Today we start with a huge list of data mining, data science and machine learning blogs from KD Nuggets. There are a lot of good sources, some of which I already share, so if you are interested in those topics definitely take a look. On FastML, we get an excellent post on Bayesian Machine Learning. FastML is one of my favorite machine learning blogs, so you will want to read this latest post. At the CleverTap Blog, they tell us about cohort analysis and using it to improve retention. Cohort analysis is an interesting area and it seems to be gaining more usage.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
