Marco De Cesaris – what my colleagues think about me

Marco De Cesaris - what my colleagues think about me

The below words cloud was built according to the public feedbacks provided by my colleagues and appearing on my linkedin profile and yahoo internal system.

This is how it was built:

 

1. all the feedbacks were collected;


2. all the “feedbacks text” was copied and pasted into “content analyzer” (a tool that i built few years back while at university).

3. all the words appearing in the feedbacks were automatically weighted through content analyzer associating frequency to each single word.

4. in order to graphically build the words cloud, the results from content analyzer were copied and pasted directly into wordle.

5. below is the result :)

Word Cloud of Marco De Cesaris expertise

When somebody (including my colleagues) ask me what my job is about, I always get in troubles trying to explain what I exactly do.

Thought this word cloud visualization of my expertise should be pretty straight forward and give an idea (at glance) of my expertise and what I do :)

Will see if it works :)

The cartoon guide to Statistics


Cover of the book: the cartoon guide to statistics

This is one of the best and funniest book I have ever read! :) It explains in such an easy way very complex things! A perfect book that teaches you while making you laugh :)

Generally reading a book for me it takes ages, but i finished this one during a flight London-Milan (return flight… yes) :)

Saying that it is funny it is not enough!

Learning statistics through this book will be like eating nutella (ps I love nutella) ;) Of course, it will be a basic course, but honestly speaking, if you already have a basic understanding, you will enjoy this book very much.

Here is just page number 1 :) Have a laugh :) (Click on the image below to enlarge).

What is statistics

219 pages of wonderful entertainment. Actually it is not a book.. it is more like a show! :)

The different stories are so live, so cool… so funny!

It covers from what is statistics, to probability, random variables, sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression.

Honestly a very well thought and written book. Thank to the genius of Larry Gonick and Woollcott Smith.

Highly recommended!
