Profile Summary

I specialize in cleaning and modeling data. Data cleaned using Pandas and Python data stack to give tidy (as defined by tidyverse) data, all values except freeform text assigned a specific data type, data dictionary included as part of cleaning. Modeling includes all regression, classification, and clustering analyses as well as single or multivariate statistical analysis (such as ANOVA/MANOVA). Unless otherwise specified, 10% of the observations in the original dataset will be withheld as validation data and will only be analyzed once to avoid overfitting.
