3. Data drawing - drawing the dataset involves relating inaccuracies, missing values, duplicates, and inconsistencies, and also
removing correcting the duplicates. Clean data is really important because it'll affect the analysis and modeling trust ability.
4. Data Discovery (EDA- Exploratory Data Analysis) - Data discovery can involve determining patterns or trends,
distributions, and connections, using statistical summaries and illustrations. You want to probe the data to reveal its retired
perceptivity, or formerly you have discovered that you make farther analysis easier.
5. Data Transformation - Eventually, you want to transfigure your data into a form that makes it suitable for analysis (e.g.),
homogenizing values, garbling categorical variables, or rooting new deduced features to ameliorate model performance.
6. Data Modeling - Use models (statistical/ machine literacy) to make prognostications or bracket. The model that you use
depends on the type of problem you're trying to break (ie., retrogression, bracket, clustering) .
7. Model Evaluation - estimates your model performance and delicacy using evaluation criteria. Exemplifications include;
root mean square error (RMSE), delicacy, perfection, recall or AUC- ROC. This step is important to assessing your model
trust ability, before deployment.
8. Interpretation and perceptivity - Translate logical answers into meaningful perceptivity. You'll explain what the data is
telling you and how it can be used to break the original problem or inform decision- timber.
9. Data Visualization - Fantasizes your analysis using maps, graphs, and dashboards. Effective visualization helps others to
digest information snappily and understand complex information.
10. Deployment and Monitoring - Emplace your model or perceptivity in a real- world situation (e.g., dashboard, business
tool). Continuously cover the model’s performance and acclimate it as necessary.
