This repository contains my notes and support documents for the data science career tack course from Springboard.com. It also serves as an index (and a showcase) for my capstone projects, my mini-projects for data science career track course on Springboard.com mainly, and on other courses or projects.

A capstone project is a relatively large project where multiple aspects of data science are employed, including data wrangling, inferential statistics, and machine learning.

This project comes from a Kaggle competition. Walmart wants to know the correlation between weather condition and its sales record. More specifically, Walmart wants a model that can "accurately predict the sales of 111 potentially weather-sensitive products (like umbrellas, bread, and milk) around the time of major weather events at 45 of their retail locations".

To this end, in this capstone project, I would like to accomplish the following objects: 1.A model that will predict product sales in major weather events 2.Evaluate how the weather condition affect the sales

This project comes from the Kaggle competition "Data Science Bowl 2017". This year's topic is lung cancer detection. The goal defined by the competition is:

"Using a data set of thousands of high-resolution lung scans provided by the National Cancer Institute, participants will develop algorithms that accurately determine when lesions in the lungs are cancerous. "

To this end, in this capstone project, I would like to accomplish the following objects: 1.A model that will detect lung cancer. 2.Compare the performance versus other submissions.
