Confessions of a Data Scientist

Dr. Ron Schack has recently completed a book, Confessions of a Data Scientist…or Warrior-Priest? Lessons from 25 Years of Data Science, Performance Measurement, and Decision Support. The book is available on Amazon and Lulu.com. Delve into the mind of a well-regarded, experienced (and perhaps slightly “twisted”) data scientist…Let Dr. Schack share some of his analytic arsenal, while regaling you with stories of his data science journey-- challenging situations, abject failures, and rousing successes…Read how Kant’s Ding un Sich, Sun-Tzu’s Art of War, Col. Boyd’s OODA Loop, and Egon Brunswik’s Len’s Model all inform your work as data scientists. The book provides insight into many challenging areas of data science, performance measurement and decision support work.  It is intended for people who are interested in data science / analytics / performance measurement work, or who are already working in the field. The book provides plain language explanations of some concepts that  are often misunderstood and/or misused, or that many data scientists may not have encountered (but may be helpful to them), and includes  numerous examples, easy to follow “data recipes,” as well as some important tips.
