First thing’s first: for all intents and purposes, I am a “dummy” in this case. But, in general, this article is intended to be read by “non-technical stakeholders”. I will have done my job if my technologically-averse father can understand it.
I recently participated in my very first data science competition. Being less than a year into learning Data Science, this is my first competition. I’ll put the cart before the horse a bit. Surprisingly, I did better than I thought I would. But since this project is associated with one of my official projects in my Data Science curriculum, I had to stop at some point… at least as far as my curriculum-project is concerned. I will continue to refine my methods and models as time permits; there are 9 months left in the competition. As I write this, I currently sit ranked 873 out of 9742 competitors… the 91st percentile.
In this post, I will demonstrate how to convert a confidence interval for the difference of means of two independent samples into null-hypothesis rejection and non-rejection regions using Matplotlib, Scipy, and Jupyter Notebook.
