I really like this quote from @FCentinello — it makes perfect sense to me… “Cynicism isn’t intelligence, and it doesn’t offer solutions because it's really just mentally tapping out. Curiosity is the muscle that discovers, builds, and explores.” Be curious! That’s how we are built. Just watch any small child — always testing, exploring, curious. That’s a natural-born scientific instinct.

XGBoost for Regression, Predictive Modeling, and Time Series Analysis — Learn how to build, evaluate, & deploy predictive models: amzn.to/4l2YcU9 v/ @PacktDataML — My review: 🟠XGBoost is definitely the focal point and central contribution of this book, along with all those other things: Regression Trees, Predictive Modeling, Time Series Analysis, and Forecasting. 🟠This book’s added value comes in its thorough progression from start to finish with comprehensive coverage of all the major steps and issues in data science and machine learning modeling: data cleaning, imbalanced data, feature engineering, feature engineering pipeline, feature importance, categorical data encoding, model interpretability and explainability, ensembles, model training, model evaluation metrics, hyperparameter tuning, model deployment, and more - including a quick-start case study starter project that feeds into next-level projects. 🟠I highly recommend this broadly useful book for all levels of practitioners.

Benford’s Law: link.amazon/B09tTKmEH Fraud detection is just one of its many practical powerful applications! Amazon Summary: “This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of Benford's law, the surprising logarithmic distribution of significant digits discovered in the late nineteenth century. Establishing the mathematical and statistical principles that underpin this intriguing phenomenon, the text combines up-to-date theoretical results with overviews of the law’s colorful history, rapidly growing body of empirical evidence, and wide range of applications. An Introduction to Benford’s Law begins with basic facts about significant digits, Benford functions, sequences, and random variables, including tools from the theory of uniform distribution. After introducing the scale-, base-, and sum-invariance characterizations of the law, the book develops the significant-digit properties of both deterministic and stochastic processes, such as iterations of functions, powers of matrices, differential equations, and products, powers, and mixtures of random variables. Two concluding chapters survey the finitely additive theory and the flourishing applications of Benford’s law. Carefully selected diagrams, tables, and close to 150 examples illuminate the main concepts throughout. The text includes many open problems, in addition to dozens of new basic theorems and all the main references. A distinguishing feature is the emphasis on the surprising ubiquity and robustness of the significant-digit law. This text can serve as both a primary reference and a basis for seminars and courses.”
