Dear friends,
Welcome to the Aug 7th edition of the Sunday Briefing. This week we’re on hiatus form blogging but you can take advantage of the down time to catch up on the latest post on the G4Sci series: Kahn’s Algorithm for Topological Sorting, and at V4Sci we have Rotating Global Heatmap while at Medium you’ll find “Exploring the Dow-Jones Industrial Average using Linear Regression”.

In recent weeks, several of you have reached out asking how they can help support the work we do here at Data For Science. While the Sunday Briefing is a labour of love and will always remain free, it is not without costs and any help is appreciated.

If you wish to support our work, there are several options:

1. Paid subscription to Graphs for Science or Visualization for Science.
2. Directly through PayPal.

Don’t forget that we have the next edition of the Advanced Time Series for Everyone coming up in just two days on Aug 9, 2022. Don’t miss out and register!

On our regularly scheduled content we explore the many flavors of hashing, 10 Probability Distributions that Every Data Scientist Should Know and a bibliography, tips, and tricks of Technical writing, a skill we can all benefit from improving.

On the more academic front we dive into the multiscale modeling of brain network organization, explore how we can map urban linguistic diversity with social media and population register data and the statistical properties of sites visited by independent random walks and much more!

This weeks ‘Data Science Book ’ highlight is Data Science Book is “Analytical Skills for AI & Data Science” by D. Vaughan. As always you can find all the previous book recommendations on our website. In the video of the week we have a PySpark tutorial.
