Brian Wang scored second overall in the FALL 2024 semester Quinlan competition in addition to the high overall score in the entire class. Congratulations.
Here is what Brian says about himself.
Hi everyone! I’m Brian, a sophomore majoring in Cell Biology and Neuroscience and considering a minor in Data Science. When I first signed up for this class, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But to my surprise, I found it both engaging and rewarding! This course not only strengthened my understanding of basic R and statistical concepts but also encouraged me to apply what I learned in real-world challenges using machine learning. I greatly increased my understanding of models like rpart, linear models, and especially random forest and how we could feature engineering and parameter tune for a better fit. I’m grateful for the experience and wish all future students the best of luck!
Brian Wang is data 101 Hall of Famer - in top 2% of the whole 200+ class!
