Microsoft Launches Data Science Certifications

Read to the end to learn more about a new study group I will be launching.

In Late January 2019, Microsoft launched 3 new certifications aimed at Data Scientists/Engineers. For a while, Microsoft has been toying with different methods for training and credentials. They launched the Microsoft Professional Program in Data Science back in 2017. While it provides great content, it did not result in either a college diploma or an official Microsoft certification. Now Microsoft is in the process of restructing certifications to be more role-focused. Here are details about the 3 certification of interest to data scientists and data engineers.

1. Azure Data Scientist Associate

Exams Required:

For more details and to register, go to the Azure Data Scientist Associate page.

2. Azure AI Engineer Associate

Exams Required:

For more details and to register, go to the Azure AI Engineer Associate page.

3. Azure Data Engineer Associate

Exams Required:

For more details and to register, go to the AzureData Engineer Associate page.

Exam Details

As of March 2019, the exams are in beta phase and the details of what is on the exams are very sparse and vague.

New Study Group

Are you interested in taking one or all of the exams? I am organizing a study group/community. Sign up to get the latest details from Microsoft Data Science Certification Study Group.

Full Disclosure: I am not a Microsoft Employee, and this group is not sponsored or endorsed by Microsoft. I am just excited about the certifications and hoping to help others (and myself) prepare.

Controlling legend appearance in ggplot2 with override.aes

[This article was first published on Very statisticious on Very statisticious , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers ]. (You can report issue about the content on this page here ) Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't. In ggplot2 , aesthetics and their scale_*() functions change both the plot appearance and the plot legend appearance simultaneously. The override.aes argument in guide_legend() allows the user to change only the legend appearance without affecting the rest of the plot. This is useful for making the legend more readable or for creating certain types of combined legends. In this post I’ll first introduce override.aes with a basic example and then go through three additional plotting scenarios to how other instances where override.aes comes in handy. Table of Contents R packages Introducing override.aes Adding a guides() layer Using the guide argument in scale_*() Changing multiple aesthetic par...

Zooming in on maps with sf and ggplot2

(This article was first published on r-bloggers – WZB Data Science Blog , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) When working with geo-spatial data in R, I usually use the sf package for manipulating spatial data as Simple Features objects and ggplot2 with geom_sf for visualizing these data. One thing that comes up regularly is “zooming in” on a certain region of interest, i.e. displaying a certain map detail. There are several ways to do so. Three common options are: selecting only certain areas of interest from the spatial dataset (e.g. only certain countries / continent(s) / etc.) cropping the geometries in the spatial dataset using sf_crop() restricting the display window via coord_sf() I will show the advantages and disadvantages of these options and especially focus on how to zoom in on a certain point of interest at a specific “zoom level”. We will see how to calculate the coordinates of the display window or “bounding box” around this zoom point. Loading t...
