Study Notes
Introduction to data
- Data can be numbers, text, images, or anything with information.
- Time series data is a sequence of information taken at regular intervals, like weather measurements or heart rate data.
- Geographical data is linked to a location on Earth, useful for transportation applications.
- Unstructured data lacks a pre-defined format, making it challenging to analyze.
- Data vs. Information: Data itself may not be meaningful until it is processed or interpreted, turning it into information.
Introduction to data science
- Data science involves analyzing data to gain insights for business or research.
- It draws from fields like mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence, and computer engineering
-
Key Components:
- Computer Engineering: builds the infrastructure to handle and process data.
- Artificial Intelligence: facilitates learning from data and making predictions.
- Statistics: analyzes data to find patterns and make inferences.
- Mathematics: provides the foundation for algorithms and data analysis techniques.
The big picture
- Data science aims to transform data into actionable insights and decisions.
Sources of Data
