8. What is a
Data
Scientist?
professionals who have the technical ability
to handle complicated issues as well as the
desire to investigate what questions need to
be answered.
They're a mix of mathematicians, computer
scientists, and trend forecasters.
They're also in high demand and well-paid
because they work in both the business and
IT sectors.

9. On a daily
basis, a data
scientist
may do the
following
tasks:
Discover patterns and
trends in datasets to get
insights.
Create forecasting
algorithms and data
models.
Improve the quality of
data or product offerings
by utilising machine
learning techniques.
Distribute suggestions to
other teams and top
management.
In data analysis, use data
tools such as R, SAS,
Python, or SQL.
Top the field of data
science innovations.

10. What Does a
Data Scientist
Do?
Determine the
problem.
Determines the
correct set of
variables and
datasets.
Gather structured
and unstructured
data from many
sources.
Convert raw data
into a suitable
format.
Apply ML
algorithms.
Interpret the data to
find opportunities
and solutions.
Prepare the
results and
insights to share
with stake
holders.

11. Why Become
a Data
Scientist?
• According to Glassdoor and Forbes,
demand for data scientists will
increase by 28 percent by 2026,
which speaks of the profession’s
durability and longevity, so if you
want a secure career, data science
offers you that chance.

12. Use of Data
Science
1. Data science may detect patterns in seemingly
unstructured or unconnected data, allowing
conclusions and predictions to be made.
2. Tech businesses that acquire user data can
utilize strategies to transform that data into
valuable or profitable information.
3. Data Science has also made inroads into the
transportation industry, such as with driverless
cars.
4. Data Science applications provide a better level
of therapeutic customization through genetics
and genomics research.

13. Data Scientist
Job role: Determine what the
problem is, what questions
need answers, and where to
find the data. Also, they mine,
clean, and present the relevant
data.
Skills needed: Programming
skills (SAS, R, Python),
storytelling and data
visualization, statistical and
mathematical skills, knowledge
of Hadoop, SQL, and Machine
Learning.

14. Data Analyst
Job role: Analysts bridge the gap
between the data scientists and the
business analysts, organizing and
analyzing data to answer the
questions the organization poses.
They take the technical analyses and
turn them into qualitative action
items.
Skills needed: Statistical and
mathematical skills, programming
skills (SAS, R, Python), plus
experience in data wrangling and
data visualization.

15. Data Engineer
Job role: Data engineers focus on
developing, deploying, managing,
and optimizing the organization’s
data infrastructure and data
pipelines. Engineers support data
scientists by helping to transfer
and transform data for queries.
Skills needed: NoSQL databases
(e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra DB),
programming languages such as
Java and Scala, and frameworks
(Apache Hadoop).

16. Data
Science
Tools
Data Analysis: SAS, Jupyter, R
Studio, MATLAB, Excel, RapidMiner
Data Warehousing: Informatica/
Talend, AWS Redshift
Data Visualization: Jupyter, Tableau,
Cognos, RAW
Machine Learning: Spark MLib,
Mahout, Azure ML studio

17. Difference
Between
Business
Intelligence
and Data
Science
BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE DATA SCIENCE
Uses structured data Uses both structured and
unstructured data
Analytical in nature - provides a
historical report of the data
Scientific in nature - perform an in-
depth statistical analysis on the
data
Use of basic statistics with
emphasis on visualization
(dashboards, reports)
Leverages more sophisticated
statistical and predictive analysis
and machine learning (ML)
Compares historical data to current
data to identify trends
Combines historical and current
data to predict future performance
and outcomes
