It has been almost a year since I've posted, and a lot has happened in that time. First, I have been pursuing a MS in statistics in addition to my full time work. This has unfortunately led to putting my new business on hold until further notice. If/when I get a better handle on my own schedule and can start devoting the requisite time again, the business will hopefully take off.
The purpose of this post is actually just to share a link to something that I'm planning on pursuing in addition to my current educational efforts. Will Wolf has a great post on his blog about doing an "open source machine learning masters" that I am going to start working through. In my current role, I mostly do financial risk analysis but I'm working with a group of really bright and talented people on expanding our scope. We are creating an analytics team that will build out some tools to comb through data with the goal of integrating machine learning techniques to our current processes. This move toward data science and statistical learning is why I started on my stats MS, and it's something I'm really excited about. I'm hoping this blog can help keep me honest and focused on working through the program as Will describes in the link below. I am probably going to modify some of this as I go (it is open source, right?!), but for now I'm just hoping to get started.
