Data Science

Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and

systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data, and apply

knowledge and actionable insights from data across a broad range of application domains. Data

science is related to data mining, machine learning and big data.

Data science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis, informatics, and their related methods"

in order to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" with data. It uses techniques and theories

drawn from many fields within the context of mathematics, statistics, computer science, information

science, and domain knowledge. Turing award winner Jim Gray imagined data science as a "fourth

paradigm" of science (empirical, theoretical, computational and now data-driven) and asserted that

"everything about science is changing because of the impact of information technology" and the

data deluge.

Data science comprises preparing data for analysis, including cleansing, aggregating, and

manipulating the data to perform advanced data analysis. Analytic applications and data scientists

can then review the results to uncover patterns and enable business leaders to draw informed

insights.

Key steps in a data science project:

1. Define the problem: What question are you trying to answer? What insights are you hoping to

gain?

2. Gather the data: What data do you need to answer your question? Where can you find this data?

3. Clean the data: Is your data accurate and complete? Do you need to remove any outliers or

missing values?
4. Explore the data: What patterns and trends can you see in your data? What visualizations can

you create to help you understand your data better?

5. Model the data: Can you build a model to predict or explain the patterns you see in your data?

What algorithms are best suited for your problem?

6. Evaluate the model: How well does your model perform? Is it accurate and reliable?

7. Deploy the model: How can you use your model to make decisions or take actions? How can you

integrate your model into your business processes?

Data science is a rapidly growing field, and it is having a major impact on a wide variety of

industries. As the amount of data continues to grow, the demand for data scientists is only going to

increase.
