Welcome - Let’s Get Statistical!
Hi there! I’m Shamindra Shrotriya, a graduate student in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the wonderful Carnegie Mellon University. I’ve decided to start blogging to document my learning and development in statistics as a graduate student.
I’d like it to be a fun place to document interesting things I like to read about in the statistics and machine learning space (statistical theory/methodology, research, rstats, python …) as well as anything else I am generally into e.g. books, sports etc.
Feel free to pull up a chair, leave a comment, and join me so that we can explore together.
You can also learn more about me from my CV, résumé, and open-source software contributions.
Credits
The credit to starting this blog goes to the following people. I hope to not disappoint and create some useful content here 🖖.
- The Rstudio team - for co-developing the fantastic
quartopackage upon which this site is based. - Rachel Thomas for posting this fantastic blog post encouraging people like me to (finally!) create a blog
- My parents for encouraging to communicate my passion for statistics. I secretly think that this is their way of minimizing my passionate rants about the bootstrap in our regular Skype chats (the rants will still continue though…😄).
