OTHER:
I am very determined and a hard worker. I am very much willing to learn from others. Have good communication skills and computer skills. I consider myself competent, reliable, and responsible. PROJECTS ACCOMPLISHED
The first project I was involved in is a research project in partial fulfilment of my BCom (Hons) degree. The research project involved me working as an individual under supervision. My topic was based on Repeated-Measures Designs, which is mostly associated with Behavioural sciences and meta- analysis. Repeated-Measures Designs involve measuring subjects more than once to determine statistically significant change over time. The designs can be effectively used in determining how effective certain medications are on certain people; or how effective rehabilitation is on certain people where the period variable is time. Statistical Analysis software such as SAS (Statistical Analysis Software), SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was used for analysis. The Second project I was involved in is a research project which was done in a group with two of the Master students from Philosophy faculty at the University of Pretoria. It was based on the out of sample forecasting ability of India’s Industrial production. Incorporation was Economics, Econometrics, Time-series Analysis and Data Mining. WORK EXPERIENCE:

From 12/01/2018-31/08/2018
The focus was on Python and R for analysis. Machine learning algorithms which comprised of Supervised and Unsupervised learning was utilised. To model relationships and dependencies between the target prediction output and the input features, common algorithms used was Regression. For classification purposes, Naïve Bayes, K Nearest Neighbour, Decision Trees (with the use of KNIME) was utilized. Unsupervised learning algorithms for descriptive modelling and pattern detection, K-means clustering and Association rules we utilized.
NoSQL from the python library (PySpark) was used to extract tables from the database. Visualization techniques utilized were BI and Tableau. Informatica was utilized for ETL. To analysis social media data, graphX, networkX and neo4j was utilized. Training on Big data pipelines, Deep learning, TensorFlow and Teradata Studio was provided.

How to check for multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and serial correlation, how to correct for them was also part of the tutoring.
Time series tutoring was based on ARMA (Autoregressive models) and ARIMA
(Autoregressive integrated models). Checking for stationarity in time series models and correcting for non-stationary models.
All analysis was done using SAS and SPSS.
