12 Statistical and Machine Learning Methods that Every Data Scientist Should Know – AnalyticBridge

Below is my personal list of statistical and machine learning methods that every data scientist should know in 2016. From my experience in the data science industry for 4 years, I think that currently these 12 methods are the most popular, useful and suitable for various problems requiring data science. As far as I've known, there have been not a few lists of "representative methods in data science" ever. However, I feel some of them are already out-of-date because they appear to neglect the latest advance of data science in the industry. Thus I made this list as the one by business person, who knows practical matters and solutions with data science, including statistics and machine learning in the industry.
