Difficulties in Data Science

02:41
The first and the foremost thing any Data Scientists enthusiast should understand is that it's not as easy as they think, Yes Data science is not an easy thing, You need lots of motivation and dedication to go to the depth of the Data Science course.Because there are many things inside the Data Science, it's not only the word "Data Science".Both "Data" and "Science" are very big terms among themselves and when combined, you can imagine what are the challenges and problems one can face dealing with it.It's not all new but as the technology is growing challenges to grows with it.

Data Science Problems according to Difficulties

Descriptive Analysis: The main goal of this is to describe the Data.You are not going to make any prediction or any decision or performing any kind of analysis.This is the first kind of Data analysis performed, however, it is not generalized without adding statistical modeling.Commonly applied to the Census Data.

Exploratory Analysis: Exploratory analysis on data will show you different relationships between data which you don't know earlier.It is very much useful in defining future studies and defining new connections.Although it is not the final stage and prediction and decision making can't be done with this alone.

Inferential Analysis: Inferential Analysis uses a very small data, which is sample data and predicts something on larger Data that is predicting or making a decision on bigger population.It is the goal of statistical models and heavily depends on the sample or population.

Predictive Analysis: This Analysis refers to using the data on some objects for predicting the values of other objects.Doing correct prediction is very tough and heavily depends on measuring the right values.There are many models for prediction but if the Data size is more than with the simple model prediction really works well.

Casual Analysis: By this, you will find out that, what happens with one variable when you make a change to other variables.Casual Analysis is considered to be the "Gold Standard" for Data Analysis and is usually identified as average effects but may not apply to every individual.


You should have lots of practice with all the above approaches in order to have good command over the Data Science.The biggest thing is to keep yourself in practice and keep learning.

Data Scientist Tools

06:42

Tools used by Data Scientists

There are different kinds of Tools used by Data Scientists to solve different kinds of problems.One of the great tools we have earlier talked about is the R and RStudio, used by a huge number of Data Scientists to analyze the problem.
So let's start with the Interface of RStudio where we will work.When you will open the Interface of the RStudio it will look something like this, as shown below↓.

So the first one is Code Editor where we write all the coding stuff, we can also write our R code in the R Console and it's a good practice, to begin with writing the things in R console only.All the output of the code we write and execute will be shown in the console only.
Workspace and History which is at the upper right side will show you all your work.The workspace will have all the files, functions, Variables, etc we have created in the Code Editor.History, on the other hand, will have all the actions you have done in the RStudio Code Editor.
Plots and Files will show you the graphs as output when you will be doing Exploratory Data Analysis, and all the files in the working directory will be shown here.

Git and GitHub

Version Control is a system that records all the changes done over time to a file or set of files so you can recall the same when you want.Suppose you have created a file and some text in that particular file so what it will do it will save your action and whenever you open the next time you can start from where you had left.
To Know More about Version Control: GitHub-Version Control

So Git is a free and open source Version Control system for handling small to large things.It is created by the people who developed Linux and is one of the most popular Version Control System available nowadays.Everything is there on your computer and things can be operated through the command line.
Also Read-A short History of Git
Download Git for Windows/Mac/Linux
For windows user, after installing the Git, you have to open Git Bash and run your all command there to operate your local repositories or connect to remote repositories.There are few commands by which you can manage and operate things on Git.Please click the link given to know basics of Git.Git-Basics
Click this link and go through all the basic Git Command before proceeding further.Git Commands

GitHub is a web-based hosting service for software development projects that use the Git revision control system.You can have your projects online so that if something wrong will happen with your local repositories then also your projects will be safe on GitHub server.You can also contribute to others projects.
GitHub allows you to "push" or "pull" your local repositories to the web that is to the remote repositories.One can also follow and share others projects, can learn about what other is working on.
First of all, you have to setup your GitHub account and then create Repository for your project.

GitHub-Signup/Login


GitHub is the largest platform for Data Scientist for Data Scientist to share the Data and Coding stuff too.It is highly recommended that you create GitHub account and push all your work on GitHub Repository.

Getting Started With Data Science

10:07
Data Science is a field all about different scientific Methods, Process, systems to extract an Important piece of information and knowledge from the Data which may be either structured or unstructured.It includes getting the data, Cleaning the data and building a new analysis from that particular data.You don't have much of information about the data and have to filter it out.So one can understand that there are a lot of challenges and criticism while you go through any data science course or project.

The keyword of Data Science is not Data, It's Science.Being a Data Scientist enthusiast you have to ask yourself many questions as the questions should come first and then the data.

Why Data Science?

