Data Modeling Mind Map

September 20, 2023

Hey team!
I hope everyone is enjoying their day. I just finished reading through this book, "An Introduction to Statistical Learning," and felt it helpful to compose a mind map! There were so many vocabulary terms, definitions, categories and the like so this helped me process all the information discussed. Perhaps it's the school teacher in me, but I love a good summative assessment. Mind maps are particularly useful in gaining a bird's-eye view on many concepts and the connections among them. With the help of authors James, Witten, Hastie, and Tibshirani, along with a healthy heaping of Google search engine requests, I created this map of data science modeling techinques. These techniques are commonly used to maximize information gain from minimal data. I am SURE there is room for improvement in this map - many connections, definitions, terms, and categories that could be included and/or revised - so I will be revisiting this map often as I continue to learn. If you notice a revision opportunity, please let me know via email! I appreciate any and all advise you are willing to give. I hope you can gain something (positive) from studying my map! Thanks!
