Start from the problem
The topics are organised by subject. These guides start from what you are trying to do — choose a test, pick a metric, check a backtest — and lead to the method and the topics that explain it.
Which statistical test should I use?
Answer a few questions about your data and get the test, the SciPy call, and what to report with it.
Which metric should I evaluate my model with?
From what your model predicts and what its mistakes cost to the metric that measures it honestly.
Which forecasting model should I start with?
Start simple, beat the baseline, then add complexity only where it earns its keep.
Why is my model not generalising?
A diagnosis in a few questions — from the gap between training and validation error to leakage and drift.
Is my backtest honest?
Fourteen checks that separate a strategy from a story. Tick them off; your progress stays in your browser.
Is my model ready for production?
Fourteen checks from packaging to rollback. Tick them off; your progress stays in your browser.
