DATA SCIENCE TRAINING TO BECOME BETTER DATA SCIENTISTS

Data scientist is one of the hottest jobs in trend. Ever wanted to know what the future has in store? Ever thought knowing that the future will help you prepare for it better? Well, data science provides you with that opportunity.Data science is mainly a study involving statistics, data analysis and machine learning. It discovers patterns between past events and data so as to predict future events. Data science makes artificial intelligence possible. It basically allows AI to use real time information to predict the future. For example, let us consider an automated car, data science provides the car with real time information using GPS, CCTV cameras and other resources and thereby helps the car to make decisions regarding which route to take and when to drive fast and as such. Data science helps predict the future of the stock market, which helps business companies to make deals accordingly. The data provided by data science is thereby very important for the business world.Many people think data science is similar to the statistics. It is not so. Data science requires a lot of work like gathering data, sorting data, debugging data and producing desirable output and serving them to clients. Data scientists require a lot of business knowledge so as to produce a desired output for a particular business matter. They also require programming skills, statistical knowledge and the ability to visualize a problem from various angles. They are the people who connect seemingly random numbers and figures into something tangible.The work of a data scientist starts with data mugging which includes extraction, transaction and loading of data (ETL) and debugging. Then, they have to assemble the algorithms required to attain the desired result and reduce the size of these data. Lastly, they create a visual representation of the data in the form of reports so that the whole process can be understood. The whole process is done using various programming languages like Python, R, Tableau, SQL, etc.To become a data scientist, one must have proper education in the field of mathematics or statistics or computer science or engineering. Moreover, an additional Masters degree on the subject, specifically, is also done by data scientists. Online training for Python, R, SQL are also done by them. Python is a favorite application for scientists as it allows easy making of algorithms. R is especially required by data scientists as it is specially made for this purpose. Data science is a recently growing field with huge importance and, therefore, it is very important to always be updated regarding recent developments. Other than these, data scientists should also be able to work with unstructured data. The Hadoop Platform is used very frequently in data science and hence its knowledge is preferred by companies worldwide.Various courses on data science are provided by renowned universities online.
