  noise2 = approx(sample(0:50), n = n, y=NULL)$y
  noise3 = rnorm(n)
  abs(norms + norms * noise1 + norms * noise2 * .1 + noise3)

If you were to give recommendations to your "little brother/sister" on things that they need to do to become a data scientist, what would those things be?

I think the "Data Science Venn Diagram" (http://drewconway.com/zia/2013/3/26/the-data-science-venn-diagram) is a great place to start. You need three things to be a good data scientist:

• Statistical knowledge
• Programming/hacking skills
• Domain expertise

Statistical knowledge

# check.packages function: install and load multiple R packages.
# Check to see if packages are installed. Install them if they are not, then load them into the R session.
check.packages <- function(pkg){
    new.pkg <- pkg[!(pkg %in% installed.packages()[, "Package"])]
    if (length(new.pkg)) 
        install.packages(new.pkg, dependencies = TRUE)
    sapply(pkg, require, character.only = TRUE)
}

# Usage example
