Differentiate between univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis.

Univariate analysis are descriptive statistical analysis techniques which can be differentiated based on one variable involved at a given point of time. For example, the pie charts of sales based on territory involve only one variable and can the analysis can be referred to as univariate analysis.

The bivariate analysis attempts to understand the difference between two variables at a time as in a scatterplot. For example, analyzing the volume of sale and spending can be considered as an example of bivariate analysis.

Multivariate analysis deals with the study of more than two variables to understand the effect of variables on the responses.

Deep Learning Interview Questions - Part 1

Q1. What do you mean by Deep Learning? Deep Learning is nothing but a paradigm of machine learning which has shown incredible promise in recent years. This is because of the fact that Deep Learning shows a great analogy with the functioning of the human brain. Q2. What is the difference between machine learning and deep learning? Machine learning is a field of computer science that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning can be categorised in the following three categories. Supervised machine learning, Unsupervised machine learning, Reinforcement learning Deep Learning is a subfield of machine learning concerned with algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain called artificial neural networks. Q3. What, in your opinion, is the reason for the popularity of Deep Learning in recent times? Now although Deep Learning has been around for many years, the major breakthroughs from these te...

R vs Python: Who is the Winner according to me...!!

As a data scientist, you probably want and need to learn Structured Query Language, or SQL. SQL is the de-facto language of relational databases, where most corporate information still resides. But that only gives you the ability to retrieve the data — not to clean it up or run models against it — and that’s where Python and R come in.R and Python both share similar features and are the most popular tools used by data scientists. Both are open-source and henceforth free yet Python is structured as a broadly useful programming language while R is created for statistical analysis. A little background on R R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman — two statisticians from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. It was initially released in 1995 and they launched a stable beta version in 2000. It’s an interpreted language (you don’t need to run it through a compiler before running the code) and has an extremely powerful suite of tools for statistical modeling and graphing...

How to deal with missing values in data cleaning

The data you inherit for analysis will come from multiple sources and would have been pulled adhoc. So this data will not be immediately ready for you to run any kind of model on. One of the most common issues you will have to deal with is missing values in the dataset. There are many reasons why values might be missing - intentional, user did not fill up, online forms broken, accidentally deleted, legacy issues etc. Either way you will need to fix this problem. There are 3 ways to do this - either you will ignore the missing values, delete the missing value rows or fill the missing values with an approximation. Its easiest to just drop the missing observations but you need to very careful before you do that, because the absence of a value might actually be conveying some information about the data pattern. If you decide to drop missing values : df_no_missing = df.dropna() will drop any rows with any value missing. Even if some values are available in a row it will still get dropp...
