    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
