I would say that a good data scientist can quickly estimate where their time is best spent, either accepting what someone else has told them as-is or investigating themselves from the ground up. There's always more to investigate so using your time efficiently is one of the most important DS skills. Like solving a multi-armed bandit problem.
- dudeman13 5y agoSounds like something that is a function of your domain knowledge and your data science skills will have very little to do with it
- noodlenotes 5y agoThe knowledge that informs where to spend your time can be based on domain knowledge (and also experience of working with data in general), but the framework for estimating probabilities that investing your time will get you worthwhile results and acting on those probabilities has more to do with statistics.
