The Data Analytics Journey D204
Questions and Answers 100% Solved
Data preparation Time ✔✔data preparation 80%, and everything else falls into about 20%
GIGO ✔✔garbage in, garbage out. That's a truism from computer science. The information you're
going to get from your analysis is only as good as the information that you put into it
Upside to In-house data ✔✔It's the fastest way to start., you may actually be able to talk with the
people who gathered the data in the first place.
Downside to In-house data ✔✔if it was an ad-hoc project, it may not be well documented. And
the biggest one is the data simply may not exist. Maybe what you need really isn't there in your
organization.
Open data ✔✔Basically it's data that is free because it has no cost and it's free to use that you can
integrate in your projects. Sources: Number one is government data, number two is scientific data
and the third one is data from social media and tech companies
APIs ✔✔An API or Application Programming Interface isn't a source of data but rather it's a way
of sharing data, it can take data from one application to another. Uses JSON files
Scraping data ✔✔Data scraping is, in a sense, the found art of data science. It's when you take the
data that's around you, tables on pages and graphs in newspapers, and integrate that information
into your data science work. Unlike the data that's available with API's or Application
Programming Interfaces, which is specifically designed for sharing, Data scraping is for data that
isn't necessarily created with that integration in mind.
Scraping Data and Ethics ✔✔there's still legal and ethical constraints that you need to be aware
of. For instance, you need to respect people's privacy. If the data is private, you still need to
maintain that privacy. You need to respect copyright. Just because something's on the web doesn't
mean that you can use it for whatever you want. The idea here is Visible Doesn't Mean Open just
like in an open market just because it's there in front of you and doesn't have a price tag doesn't
mean it's free. There are still these important elements of laws, policies, social practices that need
to be maintained to not get yourself in some very serious trouble. And so keep that in mind when
you're doing Data scraping.
Creating data/Get your own Data ✔✔natural observation, informal discussions with, for instance,
potential clients. You can do this in person in a one on one, or a focus group setting. You can do
it online through email, or through chat, and this time you're asking specific questions to get the
information you need to focus your own projects.Surveys. Words > Numbers. Let ppl express
themselves. Start general
Research Ethics when gathering data ✔✔informed consent,Also sometimes confidentiality, or
anonymity
Passive collection of training data ✔✔gathering enormous amounts of data doesn't always involve
enormous amounts of work. In certain re
