Dataists (Hilary Mason and friends)

1. Obtain
2. Scrub
3. Explore
4. Model (build a Model) - Write an equation or code that describes the process just based on the data
5. Interpret

Hilary Mason's Advanced Machine Learning Video from O'reilly

"Today's approach to problem solving"

1. Motivation (understand the problem from human point of view
2. Look at realistic data (coming from real apis and web applications)
3. Explore the potential solutions (different algorithmic approaches)
4. Make the solution work

Colin Mallows

0. Identify data to collect and its relevance to your problem
1. Statistical specification of the problem
2. Method selection
3. Analysis of method
4. Interpret results for non-statisticians

Jim Gray

1. Capture
2. Curate
3. Communicate

Ted Johnson

1. Assemble an accurate and relevant data set
2. Choose the appropriate algorithm
