The computer I am currently using to write the book and develop associated scripts has the following specs: Now, this is a fairly high-end desktop, but nothing extraordinary. Notice the 64 GB installed RAM. More RAM is typically the cheapest way you can upgrade an existing computer. A lot of the emerging predictive modeling / […]

My goal in this ebook is to get you most of the way towards creating powerful predictive models in a very short span of time, regardless of your prior experience! Features that make this book valuable There are many great resources, in print or on-line, for learning about Predictive Modeling. The following ideas make this […]
There is a revolution happening in analytics and Artificial Intelligence (Ai) is at its center. My goal with this post is to catch you up on the 80-year history of Ai by the time I finish my coffee. Fair warning, I do take longer than some! The idea of non-human intelligence has been around since […]
Your Anaconda install includes Python. Please follow this link in order to install Anaconda & run a test ordinary linear least-squares regression using Python. Link: Install Anaconda & run OLS using Python
In this post you will: Install Anaconda Get Started with Anaconda Navigator Run a basic python command in a notebook Time to complete should be less than 30 minutes Anaconda is one of the fastest ways to install Python, R, Jupyter etc. It is essentially a software manager that will install and help you organize […]
In this post you will: Install Julia [will take approx. 10 minutes] Instantiate the Julia kernel from within a Jupyter notebook (using Anaconda Navigator + Jupyter Lab) [~3 minutes] Run Ordinary Least Squares Regression [~5 minutes] Prerequisites: The following posts may be good to review before this one: Installing Anaconda Julia is an exciting new(ish) computer […]
In order to practice predictive modeling you need a great way to work with the data. Microsoft SQL (MS SQL) is an excellent choice for data management system in my experience. The great news is that what you need to get up and running with MS SQL is available for free! The short video below goes […]
The concepts that I am referring to as blueprinting and prototype are hardly deserving of such fancy titles. And what I am about to write hardly deserves it’s own post. Yet these incredibly simple, yet powerful, concepts deserve any coder’s attention. Blueprinting Before you write any code, spend some time describing a blueprint of what you want […]
