These 7 statistical analysis concepts have helped me as an AI Data Scientist.

Step 1: Learn These Descriptive Statistics
Mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation. Used to summarize data and spot variability. These are key for any data scientist to understand what’s in front of them in their data sets.

2. Learn Probability
Know your distributions (Normal, Binomial) & Bayes’ Theorem. The backbone of modeling and reasoning under uncertainty. Central Limit Theorem is a must too.

3. Hypothesis Testing:
P-values, confidence intervals, t-tests. Learn how to validate findings and quantify uncertainty. Don’t skip Type I/II errors—they’re real-world pitfalls. Type 2 errors especially.

4. Correlation:
Pearson or Spearman coefficients show relationships, but causation isn’t guaranteed. Watch for confounders to avoid bad calls. Pearson alone has helped me identify tons of business insights.

5. Regression:
Linear for prediction, logistic for classification. Master coefficients, R-squared, and assumptions (normality, linearity).

6. Experimental Design:
Random sampling, A/B testing, statistical power. Get the setup right or your conclusions will crumble. Sample size matters.

7. Practical Stats Transformations:
Outlier detection (IQR, z-scores), data transformations (log, standardize). Clean, prep, and interpret like a pro.

8. There's a new problem that has surfaced that is changing data science-- Companies NOW want AI.
Yet 99% of data scientists are ignoring it.
That's a huge advantage to you. I'd like to help.
