#248: The Fundamentally Fascinating World of APIs with Marco Palladino 1:07:45

3d ago1:07:45

1:07:45

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are as pervasive as they are critical to the functioning of the modern world. That personalized and content-rich product page with a sub-second load time on Amazon? That's just a couple-hundred API calls working their magic. Every experience on your mobile device? Loaded with APIs. But, just because they're…

Thankfully we had Helen Crossley, Senior Director of Marketing Science at Meta, join Michael, Moe, and Val to dive deep into this topic!

From running a controlled experiment to running a linear regression. From eyeballing a line chart to calculating the correlation of first differences. From performing a cluster analysis because that’s what the business partner asked for to gently probing for details on the underlying business question before agreeing to an approach.

1:00:26

You know you’ve arrived as a broadcast presence when you open up the phone lines and get your first, “Long time listener, first time caller” person dialing in. Apparently, we have not yet arrived, because no one opened with that when they sent in their questions for this show. Our question is: why not?! Alas! That is a question not answered on this…

#244: Data Is Everywhere. Why Do We Limit Ourselves by Default? 1:01:18

2M ago1:01:18

1:01:18

In order to produce a stellar analysis, have you ever requested a team to teardown a Tesla and count every last washer and battery cell? No? Well our guest this week, Jason DeRise, joined Tim, Julie, and Val to share that story and others on how alternative data can be used to enrich analyses. Luckily you don’t have to have a Wall Street-sized budg…

#243: Being Data-Driven: a Statistical Process Control Perspective with Cedric Chin 1:14:19

2M ago1:14:19

1:14:19

It happens occasionally. Someone in the business decides they need to just take the analysis into their own hands. That leaves the analyst conflicted — love the interest and enthusiasm, but cringe at the risk of misuse or misinterpretation. Occasionally (rarely!), though, such a person goes so deep that they come out the other side having internali…

#242: The Rise and Fall of Data Communities with Pedram Navid 58:36

3M ago58:36

58:36

Data communities have played a major role in the careers of many analysts, but times they are a-changin’. We’re not sure if we’re different, if the communities’ purposes and missions have shifted, or both. One thing we are confident in, though, is that Pedram Navid was absolutely the right guest to invite on to the show to explore the topic alongsi…

#241: The Analyst’s Underutilized Tool: the Sketchbook with Dan White 1:05:24

3M ago1:05:24

1:05:24

As a general rule, analysts are drawn to precision: let’s understand the business problem and then go figure out how the data can be acquired and crunched to provide something specific and useful. Fair enough. Where, then, do pencil and paper and 10-second sketches fit in? Or hastily and collaboratively drawn flippy chart or whiteboard sketches? We…

They say an analysis is only as good as the question that was asked, so for our 2024 International Women's Day Episode, Julie, Moe, and Val were joined by Taylor Buonocore Guthrie to discuss how to ask better questions. Every analyst is naturally curious, but the thoughtfulness that Taylor puts into what type of questions to ask, how to ask them, a…

#239: Non-Technical Backgrounds in the Modern Analytical World with Kirsten Lum 1:02:39

1:02:39

Is it just us, or does it seem like we're going to need to start plotting the pace of change in the world of analytics on a logarithmic scale? The evolution of the space is exciting, but it can also be a bit dizzying. And intimidating! There's so much to learn, and there are only so many hours in a day!

The data has problems. It ALWAYS has problems. Sometimes they're longstanding and well-documented issues that the analyst deeply understands but that regularly trip up business partners. Sometimes they're unexpected interruptions in the data flowing through a complex tech stack. Sometimes they're a dashboard that needs to have its logic tweaked whe…

#237: Crossing the Chasm from the Data to Meaningful Outcomes with Kathleen Maley 1:04:44

1:04:44

The backlog of data requests keeps growing. The dashboards are looking like they might collapse under their own weight as they keep getting loaded with more and more data requested by the business. You're taking in requests from the business as efficiently as you can, but it just never ends, and it doesn't feel like you're delivering meaningful bus…

Aptiv, Baidu, Cerebras, Dataiku… we could keep going… and going… and going. If you know what this list is composed of (nerd), then you probably have some appreciation for how complex and fast moving the AI landscape is today.

For those who celebrate or acknowledge it, Christmas is now in the rearview mirror. Father Time has a beard that reaches down to his toes, and he’s ready to hand over the clock to an absolutely adorable little Baby Time when 2024 rolls in.
