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.

Data is the New oil of Industry?

Let's go back to 18th century ,when development was taking its first footstep.The time when oil was considered to be the subset of industrial revolution. Oil than tends to be the most valuable asset in those time. Now let's come back in present. In 21st century, data is vigorously called the foundation of information revolution. But the question that arises is why are we really calling data as the new oil. Well for it's explanation Now we are going to compare Data Vs Oil Data is an essential resource that powers the information economy in much the way that oil has fueled the industrial economy. Once upon a time, the wealthiest were those with most natural resources, now it’s knowledge economy, where the more you know is proportional to more data that you have. Information can be extracted from data just as energy can be extracted from oil. Traditional Oil powered the transportation era, in the same way that Data as the new oil is also powering the emerging transportation op...

Why Central Limit Theorem is Important for evey Data Scientist?

The Central Limit Theorem is at the core of what every data scientist does daily: make statistical inferences about data. The theorem gives us the ability to quantify the likelihood that our sample will deviate from the population without having to take any new sample to compare it with. We don’t need the characteristics about the whole population to understand the likelihood of our sample being representative of it. The concepts of confidence interval and hypothesis testing are based on the CLT. By knowing that our sample mean will fit somewhere in a normal distribution, we know that 68 percent of the observations lie within one standard deviation from the population mean, 95 percent will lie within two standard deviations and so on. In other words we can say " It all has to do with the distribution of our population. This theorem allows you to simplify problems in statistics by allowing you to work with a distribution that is approximately normal." The CLT is...

Future of Data Science

It is rightly said that Data Scientists would be shaping the future of the businesses in the years to come. And trust me they are already on their path to do so. Over the years, data is constantly being generated and collected as well. Now, the field of data sciences has put this humongous pile of data to good use. Now, data can be collected, processed, analyzed and converted into a highly useful piece of information that would benefit the businesses with better and well-informed decision-making capability. "Data is a Precious Thing and will Last Longer than the Systems themselves." Also, Vinod Khosla, an American Billionaire Businessman and Co-founder of Sun Microsystems declared – "In the next 10 years, Data Science and Software will do more for Medicines than all of the Biological Sciences together." By the above two statements, it is clear that data proliferation will never end and because of that, the use of data related technologies like Data Science and Big D...
