A Month of Kaggle, part 1
Becoming a data science requires practicing with real-world problems. Kaggle is a website that has real data science competitions where anyone can work on and improve their data science skills. In the first half of the meetup, we will cover the key skills needed to tackle Kaggle competitions:
Modeling
Data analysis
Handling missing data
How to get help when stuck
Next, each of us will get hands-on training by working on the Titanic competition: https://www.kaggle.com/c/titanic.
