Hey all, My name is Prashant. Nice to come across this data group.
Apart from being a Data Scientist by profession, I've always been quite interested in India related data. Last year, I did a simple web scraping of 10 years of CBSE-12 data and 2 years of ISC-12 data - and did a bit of simple analysis using histograms, which led me to believe that score manipulation and inflation was rampant and these gateway exams are not as authentic as they should be. http://www.thelearningpoint.net/home/examination-results-2013/exposing-cbse-and-icse http://www.thelearningpoint.net/home/examination-results-2013/cbse-2004-to-2014-bulls-in-china-shops Some of the coverage of my work. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/CBSE-Std-XII-scoring-shows-sudden-spikes/articleshow/20582997.cms http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-what-exactly-do-data-scientists-do-1879572 Enjoying some of the India/election data on this forum otherwise. -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
