Tools like #chatgpt & github #copilot can help debug complex code and replace Googling + Stack Overflowing for common scripting.
Key skill: ChatGPT prompting (more on this in my free ChatGPT for Data Scientists)
2. Code Quality & Documentation
Great products have great documentation. AI can help produce documentation, comment code, and replace time-consuming manual documentation with automated AI docs.
A new paper shows how you can predict real purchase intent without asking people.
~90% of human test–retest reliability.
Here's what's inside the 28 page paper:
1. Problem with direct Likert from LLMs:
When you ask LLMs to output 1–5 ratings directly, the distributions are too narrow/skewed and don’t look like human survey data, limiting usefulness for concept testing.
Have the LLM write a short free-text purchase-intent statement, then map that text onto a 5-point Likert score using embedding cosine similarity to predefined anchor sentences (i.e., semantic matching instead of raw numbers).
Understanding P-Values is essential for improving regression models.
In 2 minutes, I'll crush your confusion.
1. The p-value:
A p-value in statistics is a measure used to assess the strength of the evidence against a null hypothesis.
2. Null Hypothesis (H₀):
The null hypothesis is the default position that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena or no association among groups. For example, under H₀, the regressor does not affect the outcome.
Understanding probability is essential in data science.

1. Statistical Distributions:
There are 100s of distributions to choose from when modeling data. Choices seem endless. Use this as a guide to simplify the choice.
2. Discrete Distributions:
Discrete distributions are used when the data can take on only specific, distinct values. These values are often integers, like the number of sales calls made or the number of customers that converted.
