Preface
This is a personal blog for my exploration and notes on statistics and data science study.
The site is created with github and the repository is forked from my
dear teacher Zhichao Luo http://rokia.org/.
Hearful thanks to him who introduced to me the immense possibilities in
computational statistics and offer me generous help along this trip.
When I chose statistics as my minor in university, I regarded it as
merely a more promising - by “promising” I mostly mean financially -
profession than my major in Enlish.
Well, I still think so. While I gradually came to appreciate Statistics
as a subject that is rigorous and creative at the same time, and find it
an incredibly elegant as well as pragmatic means of problem solving.
Even before I realize, my utilitarian decision became a serious choice for my profession and future career. It’s hard to mention certain significant tuning point, and I won’t say it’s a completely inspirational story. However, I enjoy it most of the time, and I am really glad I did push myself a bit to achieve what I am now.
It’s my third week in LA. It’s an amazing city, and I found studying at UCLA a terrific decision especially after I met my peers who are so outstanding, determined and interesting. I feel exciting and proud to be a part of this community, and also pressured.
I am determined to get on with the journey, and I set up this blog to record my gains, to motivate further and countinuous effort, and to communicate with other learners.
