, including those pursuing Social Sciences or Liberal Arts and also for professionals,” said Jitin Chadha, founder and director, Indian School of Business and Finance (ISBF).

DexLab Analytics is one of the most prominent deep learning training institutes seated in the heart of Delhi. We offer state-of-the-art in-demand skill training courses to all the interested candidates.

The Challenges Ahead

The dearth of expert training faculty and obsolete curriculum acts as major roadblocks to the success of data science training. Such hindrances cause difficulty in preparing graduates for Industry 4.0. In this regard, Chiraag Mehta from ISBF shared that by increasing international collaborations and intensifying industry-academia connect, they can formulate an effective solution and bring forth the best practices to the classrooms. “With international collaborations, higher education institutes can bring in the latest curriculum while a deeper industry-academia connect including, guest lecturers from industry players and internships will help students relate the theory to real-world applications, ” shared Mehta during an interview with Education Times.

Bayes’ Theorem: A Brief Explanation

Posted on by Dexlab

Bayes’ Theorem: A Brief Explanation

(This is in continuation of the previous blog, which was published on 22nd April, 2019 – www.dexlabanalytics.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-learning-data-science-fundamentals )

In this blog, we’ll try to get a hands-on understanding of the Bayes’ Theorem. While doing so, hopefully we’ll be able to grasp a basic understanding of concepts such as Prior odds ratio, Likelihood ratio and Posterior odds ratio.

Arguably, a lot of classification problems have their root in Bayes’ Theorem. Reverend T. Bayes came up with this superior logical function, which mathematically deducts the probability of an event occurring from a larger set by “flipping” the conditional probabilities.

 


 

Consider,  E1, E2, E3,……..En to be a partition a larger set “S” and now define an Event – A, such that A is a subset of S.

Let the square be the larger set “S” containing mutually exclusive events Ei’s.  Now, let the yellow ring passing through all Ei’s be an event – A.

Using conditional probabilities, we know,

Also, the relationship:

Law of total probability states:

Rearranging the values of  &  gives us the Bayes Theorem:

The values of  are also known as prior probabilities, the event A is some event, which is known to have occurred and the conditional probability   is known as the posterior probability.

Now that, you’ve got the maths behind it, it’s time to visualise its practical application. Bayesian thinking is a method of applying Bayes’ Theorem into a practical scenario to make sound judgements.

The next blog will be dedicated to Bayesian Thinking and its principles.

For now, imagine, there have been news headlines about builders snooping around houses they work in. You’ve got a builder in to work on something in your house. There is room for all sorts of bias to influence you into believing that the builder in your house is also an opportunistic thief.

However, if you were to apply Bayesian thinking, you can deduce that only a small fraction of the population are builders and of that population, a very tiny proportion is opportunistic thieves. Therefore, the probability of the builder in your house being an opportunistic thief is actually a product of the two proportions, which is indeed very-very small.

Technically speaking, we call the resulting posterior odds ratio as a product of prior odds ratio and likelihood ratio. More on applying Bayesian Thinking coming up in the next blog.

In the meantime try this exercise and leave your comments below in the comments section.

In the above example on “snooping builders”, what are your:

  • Ei’s
  • Event – A
  • “S”

Discover Top 5 Data Scientist Archetypes

Data science jobs are labelled as the hottest job of the 21st century. For the last few years, this job profile is indeed gaining accolades. And yes, that’s a good thing! Although much has been said about how to progress towards a successful career as a data scientist, little do we know about the types of data scientists you may come across in the industry! In this blog, we are going to explore the various kinds of data scientists or simply put – the data scientist archetypes found in every organization.

Generalist

This is the most common type of data scientists you find in every industry. The Generalist contains an exemplary mixture of skill and expertise in data modelling, technical engineering, data analysis and mechanics. These data scientists interact with researchers and experts in the team. They are the ones who climb up to the Tier-1 leadership teams, and we aren’t complaining!

Detective

He is the one who is prudent and puts enough emphasis on data analysis. This breed of data scientists knows how to play with the right data, incur insights and derive conclusions. The researchers say, with an absolute focus on analysis, a detective is familiar with numerous engineering and modelling techniques and methods.

Maker

The crop of data scientists who are obsessed with data engineering and architecture are known as the Makers. They know how to transform a petty idea into concrete machinery. The core attribute of a Maker is his knowledge in modelling and data mechanisms, and that’s what makes the project reach heights of success in relatively lesser time.

Enrol in one of the best data science courses in Gurgaon from DexLab Analytics.

Oracle

Having mastered the art and science of machine learning, the Oracle data scientist is rich in experience and full of expertise. Tackling the meat of the problem cracks the deal. Also called as data ninjas, these data scientists possess the right know how of how to deal with specific tools and techniques of analysis and solve crucial challenges. Elaborate experience in data modelling and engineering helps!

Unicorn

The one who runs the entire data science team and is the leader of the team is the Unicorn. A Unicorn data scientist is reckoned to be a data ninja or an expert in all aspects of data science domain and stays a toe ahead to nurture all the data science nuances and concepts. The term is basically a fusion version of all the archetypes mentioned above weaved together – the job responsibility of a data unicorn is impossible to suffice, but it’s a long road, peppered with various archetypes as a waypoint.

Data Analysts Facilitate Solutions for Stakeholders

“Business analysis involves understanding how organizations function to accomplish their purposes and defining the capabilities an organization requires to provide products and services to external stakeholders,” shares International Institute of Business Analysis in its BABOK Guide.

The main job of a business analyst is to understand the current situation of a company and facilitate a respective solution to the problem. Mostly, a team of analysts work with the stakeholders to define their business goals and extract what they expect to be delivered. They gather a long range of business-fulfilled conditions and capabilities, document them in a collection and then eventually frame and strategize a plausible solution.

Analysts Have a Multifaceted Job Role

Mostly, they wear many hats as the tasks of analysts are widely versatile and always changing. Below, we have mentioned a few most common job responsibilities they have to perform every day:

  • Understand and analyze business needs
  • Address a business problem
  • Construe information from stakeholders
  • Fulfill model requirements
  • Facilitate solutions
  • Project management
  • Project development
  • Ensure quality testing

The Title ‘Business Analyst’ Hardly Matters

As a matter of fact, the title ‘business analyst’ doesn’t matter much. To fulfill the role of a ‘business analyst’, you don’t have to an analyst at the first place. Many execute the tasks as part of their existing role – data analysts, user experience specialists, change managers and process analysts – each one of them can feature business analyst behaviour.

Put simply, you don’t have to be a business analyst to do the job of a business analyst.

Business Analysts Act As Interpreters

As always, different stakeholders have different goals, needs and knowledge regarding their businesses. Stakeholders can be anyone – managers to end users, vendors to customers, developers to testers, subject matter experts, architects and more. So, it depends on the analysts to bring together all this knowledge and analyze the information gathered. This, in turn, offers a clear understanding of company goals and vision. It bridges the gap between the business and IT.

For this and more, business analysts are often compared with interpreters. Just the way the latter translates French into English – analysts too translate their stakeholders’ query and needs into a language that IT professionals can easily grasp.

Hope this comprehensive list of thoughts has helped you understand what analysts do in general!
