REVIEWER LECTURE 1 AND 2

Data science - Discover hidden patterns in raw data.

Uses several algorithms, machine learning(ML) principles, and scientific methods.

Retrieve insights from data lie in forms structured and unstructured.

Peter Naur – In 1960 Peter Naur uses the term as a substitute for computer science.

William Cleveland – In 2001 William S. Cleveland introduces data science as an independent

discipline in article Data Science: An Action Plan for Expanding the Technical Areas of the Field
of Statistics.

Application of Data Science:

Image Recognition - Using the face recognition algorithm of data science, we can get a lot done.

Speech Recognition - This facilitates luxury like speaking the content of a text to send, using your
virtual assistant to set an alarm, or even use it to play music, inquire about the weather, or make a call.

Internet Search - Search engines like Google, Duckduckgo, Yahoo, and Bing make good use of data
science to make fast, real-time searching possible.

Digital Advertisements - Data science algorithms let us understand customer behaviour. Using
this information, we can put up relevant advertisements curated for each user.

Recommender System - Names like Amazon and Youtube will throw in suggestions about
similar products aside or below as you browse through a product or a video.

Price Comparison Websites - Websites like Junglee and PriceDekho let us compare prices for
the same products across different platforms.

Gaming - As a player levels up, a machine learning algorithm can improve or upgrade itself.

Delivery Logistics - Freight giants like UPS, FedEx, and DHL use practices of data science to
discover optimal routes, delivery times, and transport modes among many others.

Fraud and Risk Detection - Practices like customer profiling and past expenditures let us analyze
whether there will be a failure.
Business Intelligent:

Works on structured data

focuses on the past and the present

The approach to BI is statistics and visualization;

Some tools for BI are Pentaho, Microsoft BI, and R;

Data Science:

works on both- structured and unstructured data

data science considers the present and the future.

statistics, machine learning, graph analysis, and NLP.

those for data science are RapidMiner, BigML, and R.

LIFE CYCLE OF DATA SCIENCE:

Discovery - you should understand what the project requires. Also consider the specifications,
the budget needed, and priorities.

Data Presentation - This phase includes developing datasets for training and testing.

Communicate Results - This is the second last phase in the cycle. You must determine whether
your goals have been met.

Operationalize - In the last phase, you must craft final reports, technical documents, and briefings

LECTURE 2

Python - is an object-oriented language, which means that it can model real-world entities.

Guido van Rossum named it after the comedy group Monty Python.

PHYTON ARCHITECTURE

Parser - It uses the source code to generate an abstract syntax tree.

Compiler - It turns the abstract syntax tree into Python bytecode.

Interpreter - It executes the code line by line in a REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) fashion.

Python constructs

Functions - is a collection of statements grouped under a name

Classes - It supports classes and objects. A class is an abstract data type

Modules - module is a collection of related classes and functions.

Packages - is a collection of related modules. You can either import a package or create your own.
