Data Science Consultant
Responsibilities:
- Contributed extensively to three major projects and assumed responsibility for various components of other projects
- Used Survival Analysis techniques to design a predictive classifier for the client s customer retention rate of his business customer loyalty program
- Conducted multiple tests of probability distributions and settled on the Geometric Distribution as the base classifier
- Improved the base classifier s predictive accuracy by combining it with the Beta Distribution, resulting in a Beta-Geometric probability distribution
- Constructed a predictive model to forecast sales revenues from the marketing campaign of a new product
- Assessed the model-fitness of multiple probability distributions and selected the Exponential Distribution for the base classifier
- Improved the base classifier s predictive accuracy by combining it with the Gamma Distribution, resulting in a Gamma-Exponential mixed probability distribution
- Enhanced the advocacy capacity of a Non-profit Organization by providing empirical, statistical insight that reinforced the client s policy proposition
- Conducted multiple tests to approximate the data distribution s functional form and address issues such as Omission Variable and Exact Multi-Collinearity Biases; Also enhanced model accuracy through the addition of Interaction and Indicator Variables
- Ran hypotheses tests to assess the validity of the model s parameter coefficients