Over the last several years there is a huge increase in the size of Data all over the world.This is because Data has become much easier to collect and store.Application on smart phones, GPS, Social networking sites, etc all these are contributing to the growing size of data.This led to the rising era of Big Data.Collecting, storing analyzing these data are really difficult and challenging.But now that's all possible to access these kinds of data which allows us to answer questions we never could do before.


Why Statistical Data Science?

When you work with Data Science you rarely get any dataset where all the information will be given to you and you will easily get all the answers to your questions.So uncertainty is there with data and any place where uncertainty comes Statistics comes there.Statistics is needed in Data Science as it is a broad field with many application to be used in industry.So if you want to learn Data Science you must have a good knowledge of Statistics.

Who is Data Scientist?

The question might arise in your mind that who is actual Data Scientist.Many are self-proclaimed Data Scientist or tell others a Data Scientist but they are the professionals who have achieved expertise and have good experience in the Data Science skills.Data scientists are a new breed of analytical data expert who has the technical skills to solve complex problems – and the curiosity to explore what problems need to be solved.

What Data Scientist Do?


  • Define the question
  • Define the ideal data set
  • Determine what data you can access
  • Obtain the Data
  • Clean the Data
  • Exploratory Data Analysis(EDA)
  • Modelling/Statistical Prediction
  • Interpret Result
  • Challenge Result
  • Writing the results
  • Creates reusable codes
  • Distributes the results to others

Start Now!

At this moment there is a huge boom in the Data Science field, so there is a good chance for those who are really interested in making a career with Data Science.From health care to Business development there is a need of Data Science.Becoming a good Data scientist is not an easy thing but yes, one can achieve this with interest and dedication.A recent study by McKinsey indicates that the demand for Data Scientists is on the rise, with an estimated 50% demand-supply gap by 2018.
Skilled, certified data scientists are among the highest-paid professionals in the IT industry, with the median salary for entry-level data scientists at $91,000, and managers making as much as $250,000 a year.

Inside The Box

Till now you have got a basic idea of what Data Science is and its importance.But what are the things(Skills) one should know to become a Data Scientist?I have already discussed these things, about the skills in my Previous post. In my Next Post, I will briefly discuss the Tools used for Data Science which is R programming and How to Download R and Rstudio and one should have good knowledge of this Tool to become a good and valuable Data Scientist.

Data Scientist Vs Data Analyst

19:45
Data scientist nowadays are the real Rockstar of the IT industry, the professionals who work from the business point of view and make certain predictions and assumptions to help to grow the business.
They are very much efficient picking up the right problems and solving those problems will add a value to the organisation they are working for.According to the Havard Business Review 'Data Scientist' is said to be the sexiest job of the 21st Century. 

A Data Scientist can also be divided into 4 different roles based on their skill sets.

  • Data Researcher
  • Data Developers
  • Data Creatives
  • Data Businesspeople

Skills Required for Data Scientist and Data Analyst

Data Analyst on the other hand also plays a major role in Data science but they are yet to receive any cool Tag yet.They perform Different types of tasks regarding the collection, organizing data and obtaining statistical information out of the data. Data Analyst presents those data in the form of charts, graphs, and tables and uses the same to build relational databases for organizations.

A Data Analyst can also be divided into 4 different roles based on their skill sets.

  • Data Architects
  • Database Administrators
  • Analytics Engineer
  • Operations
But all these difference doesn't matter to a great extent because one cannot be successful without others.So if one is good at any of the above he/she has a great industry value now as well as in future.

Salary Comparision

Learn Data Science and Data Analyst, Boost your career in any of the fields.

Programming or Data Science?

09:32
What is trending more, programming or data science?

Every thing has a peak point in their whole life time.There was a time when there was huge demand of programers and at that time if you know basics of programing you may got placed in top IT companies.
But,the trend has changed now according to the industry demands.Cognitive computing are now the Hot Cakes of the market.The increase in automation are said to be main cause of this change.I have visited few companies and also talked to the company executives ,so according to them”Now a days new tools and technology are self suficient to program automatically also you can get a bunch of codes and functions from various open source sites which you can used in your work ,so why a company will focus and invest more in this particular feild”.
Talking about the data science,Yes there is huge demand in this field.Not only data science other fields like ML and DL are also in huge demand by IT industry.Because now a days lots of data are generated and processing and analysing those data is really difficult also it provides better result for the industry as well as for the consumers.

But yes,one thing is there that may be we are in the era of automation which is performed by machines ,we human only invented that particular technology so that is ordinary. It is said that “one extra ordinary human is much better than many ordinary machines” so always keep in mind that if you are extraordinary with your Programming skills then you still hold a good chance.
