Decoding Data Science: A Useful Guide to Basic Terminology (Part 1)

Are you new to the world of data science and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the jargon and technical terms? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this 2-part series, we’ll be breaking down the basics of data science terminology to make it easy and accessible for everyone.

Today, we’ll be exploring five key terms that are essential to building a solid foundation in data science.

  1. Data Science

The field of combining programming, mathematics, and statistics to analyze data and provide insights for decision making and problem solving. Data Scientists have high-level technical skills and use various programming languages to collect, interpret, format, model, predict, and manipulate data.

  1. Algorithm

A set of repeatable instructions, usually expressed mathematically, used to process data. Algorithms can be constructed by humans or machines and adjusted until the desired result is achieved. Machines are now commonly used due to advancements in Artificial Intelligence.

  1. Data Analytics 

The process of using existing information to answer questions for better business decision-making. It involves continuous collection and analysis of data, with a focus on ensuring data integrity and accurate evaluation of research results.

  1. Data Mining 

The process of sorting large data sets to identify patterns and relationships that can help solve business problems. It is a component of Data Analysis and one of the core disciplines of Data Science. Data mining techniques and tools can be used to predict future trends and make more informed business decisions.

  1. Big Data 

A term used for data that is too large and complex for traditional data management tools to store and process efficiently. Big Data can provide more complete and precise answers by confirming information from multiple data sources.

Understanding these key terms is essential for anyone looking to get started in data science. Stay tuned next week as we continue to explore key concepts and terminology in data science.

“Data is the new oil.”

As we move deeper into the digital age, it’s becoming increasingly clear that data is the new oil – the most valuable resource of our time. Just like oil was the driving force behind the industrial revolution, data is now the key to unlocking success in today’s digital landscape. With the right data, you can make better decisions, gain a deeper understanding of your customers, and optimize your business processes. But just like oil, data needs to be refined and processed in order to be useful. That’s why it’s crucial to invest in the right tools and strategies to manage and analyze your data effectively. By doing so, you can stay ahead of the competition and harness the power of data to drive growth and success for your business.

Data Analytics in the Philippines: Unlocking Unlimited Potential

In recent years, the Philippines has seen a growing interest in data analytics, with organizations and companies investing in this field to improve their decision-making processes and gain a competitive edge. This trend is especially clear in the finance, healthcare, and e-commerce industries, where data analytics has become an essential tool for success.

The Philippine government has also recognized the importance of data analytics and has taken steps to promote its use. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) have started to offer free online training courses for data analysts to fix the skills mismatch and shortage that has been seen in this field. This training is intended to cater to unemployed individuals, including high school graduates, and equip them with the necessary skills to enter the job market.

The Analytics Association of the Philippines estimates that by 2028, the country will need 500,000 analytics professionals. This need is not just in the IT field; data analysts are also needed in many other business fields. The entry-level salary for data analysts in the Philippines can go as high as P25,000 per month, making it an attractive career option for many.

To meet the demand for skilled professionals in this field, universities in the Philippines are starting to offer courses and degree programs in data analytics. The University of the Philippines Diliman has a Master of Science in Data Science program, while Ateneo de Manila University has a Bachelor of Science in Data Science program. This move by universities is important for making sure that the Philippines has enough skilled workers to meet the growing demand for data analysts.

It is also important for companies and organizations to talk to people in the industry to find out what skills are needed for jobs. As Sherwin Pelayo, executive director of the Analytics Association of the Philippines, said, “We talked to our industry members, and they said that if these skills were taught in senior high school, we would hire those who possess them.” The executive director of Philippine Business for Education, Justine Raagas, agreed with this point of view and stressed the need to talk to these sectors because they know what is needed in the workplace.

The Department of Trade and Industry has also emphasized the importance of knowing the skill sets needed by companies and training people based on these needs to ensure their employability after graduation. This approach ensures that individuals are equipped with the necessary skills that are in demand in the job market.

In conclusion, the Philippines is slowly but steadily embracing data analytics, and we can expect more changes and improvements in this field in the coming years. The government, universities, and private sector must continue to work together to make sure that the workforce has the skills it needs to meet the growing demand for data analysts. By doing so, the Philippines can position itself as a hub for data analytics in the region, and its workforce can contribute to the country’s economic growth and development.

Devouring the Thoughts of Others

It’s not secret that one of the secrets to success is being well read.

You find a lot of people who might knock an education, offering their opinion as to how they got to where they got in life with out one or making fun of those who have one who are still idiots.

There is a lot of data out there though that is indisputable, the more education you have the higher the probability that you will be financially successful. A college degree is worth a lot more in potential earnings than a high school diploma.

But I digress, the point I started to make is that you have to read a lot. One of the indisputable benefits of a college education is you have to read a lot and read a lot of things you might not normally have read. This broadens you.

I read a lot. Like a book a week at least. And I am always reading stuff online. You can never stuff enough knowledge and wisdom in your brain. It’s impossible to fill.

So where attention goes (to being well read), energy flows (you get all kinds of new ideas), and results show (you make a lot less mistakes and errors in judgement).

And that is why I read a lot. Thanks T. Have Eker for proving my point which proves your point.

Keep Yourself Accountable

The best way to ensure you are focusing on results is to have accountability partners. One knowledgeable about your industry and your vision. A mastermind is the best way to surround your self with people who can help you stay on point. They should be like a board of advisors. This concept ad part of a Mastermind group, was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill.

In his book “Think and Grow Rich“, Hill described the Mastermind principle as, “The coordination of knowledge and effort between two or more people who work towards a definite purpose in a spirit of harmony…no two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind”, also known as, the Mastermind.

You should be part of a mastermind where you are helping other business minded individuals level up their businesses. You should also be part of a mastermind where you are amongst your peers, other business people at your level facing similar challenges. And finally, you should be part of a virtual mastermind with other leaders in your niche.

If you own or are thinking of owning your own business, you need to learn specifically what it takes to build an even more successful company, connect with other like-minded business owners, and discover new ways to create revenue streams!

We will show you how to use the latest technology to build even more leads, sales & streams of income! If you aren’t already thinking about how to use things like chatbots, auto responders and artificial intelligence to grow a business, you are way behind the curve. We specialize in teaching great concepts on how to become an inspiring leader, utilize great systems and become 100% laser focused!
