Mindfully Statistics

In this series, I am going to write about 3 things which made my jaws drop recently.

  1. Goodness of fit - a magic number
  2. Looking at a data, how can we answer questions on whether there is an association between various types of data. For eg: in an office, is there an association between gender and salary? In a real estate market, is there an association between the age of the cars and its prices? Is there an association between literacy and voting?
  3. Some very basic definitions in statistics - which might fall into two or three blog posts.

Trying out Carbon

I used to have this habit of writing quick reference notes during my college days and I am trying to do it for code these days. But my laziness stops me from doing that & I post these on my blog itself. For a change, thanks to my laziness. This time I am trying out something trendy and colorful instead of my regular cheat sheets:) Carbon!

In the new app that I am developing, I am using Room to store data. Room is an abstraction over SQLite. As a relatively new developer on Android, one of the difficulties that I faced with Room was to view the saved data. The data is saved on our phone and how do we view this DB?

Getting Started with Google Colab

Does technology distract you? As far as I am concerned, the answer is yes. Since the time I completed two nano degrees (one on Android Basics and another on Data Analysis) from Udacity, I keep switching between Data and Android. I recently got another scholarship,but considering the advices of my well-wishers, I have finally decided to let go of the scholarship and focus on Android alone. Also, listening to my inner voice to stay focused. ;)

Moving to a new platform - Hello from Github Pages :)

Hello World, I have been blogging since Sept, 2009. I started blogging by jotting down my personal world views in my mother tongue, Malayalam. The first platform I used was blogger. Even now, blogger is one of my favourite platforms for casual blogging and I still have my lastest blog posts in Malayalam going into blogger. I gradually started writing on medium with my semi-technical blogs, which focussed on a bit of tech and more of techno-managerial stuffs. Those blogs were used as a medium of self expression and the only targetted audience were probably my friends and my close circle in tech and never made an attempt to promote them to the next level.
