I’ll be using this site to hold my feet to the fire re: various data projects.

The idea is to track progress via periodic posts. Put another way, to shame myself into sticking with my extracurricular data science efforts. I’ll try and use R Markdown and posting progress via Github.

There’ll be no beta mode here, I’m just going to dive in and keep it simple at the start. I expect to do a few small projects every month or two. Nothing too intense — the value I bring to this stuff isn’t a mastery of coding but an understanding of causality and, with it, some insight into what a given analysis might be able to tell us and what it can’t.

Along the way I’ll toss in some useful data visualization. And while I won’t aim quite this high I’ll try and make it fun.
