Experts, please I need your help.

The Seaborn output from my tutorial is different from the one on my Jupyter Notebook.

First Image: The Seaborn output from the tutorial I am using to learn.

Second Image: The Seaborn output from my Jupyter Notebook.

Is there something I am doing wrong or do I need to tweak the settings somewhere?

Your input appreciated.

Nice submission but you have to take it easy boss. I have a feeling that we have some things in common. When I started with Python last year September, my goal was just to do data analysis. When I 'finished' mastering the fundamentals of descriptive and inferential statistics, I said to myself; this can't be the end of it so I started learning about ML, then DL and I became obsessed with CV and NLP. After getting a solid understanding of DL, I said to myself; this can't be the end so I made some research and found out how ML/DL models can be turned to web/mobile apps so I started learning web dev (backend and fronend) till I gained proficiency in it and started building my portfolio. My next target is to start contributing to open source projects (most especially, NLP).

I think for anyone to be come a master (I mean not working for someone your entire life) in this tech space, one has to be curious and be innovative at the same time.

For anyone that wants to go deep into DS, don't listen to anyone telling you to focus on some aspects and ignore some. Get a standard learning path (check Analytics Vidhiya) and stay focused while you climb the ladder.

Between, could you please quote me with the link to that Edureka video on excel?. I don't really like their courses but let me try this one since you found it interesting. Thanks!

We need to be careful when dishing advice.

We get it! You are a bookworm, you can't help it, we understand, but be careful with your advice. Ejiod already explained the process of becoming a data scientist.

How?
By FIRST becoming a data analyst. You do not need to understand the intricacies of advanced statistics (or ML) to become a data analyst. What you need is

1. basic mathematics (statistics),

2. basic intuition of how ML algos work(they've been written in packages already for your usage). Kiril eremenko did a great job on that on udemy. Just get the course for free and learn the intuition with how and when to use it.

3. Excel,PowerBI(because it's cheaper for companies to integrate as most companies rely on Microsoft products and it's simply advanced excel) and or Tableau (or any other visualization tools). Tableau is a bit expensive though

4. SQL (T-Sql/MySQL/P-SQL) they are all 90% the same. Learn MySQL and the rest will become a breeze!

5. A programming language (Python/R/Julia, etc). You don't need to know all the functions of the language, just learn the basics and the necessary libraries for now (trust me, there'll be plenty of time to dive deeper into these languages later!)

After you're pretty solid on the above, start applying for jobs (junior data analyst or Business Intelligence Analyst).

Or if you want a higher pay,
Immerse yourself in MSSQL (Data warehouse tools)
I.e
Learn


T-SQL (Microsoft customized SQL)

SSRS (pretty deprecated, but many companies still use it for reporting. To be frank, modern visuals like PBI, Tableau are taking over.dont spend too much of your time here)

SSIS -makes your life easier, as it reduces the amount of dml you need write. It's very easy.

SSAS - same.


Spend your time learning the above and you'll begin to earn a lot.

Because if you spend your time going though the Forever learning path, you're gonna be a jack of all trades yet a master of none.

If you need to feed, get a job with excel,powerBI/tableau,SQL,Python/R
then learn the remain (Statistics, ML-DL) on the job as required.

Else, you go HUNGRY


This is barely my 3rd month into data analysis and I've gotten some interviews already... No time to waste, as you need to survive...

My 2cents

Marveaux:

Kind sir,please do you know any books I can read to have a good theoretical knowledge of ML/DL?Not books about Data science as related to ML/DL(i.e python libraries),but more of the concepts of ML/DL as a whole.
Thanks.

AnalysisGuru:
Good day guys, does anyone know where to download a well structured PHP and JavaScript video, or do you know any sound teacher by name on them either on YouTube or elsewhere?

