This Week's News in Data

Insight of the Week

'“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”

Sherlock Holmes, a.k.a. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

What I've Been Up To...

  1. This week on Medium I discussed the surprising difference between business analysts and data analysts. Full story here

  2. ICYMI (in case you missed it) - last week I shared a tutorial for beginner data analysts on how to create a bar graph in Plotly, Seaborn, and Matplotlib. You can still find it here.

  3. I posted two new datasets on Kaggle this week, both of which earned medals. Check out the Video Games Sales by Genre dataset for a simplified dataset to practice visualizations and the Lottery Winning Numbers dataset for an interesting opportunity for exploratory data analysis.
