SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Interviewers and candidates lack structured, scenario-based question banks for data science and analytics roles, making it hard to assess statistical rigor, experimentation judgment, and business communication beyond memorized frameworks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Topic Coverage: Provides question ladders across metric anomaly attribution, A/B test design, hypothesis testing, metric system design, SQL, causal inference, user segmentation, forecasting, business storytelling, event tracking, and campaign ROI evaluation. - Signal-Based Evaluation: Each topic lists danger signals and expected signals so interviewers can distinguish candidates who recite frameworks from those who reason through real scenarios. - Resume-Linked Probing: Supplies follow-up hooks that tie questions to claims on a candidate's resume, such as A/B tests, metric systems, or prediction models. - Use Case: When a candidate's resume mentions building an experimentation platform, load this skill to ask about sample size calculation, SRM detection, guardrail metrics, and how conflicting results were resolved. ## Quick Start Load the data-science skill and generate interview questions for a candidate whose resume mentions A/B testing and metric system design.

Frequently Asked Questions about data-science

FAQPage Schema
How do I interview a data analyst candidate effectively?▼

Use scenario-based questions with concrete numbers rather than framework recitation, such as a conversion rate dropping from 3.2% to 2.6% with a one-hour deadline. Evaluate structured reasoning, hypothesis verifiability, and the ability to turn conclusions into actions.

What A/B testing questions should I ask in data science interviews?▼

Ask about sample size and MDE calculation, SRM detection, novelty effects, and decision-making when metrics conflict. Strong candidates define primary and guardrail metrics upfront and investigate randomization before trusting significant results.

How to assess SQL skills in a data analyst interview?▼

Give a live retention or funnel query task, such as day 1/7/30 retention with multi-device handling. Watch whether the candidate clarifies metric definitions first, uses window functions, and validates results against totals.

Does this skill cover causal inference interview topics?▼

Yes, it covers confounding, selection bias, and quasi-experimental methods like DID, PSM, and synthetic control for cases where A/B tests are impossible. It emphasizes stating assumptions such as parallel trends and expressing uncertainty to stakeholders.

What are red flags when interviewing data science candidates?▼

Red flags include interpreting p<0.05 as a 95% probability of effect, guessing causes before ruling out data pipeline issues, treating pre-post comparisons as causal, and applying t-tests to long-tailed metrics without variance treatment.
