Klaviyo Data Science Podcast EP 15 | Books every data scientist should read (vol. 2)

Welcome back to the Klaviyo Data Science podcast! This episode, we dive into…

(More) required reading for data science

A question we frequently get asked is: what books should I read to be a better data scientist/machine learning engineer? This may not surprise you, but there isn’t just one answer — in fact, we spent an entire episode talking about three ways to level up your data science knowledge and skills. This month, we’re back with three more:

One of the foremost foundational texts for understanding machine learning models in a statistical way
A survey course for a broad variety of machine learning models, with the opportunity to go in depth on topics like deep learning
A foundational text in designing and analyzing experiments — both in ideal scenarios and in cases where the standard assumptions aren’t met

Mentioned this episode

We discuss the following books and courses in this episode:

The Elements of Statistical Learning by Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, and Jerome Friedman: https://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/ElemStatLearn/
Kirill Eremenko’s A-Z courses on data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning
Field Experiments: Design, Analysis, and Interpretation by Alan Gerber and Donald Green: https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393979954
