Data Analysis
Data analysis is the process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, informing conclusions, and supporting decision-making.In today’s business world, data analysis plays a role in making decisions more scientific and helping businesses operate more effectively. Statistician John Tukey, defined data analysis in 1961, as:
“Procedures for analyzing data, techniques for interpreting the results of such procedures, ways of planning the gathering of data to make its analysis easier, more precise or more accurate, and all the machinery and results of (mathematical) statistics which apply to analyzing data”
Exploratory data analysis is an approach of analyzing data sets to summarize their main characteristics, often using statistical graphics and other data visualization methods. EDA is for seeing what the data can tell us beyond the formal modeling and thereby contrasts traditional hypothesis testing. Main advantage of EDA is providing the data visualization of data after conducting the analysis.

The objectives of EDA are to:
- Enable unexpected discoveries in the data
- Suggest hypotheses about the causes of observed phenomena
- Assess assumptions on which statistical inference will be based
- Support the selection of appropriate statistical tools and techniques
- Provide a basis for further data collection through surveys or experiments
Why is exploratory data analysis important in data science?
The main purpose of EDA is to help look at data before making any assumptions. It can help identify obvious errors, as well as better understand patterns within the data, detect outliers or anomalous events, find interesting relations among the variables.
Data scientists can use exploratory analysis to ensure the results they produce are valid and applicable to any desired business outcomes and goals. EDA also helps stakeholders by confirming they are asking the right questions. EDA can help answer questions about standard deviations, categorical variables, and confidence intervals. Once EDA is complete and insights are drawn, its features can then be used for more sophisticated data analysis or modeling, including machine learning.
Are you in need to better understand make good decisions by grow your business based on your dataset?
Let’s investigate your specific situation together in detail and explore your options. We can create a constructive environment to explore your raw data, enabling you to set the right plans and actions.
Usually these activities takes more time and need deep insights, so we can talk about the basics by a cup of coffee.
