Referred Textbooks, for Machine Learning, Data Science, and Statistics

I have hands-on experience working with a diverse range of datasets, where I develop and apply advanced statistical and machine learning algorithms to extract meaningful insights, build predictive models, and solve real-world problems. My work spans various domains in biostatistics, and I consistently tailor analytical techniques to suit the unique characteristics of each dataset.
