'''Background:''' Neural modeling is often pursued in an ad hoc way.  Researchers add the mechanisms they know about, but need to wave their hands about the ones they don't.  They necessarily make many simplifying assumptions but often include many details that are not needed to parsimoniously capture the phenomena.  [[Background|'''More...''']]

Sean G. Carver, Ph. D., Data Scientist

Data scientist, gifted in the creative analysis and presentation of data. I have skills and experience creating and conveying penetrating insights from data and models. In a sense, I have been a data scientist for my entire career, although I did not always call myself that. I have also called myself a modeler.


I tutor most STEM fields and mentor data projects that send students to the next level---college, graduate school, or a spectacular career. I have a particular interest and experience in baseball analytics to prepare students to work or study as sports data analysts. Regardless of your field of interest, I can help you design and implement a project or projects that will get you noticed by employers and university admission committees.

In Spring 2017, I taught Stat 370, Introduction to Statistical Computing and Modeling.
In Spring 2009, I developed and taught at Johns Hopkins: Modeling and Identifying Neurosystems.
I received my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Cornell University in 2003. I later worked for the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, Yale University, and Data Machines Corp.
I wrote: The Data Professor's Guide to Basic Statistics.
