A lot of candidates are showing interest to learn Data Science and Business Analytics. Based on my experience, I would recommend candidates following tips
- Always think of business scenario, what is a business problem or question you are trying to solve
- Consider the type of Decision Problem and think of Statistical/Machine Learning Method to use
- Consolidate your thinking ,the type of data to be considered etc
- Explore, Summarize, Visualize, Analyze and Model the data
- Validate the results and present the results to relevant stakeholders with confidence
Logical Thinking, Application of Common Senese, Making Things Simple and Cross Validation are fundamental to any of the Data Science problem solution approach.
