What is Data Science?

 What is Data Science?

Data Science is about data gathering, analysis, and decision-making.

Data Science is about finding patterns in data, through analysis, and make future predictions.

By using Data Science, companies are able to make:

  • Better decisions (should we choose A or B)
  • Predictive analysis (what will happen next?)
  • Pattern discoveries (find a pattern, or maybe hidden information in the data)

How Does a Data Scientist Work?

A Data Scientist requires expertise in several backgrounds:

  • Machine Learning
  • Statistics
  • Programming (Python or R)
  • Mathematics
  • Databases

A Data Scientist must find patterns within the data. Before he/she can find the patterns, he/she must organize the data in a standard format.

Here is how a Data Scientist works:

  1. Ask the right questions - To understand the business problem.                 
  2. Explore and collect data - From the database, weblogs, customer feedback, etc.                                                                                 
  3. Extract the data - Transform the data to a standardized format.             
  4. Clean the data - Remove erroneous values from the data.                     
  5. Find and replace missing values - Check for missing values and replace them with a suitable value (e.g. an average value).                        
  6. Normalize data - Scale the values in a practical range (e.g. 140 cm is smaller than 1,8 m. However, the number 140 is larger than 1,8. - so scaling is important).                                                                         
  7. Analyze data, find patterns and make future predictions.                 
  8. Represent the result - Present the result with useful insights in a way the "company" can understand.

Advanced Java Interview Questions?

  Advanced Java Interview Questions 1. What Is A Reflection In Java? The reflection in Java is an API that is used to inspect other code which is present in the same node where it is running. This reflection is also used to give information about the instance to which an object belongs. 2. How To Differentiate The Interface And Class In Java? Even though both are used to achieve abstraction in Java. When it comes to the implementation point of view the abstract classes can have both abstract and non–abstract methods when it comes to the interface only abstract methods are allowed to include in the body of the interface. 3. Does Java Supports The Concept Of Pass-By -Reference ? No, java does not explicitly support the concept of pass-by-reference because there is the concept of pointers in java. In Java, everything is passed as values so we can java only supports the pass-by value and implicitly these are passed as references. 4. What Is Meant By JavaBean? Java Bean is a java class ...
