INTRESTING REVIEW FROM ‘SCOTT MONGEAU’- PRINCIPAL DATA SCIENTIST – GOOGLE

 “ Apparently, there Was a case where a guy came in and within 30 minutes had assimilated the data,
resolved the variables, deployed 15 different machine learning models (including ensemble
techniques), and ran comprehensive diagnostics to select the best model.

He submitted his results and walked away with the best model whereas most of the others were still
working on getting their data situated in R or Python.

Even if you have an expendable army of eager techs that will put in 70+ hours a week chasing the
Pied Piper dream of start-up riches, there are natural inefficiencies in mucking about with code and
scripting when you need to blast through common tasks, configure and deploy hundreds of models,
and perform comprehensive like-to-like diagnostics.

 Give some thought to ROI: instead of hiring five recent graduates to stumble about in the dark with R
for 6 months, hire a single SAS expert, or even bring in a consultant and train a student to maintain
the resulting models.”
