Data Science

Introduction to Data Science

What is Data Science?
Data Science is a study of huge amounts of data in order to solve complex analytical problems.

What does it include?
Also known as Data-driven science, Data Science encompasses data analysis using automated methods in order to extract knowledge or insights which can be utilized as resources in the creation of business and IT strategies in various areas such as social science and humanities. Development of scientific methods, processes and algorithms is involved in data science and studying data includes data sources, data representations and data inference.

Why is Data Science in demand?

Simply put, the demand of data scientists is increasing like never before and it is getting difficult to find people with even basic analytical skills. The application areas in which data science can be used in limitless.
Data scientists use tools which are uncommon unlike the data sheets containing rows and columns which everyone is familiar with. They use programming languages like Hadoop, R, Panda which give them respect in the tech community. Data Scientists get paid handsomely and the recruiters also use data science to study what can be done to make sure the supplies meets the demand. Data Scientists get popular because they are doing the work which is useful for others. Big technological giants like Google, Facebook and Amazon already have separate bunch of data scientists in house and they are already applying data science in their businesses and products which has a huge impact on our everyday life.

Harvard has said that Data Scientist is the sexiest job and clearly, a simple google search for 'Data Scientists Jobs' could tell you why!

What are the skills required to be a data scientist?

Some of the common skills that a data scientists should have are Statistics, Data Visualization, Logical Thinking Capacity, Analytical Knowledge, Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Skills and Programming Languages. You may wonder are there people with so many skills combined together? Well, you may have some of the skills already embedded within yourselves and if you have the urge to become successful in this career, you can directly hop into such a job and develop rest of the skills overtime.

Bipartite and semihamiltonian graphs

Bipartite Graph: A graph is bipartite if its vertex set can be partitioned into two subsets X and Y so that every edge has one end in X and one end in Y; such a partition (X,Y) is called bipartition of the graph, and X and Y its parts. ex.- Notation: We denote a bipartite graph G with bipartition (X,Y) by G[X,Y]. Complete Bipartite Graph: If G[X,Y] is simple and every vertex in X is joined to every vertex in Y, then G is called a Complete Bipartite graph. ex.- Semi-Hamiltonian Graph: A semi-Hamiltonian graph is a graph that contains a Hamiltonian path, but not a Hamilton cycle. Hamiltonian Path: A Hamiltonian path in an undirected or directed graph is a path which visits each vertex exactly once. ex.- C-A-D-B-E is a Hamiltonian path Hamiltonian Cycle: A Hamiltonian cycle or a Hamiltonian Circuit is a Hamiltonian path which is a cycle. This post will be useful in understanding a question: "The nabhi kamal grapg is:" (A)Bipartite graph (B)Semi-...

Accessibility : An Important consideration in software development

What is Accessibility? Accessibility is a very important piece of consideration in today's market. It means the quality of being able to be reached or entered. Accessibility focuses on how a physically or mentally disabled person accesses or benefits from a site, system or application.  Conformance with accessibility guidelines while developing a web page or an app is important. What does accessibility mean for software development? Accessibility isn't about taking away functionality or making things difficult for the software development team. It is about making sure all possible users have a way to use the system.  How do information architects and web designers/developers design web pages to be compatible with assistive devices is an important aspect when thinking about accessibility. What does accessibility mean for software testing? Accessibility Testing checks if a product is accessible to the people having disabilities. We need to understand ...

Android 102

This post is in continuation with an earlier post : Android 101 1. Common attributes used in views and viewgroups: -layout_width -layout_height -layout_marginTop -layout_marginBottom -layout_marginLeft -layout_marginRight -layout_gravity: specifies how child views are positioned -layout_weight: specifies how much of the extra space in the layout should be allocated to the view -layout_x -layout_y 2. LinearLayout: arranges views in a single column or a single row. Child views can be arranged either vertically or horizontally. 3.AbsoluteLayout: enables you to specify the exact location of its children using layout_x and layout_y. AbsoluteLayout has been deprecated since android 1.5 4.TableLayout: groups views into rows and columns. You use <TableRow> element to designate a row in the table. Each row can contain one or more views. Each view you place within a row forms a cell. The width of each column is determined by the largest width of each cell in that column. 5....
