but I mean--it takes a long time to train (i) math stats, (ii) causal inference, (iii) basic programming,
-
(iv) data engineering, (v) forgetting trad stats + learning ML. and field not specialized yet, so
-
at least a passing familiarity with each of these things is important. (I think? that's my read..)
-
causal inference is optional and overkill for most applied things
-
most data science is "throw a random forest at it"
-
probably my microeconometrics bias showing. tho my old employer is all about causality these days afaik
-
I think the syllabus for http://alex.smola.org/teaching/berkeley2012/ … is more or less right
-
in 2017 there would be smth in there about neural nets & recommendation would be factorization machines
