David Cornejo is a long time analytics guru and helped me immensely as I was developing the data science methods detailed in my book on "Dynamic Oracle Performance Analytics". Here's the quote from my blog post on the back story: "Rescue Me, Analytics Guru’s
Interestingly, my eldest son was in a PhD program in advanced analytics, and I got to rub elbows on occasion with his cohort analytics gurus and other genius mathematicians. In conversation, I would bring up my quandary of lack of visibility into these tens of thousands of metrics, but I must admit, I made little progress on solving this quandary until I “cornered” my son on this topic. He says, “Well, we do this thing called feature engineering and feature selection” [at that time these terms were totally new to me]. With my interest piqued, I said, “Tell me more.” He went on to explain one of many feature selection methods where it is sometimes easier/convenient to count intervals where a metric value exceeds some threshold, and the metrics that most often exceeded the threshold were likely the key influencers to the performance problem. I’m still a bit skeptical because now with tens of thousands of metrics, it still going to be difficult to make sense of them all. Wherein, he introduced me to the concept of using taxonomies to organize/bundle the metrics into some broader categories." Full back-story here:
