Jay has achieved second highest overall score in the our data 101 class of over 200 students and in addtion has succesfully competed in prediction challenges series which this year consisted of 5 challenges. He placed in top 5 there as well.
Here is what Jay says about himsef:
"Hello, my name is Jay and I am pursuing majors in Computer Science and Data Science with possibly a minor in Cognitive Science. Data 101 has taught me the basics of R programming as well as the practical applications of data analysis. Also, participating in the prediction challenges throughout the semester has helped me understand the importance of eyeballing and subsetting to find specific patterns that are not easily detected even through rpart() or lm(). Finding hidden patterns in the data sets was a fun experience and I recommend participating in at least some of the challenges if you have the time. I hope what I've learned in this course will help me with future computer or data science courses at Rutgers and my future career goals"
