Hi! I'm David West.

This site showcases my data science
projects and skills.

Portfolio

This collection of analyses were made using the statistical programming language, R. The purpose of each project is to analyze one data set and either develop a web application or create a predictive machine learning model from it. Each web application will allow the user to interactively explore a data set through an intuitive user interface. Each machine learning project will follow a common structure. It will start with an initial exploratory data analysis (EDA). The EDA will be filled with data visualizations and inital Q&As to help understand a data set. The EDA is then followed by a model exploration. Different machine learning alogrithms will be used to create predictive models. Models will then be compared against each other and the most accurate predictive model will be determined. The conclusion section will provide an executive summary for each project. Each web application and machine learning project will have its own repository on my github.
