In the States they send you example interview - see that for level of details. Do not do more since interviewers will not know more and will get confused

Ha this comment is too real. You need practical mastery of these topics, but if you go beyond that and come off as a theoretical stats wizard then it’ll backfire. To be clear, you really need to sound like you know your stuff. If you come off like a lightweight on experimentation you’ll fail the interview
