Data Science Portfolio

A repository of the projects I worked on or currently working on. It is updated regularly. The projects are either written in R (R markdown) or Python (Jupyter Notebook). Click on the projects to see full analysis and code.

Please contact me on Linkedin if you are looking to hire a data scientist.

Projects:

Anomaly Detection on Beijing pm2.5 data using LSTM - Under Construction

• Used LSTM to fit five years of Beijing weather data
• Constructed anomaly scores from the difference between model prediction and real data
• Investigated time periods with high anomaly scores
• Results confirms that high anomaly scores corresponds with extreme weather (floods, heavy rain, firework celebration, etc)
• Keywords(Anomaly Detection, Time Series, LSTM, Weather, Beijing, Semi-supervised learning)

Exchange Rate Analysis During US Election

• Predicted US (2016) election results in realtime as the voting results of each region becomes available.
• Regressed states with results against polling data and predicted results for the remaining states
• Monte Carlos simulation used to simulate the winner of the election.
• Compared simulated results with exchange rates fluctuations to see if market is efficient.
• Keywords(Python, Linear Regression, Monte Carlos Simulation)

Power-law or Log-normal? Baby Name and Twitter Analysis

• Fitted power-law and log-normal distribution to US baby names data since 1960.
• Use bootstrapping techniques to find a distribution of the power-law parameters
• Crawled Twitter to find 20000 random user and fitted power law distribution to users' friends count and followers count.
• Keywords(R, Power-law, Bootstrapping, Log-normal)

Twitter Sentiment Daily and Weekly Fluctuations

• Parsed a few GB of Tweets to select all the tweets in UK and in English.
• Used 'qdap' package to analyze the emotion of the Tweets
• Plotted the emotions over the day and over the week and analysed the interesting results.
• Keywords(R, Twitter API, Time Series, Sentiment Analysis, ggplot)

GDP and Future Orientation

• Downloaded economic indicators data using World Bank API, and cleaned data
• Downloaded search query of next and last year in Google for each country
• Fitted linear regression between GDP and future orientation
• Keywords(R, World Bank API, Google API, Data Cleaning, Linear regression)

Exchange Rate Analysis During UK Election - Under Construction

• Predicted UK (2017) election victories as the voting results as it happened.
• retrieved from Tweets of result announcement and extracted time of announcement for each region.
• Regressed regions with results against polling data and predicted results for the remaining regions
• Monte Carlos simulation used to simulate the winner of the election.
• Keywords(Python, Twitter API, Merging Data)
