Data Analyst
Summary
My name is Idris Rasheed and I have a bachelor’s degree in Statistical Science. I am a self-starter who has created other opportunities to widen my skill set with approaching and developing my own projects in Python and R. I am expanding into projects that use Java, C++. and SQL.

QUANTITATIVE PROJECTS |
Medical Classification Project
(APRIL 2017 – JUNE 2017)
- Performed Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM), Radial Support Vector Machine (RVM), and Random Forest classifications to classify diabetes in Pima Native American women in R

- Chose two autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models from the autocorrelation correlation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF)
- Picked the best-fitted model from these two models through AICC testing and performed diagnostic tests on its residuals to better understand the model’s behavior
Infectious Disease Modeling Project (SEPTEMBER 2016 – DECEMBER 2016)
- Modeled a combination of covariates to predict the time until reinfection of gonorrhea, syphilis, or both occur in R
- Visualized and approximated the Kaplan-Meier estimator to estimate the rate of reinfection over time
- Checked that the chosen model did not violate the proportional hazards assumption by creating log-log plots for all eight covariates and analyzed the convergence or nonconvergence of the lines in the plot
