If you were to give recommendations to your "little brother/sister" on things that they need to do to become a data scientist, what would those things be?
I think the "Data Science Venn Diagram" (http://drewconway.com/zia/2013/3/26/the-data-science-venn-diagram) is a great place to start. You need three things to be a good data scientist:
| write.Hmisc.SPSS = function(data, datafile, codefile) { | |
| ## Write an SPSS file from R with variable labels from the Hmisc package | |
| # source: | |
| # http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10181730/information-from-label-attribute-in-r-to-variable-labels-in-spss/10261534#10261534 | |
| # EXAMPLE DATA (see: http://stackoverflow.com/q/10181730/1270695) | |
| # | |
| # If you do not want to alter your original file, as in the example above, | |
| # and if you are connected to the internet while you are using this function, | |
| # you can try this self-contained function: |
| # forked from hadley/recode.R | |
| # https://gist.github.com/hadley/2751ba61d1c7f4eaacab | |
| recode_to <- function(df, ..., match = c("first", "last")) { | |
| match <- match.arg(match) | |
| cases <- lapply(list(...), as.case) | |
| if (identical(match, "last")) cases <- rev(cases) | |
| n <- nrow(df) |
