About the Author
Tony Fischetti
is a data scientist at College Factual, where he gets to use R
everyday to build personalized rankings and recommender systems. He graduated
in cognitive science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and his thesis was
strongly focused on using statistics to study visual short-term memory.
Tony enjoys writing and contributing to open source software, blogging at
http://www.onthelambda.com
, writing about himself in third person, and sharing
his knowledge using simple, approachable language and engaging examples.
The more traditionally exciting of his daily activities include listening to records,
playing the guitar and bass (poorly), weight training, and helping others.
Because I'm aware of how incredibly lucky I am, it's really hard to
express all the gratitude I have for everyone in my life that helped
me—either directly, or indirectly—in completing this book. The
following (partial) list is my best attempt at balancing thoroughness
whilst also maximizing the number of people who will read this
section by keeping it to a manageable length.
First, I'd like to thank all of my educators. In particular, I'd like to
thank the Bronx High School of Science and Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute. More specifically, I'd like the Bronx Science Robotics Team,
all it's members, it's team moms, the wonderful Dena Ford and
Cherrie Fleisher-Strauss; and Justin Fox. From the latter institution,
I'd like to thank all of my professors and advisors. Shout out to Mike
Kalsher, Michael Schoelles, Wayne Gray, Bram van Heuveln, Larry
Reid, and Keith Anderson (especially Keith Anderson).
