Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines statistics, programming, and domain knowledge to extract insights from data. Here's a quick overview of its core components:
🔑 Key Concepts
- Data Collection: Gathering raw data from various sources (databases, APIs, sensors)
- Data Cleaning: Preprocessing data to handle missing values and outliers
- Data Analysis: Using statistical methods to identify patterns and trends
- Machine Learning: Building predictive models with algorithms like Linear_Regression or Decision_Tree
- Data Visualization: Presenting results through charts and graphs (e.g., Bar_Chart, Scatter_Plot)
🌍 Applications
- Business intelligence
- Healthcare analytics
- Financial forecasting
- Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Recommender systems
🚀 Learning Path
- Master Python (essential for data manipulation)
- Learn SQL for database queries
