Study Notes
Data Science
Data Visualization
- Goal: to effectively communicate insights and patterns in data to stakeholders
- Importance:
- Helps in exploratory data analysis and hypothesis generation
- Facilitates communication of results to non-technical stakeholders
- Enhances understanding of complex data
- Types of visualizations:
- Univariate (single variable): histograms, box plots
- Bivariate (two variables): scatter plots, heatmaps
- Multivariate (multiple variables): parallel coordinates, radar charts
- Best practices:
- Choose the right type of visualization for the data
- Avoid 3D visualizations and unnecessary embellishments
- Use color effectively to convey information
- Consider interactive visualizations for exploration
Big Data
- Definition: large amounts of structured and unstructured data that exceed traditional processing capabilities
- Characteristics:
- Volume: large amounts of data
- Velocity: high speed of data generation
- Variety: diverse types of data (structured, semi-structured, unstructured)
- Veracity: uncertainty and inconsistencies in data
- Challenges:
- Storage and processing requirements
- Data quality and cleaning
- Scalability and parallel processing
- Technologies:
- Hadoop ecosystem: HDFS, MapReduce, YARN
- NoSQL databases: HBase, Cassandra, MongoDB
- Distributed processing: Spark, Flink
- Applications:
- Predictive analytics and machine learning
- Real-time analytics and streaming data
- Data warehousing and business intelligence
