Learning & Building in Data Science Sharing my journey as I pave my own path through the world of data science
Hi there!
You have found one of the best places to level up your data science skills and learn how to make better data-driven decisions.
My name is Joleen, I’m a data scientist and writer and I use this blog to share my passion for data science and statistics.
Blog Every week, I post new articles on data science, statistics and business intelligence. Here are my latest articles.
The Goldilocks Rule for Data Science Learning
I first discovered the Goldilocks Rule in the book Atomic Habits by James Clear where he says: “The Goldilocks Rule states that humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of their current abilities. Not too hard. Not too easy. Just right.” James Clear When you take on projects […]
An Introduction to Synthetic Data

In this blog post I will be exploring synthetic data […]
Linear & Polynomial Regression: Exploring Some Red Flags For Models That Underfit
In this first project of 2022, I will be fitting linear and polynomial regression models to some randomly generated dataset where there is a nonlinear relationship between the target and the predictor. The purpose of this project is to observe some of the red flags for a model that is severely underfitting to the data […]
