Jacob Scott's Picture

Hey, I'm Jacob!
Data Scientist.

Technical practitioner in data science—Bayesian modeling, ML pipelines, and interpretable outputs. I write code that scales and explains.

Bayesian Agility: A Stepwise Demonstration of Encoding Prior Knowledge for Inference

A practical guide to Bayesian regression, showing how to encode prior knowledge for robust inference in small or outlier-prone datasets. In this post, I contrast frequentist and Bayesian approaches, emphasizing the advantages of informed priors and richer uncertainty estimates.

Applied Deep Learning for Early Mortality Prediction in ICU Heart Failure Patients

My Data Science master's degree capstone project aimed at developing an early-warning model for ICU HF Patients.

QRS Complex Labeling in ECG Data Using Plotly Dash

My interactive QRS Complex Annotation Tool for a graduate course project.

Heart Failure & AI: Predicting Outcomes with Deep Learning

Describing my master's capstone project, where I'm utilizing deep learning and multi-modal data to predict readmissions for ICU heart failure patients.

Demystifying Algorithms: Bayes' Theorem and Naïve Bayes

Explaining one of the cornerstones of probability theory. A critical precursor to complex probabilistic models.

AI vs. Machine Learning: What's the Difference?

A brief writeup on the overlap and distinction between two of the buzziest topics of our time.

Introduction

Introduction to this site and my intentions for it!

A Post From My Old Site

"Wrangling and Regression Modeling of Scraped Zillow Listings". An example from my early learning days back in 2020, that was hosted on my deprecated site. Shows an end-to-end project with scraping web data, collating and processing it, and analyzing it for rough prediction.