Thanks in advanve

when you click on enter it opens in your chrome right??

please domain should put me through working with Jupyter....when I installed the anaconder I was able to launch jupyter with it and ran hello world through chrome but now I am trying to open the navigator this is what it is showing me

nwele2017:

learn what i have listed
Excel ,pandas , SQL ,statistics ,tableau or power bi
That's only what you need to become a data analyst any where in the World.many people are running into Data science thinking that it is self heaven and sexiest job of 2020 but, they don't know there is high demand of Data analyst than a Data scientist. Even software engineers are in high demand than data scientist.

A standard firm can employ tens of software engineers, 5 to six data analysts and only one Data scientist.
Am not discouraging people from learning data science; i just want to be realistic , this is what is obtainable in the industry .it is just like playing the devils game.
There is high demand of Data analyst and software engineers than data science.
I will tell you that data science is like a bubble that will soon burst. people see data science like a black box that can solve any problem but in reality it's a lie, the problem data science algorithm can solve is limited.And also data science i not all about knowing algorithm.
There are more to data science than knowing algorithm, understanding the context of industry you are working and also communicating the result visually and orally is also important.
The sure and easiest way of becoming a data scientist is to become a data analyst or business intelligence analyst and by doing this you become acquainted with problem that is need to be solved.

Hello enthusiasts,

Can anyone please point me to a good YouTube video that major on:

1. Data science with the use of jupyter notebook please.

2. Data analysis with the use of Microsoft excel.

I need am pass anything please....

So many driven contributors. Cool.

Anyone on here taking up challenges on Kaggle?

noob03saibot:
please bro, I will like to ask two questions, is it possible for me to download anaconda, jupyter notebook on my system while I have pycharm installed too without having any issues or I should first uninstall pycharm ? The thing is, I started with pycharm last month and I will like to switch over to jupyter. And in the advanced option page when installing anaconda, should I click on add anaconda to my path environment variable, or leave it as it is? Thanks in advance

Get Tableau 10 A-Z: Hands-On Tableau Training For Data Science and Tableau 10 Advanced Training: Master Tableau In Data Science by Kirill Eremenko . These two videos will surely help .

Ejiod:

They do the same. However TABLEAU has been the boss for the past 8yrs in data visualization.
PowerBI is like a new kid in the block. Though I like powerBI for one thing which is DAX syntax which has edge over TABLEAU

Ejiod:


1st given their data to work on from home.
2nd was given their data plus theory which was executed in their office
3rd was given their data which I also did from home.

Just understand the data being thrown at you is to check whether you are capable or not and to know how you think about data. Questions on the data are always direct

Ejiod:

Please can you create a separate thread for this. It’s not allowed here. We support any content users can easily get without hidden fee. This thread is for people to share their journey through data science and help younger ones.

Ejiod:

Funny enough it was through YouTube channel and when I was a web developer. I started by testing different cases on a web app just to fish out bugs. It was purely functional testing. Started growing up in testing API...
My best framework was katalon studio and Selenium before I started with SoapUI and postman. Truth be told, software testing is cool when you understand the architectural design of an app and you knowing little web stuff plus little code. These days software testing pays good but you need work it out by running many iterations just to beat bugs in a system.

Good evening everyone,
Please is there anyone here who can mentor me on how to apply for abroad scholarships? Especially US and Canada. It will help my 'moving on'

Thanks.

Same here bro.. Homeless,Jobless, will be 27 this March(Highly worried over this).. despite graduating at the early age of 22. I have lost count of interviews I have been to.Will get to final stages but never get the job.Seems I am just pouring water inside a basket..nothing seems to just be working for me. Dont even know what to do anymore. I am still hoping on Jehovah God.

Jesus!! You took that so seriously....wow!!...It is well with all of us

TWoods:


If a faceless forum member who you’ve never met and who has zero access to you, is able to “kill your dreams” (whatever that means), then you are the problem.

Yeah sure... you should get a hold of a bible and read it first before claiming “testimonies”... you all make Nigerian “Christians” look like the hypocrites they are.

TWoods:


Ok? Anything more earth shattering you would like to share?

Next you hypocrites will be offering “testimonies”. Lol!
