18.3 All-Source Fusion

In some analysis fields, the term “all-source fusion” refers to the use of multiple sources and methods to develop the complete picture that can help to answer some difficult question.  

When learning a new topic or concept, you should embrace this same approach.  When considering all the resources around you, don’t view them as an “either-or” but instead as a “this plus that.”  

Rather than view something like a web-based tutorial, a physical book with code examples, and a Udemy course as disconnected sources of information, synthesize the key points highlighted by these disparate channels.  

Maybe you will find a great YouTube tutorial that shows you how to write the code for some statistical test in Python.  If it leaves you wondering, “Okay but what’s the conceptual basis for that – why is this test used in that particular way?”, you might discover a wonderful, but code-free, explanation on a channel like Khan Academy or ritvikmath.
