This used to be me when I was first learning linear regression. ๐
But here's what's changed for me. ๐งต

I always thought it was funny how in the stats books, they'd always tell you of this magical P-Value level of 0.05.
You either reject (p > 0.05) or fail to reject (keep it when p <= 0.05).
So naturally, I'd do whatever I could to get my p-values under 0.05.

So what changed?
I started learning machine learning and actually seeing that my model performance would improve with features that had p-values greater than 0.05.
Wait, what?!
Wait, what?!
This magical p-value was actually costing me good information?!!!
Yup.
Yup.
So fast-forward to today. I still use Linear Regression...
...But, I make more accurate forecasts and churn models using new algorithms like XGBoost & H2O.
And what's cool is these algorithms will help you.

These algorithms penalize bad features so we don't have to drop them cold-turkey style like with Linear Regression.
You just have to know how to use these algorithms.
Anyways, I guess what I'm saying is...

It took me painfully long to learn secrets like this. Like 5-years.
And, I don't want you to have to take EONS to learn too.

In fact, I'd like to help you.
I put together a free webinar - It's 40-minutes of training on the 10 secrets that took me 5 years to learn on my path to becoming a data scientist.

Literally what worked, and what mistakes to avoid in your path.
I cover all of it in one value-packed training.
