to extract insights from data. It
is an umbrella term for a
group of fields like DA,
ML……
02. Data: is any pieces of
information represented in the
form of text, image, numbers,
sounds etc.
03. Data Analytics is a sub
field in data science that
focuses on utilizing data to
draw meaningful insights and
solving problem
04. Data Analysis: is a process
in data analytics workflow. It is
the application of statistics to
derive a summary of data.
05. Business Intelligence:
combines business analytics,
data mining, data visualization,
data tools and infrastructure,
and best practices to help
organizations to make more
data-driven decisions.
4. DATA SCIENCE
& ANALYTICS
TERMS
• 06. Machine Learning: is a sub field of AI and
DS. The ability of machines to produce outcomes. It's
all about implementing algorithms that lets machine
receives data and uses the data to make prediction
and identify patterns and give recommendation. ML
cannot be implemented without data. Demand for
real-time dashboards open opportunities for ML.
• 07. Artificial Intelligence: is simulating human
knowledge and decision making with computers. We
reach ai through Machine Learning.
• 08. Augmented Analytics: is the use of enabling
technologies such as machine learning and AI to
assist with data preparation, insight generation and
insight explanation to augment how people explore
and analyze data in analytics and BI platforms. We
leverage augmented analytics to eliminate iterative
processes like improve data quality, monitor data,
prepare data and derive quick insights.

21. COMMON MISTAKES
BEGINNERS MAKE
www.datatechcon.com 21
Assuming it's easy -
when u start skills its
easy to assume that
consolidating the data
is easy.
Records count - check
the record count 50
states showing 100
Verify your
calculations - don't
trust the numbers. Use
a calc
Failing to ask for data
dictionary - create
one if it doesn’t exist
Making assumption -
don't assume ask
questions
Making calculations
hard to use -
document
Joins - spend more
time working with
multiple tables to
improve joins
Limited access to the
database - working
with only csv or excel
