    Study Notes

    Data Exploration Approaches

    • Not all methods belong to data exploration; certain analytical techniques may not fit this category.
    • Data exploration typically involves initial investigations to understand data characteristics.

    Data Cleansing Practices

    • Data cleansing involves processes like removing duplicates, correcting inconsistencies, and filling in missing values.

    Importance of Data Exploration Techniques

    • Employing data exploration techniques is crucial for identifying patterns, anomalies, and insights to inform data-driven decisions.
    • It ensures the data's integrity before further analysis or modeling.

    Data Quality Issues

    • Common data quality issues include inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and missing information, which can be addressed through data cleansing.

    Data Types and Conversion

    • Examples of data types include numerical, categorical, and temporal; conversion processes may include changing data formats or types (e.g., converting text to date).

    Understanding Data Models

    • A data model is best described as an abstract representation of how data elements interact and are structured within a system.
    • It outlines relationships and constraints among various data points.

    Purpose of Data Modeling

    • The purpose of data modeling is to organize and define how data is stored, accessed, and manipulated, enhancing database efficiency.

    Relation to Data Science

    • Statistics is a field closely related to data science, providing essential methodologies for data analysis.

    Examples of Data Science Tools

    • Data science tools include programming languages like Python, R, tools such as TensorFlow, and platforms like Apache Spark for big data processing.

    Tasks Performed Using Data Modeling

    • Data modeling facilitates tasks such as database design, data integration, query optimization, and schema management.
