Data Science Specialist
Data is everywhere and it is transforming our world. Almost all industries are bracing big data and using different data analysis techniques to dig out valuable insights and create data-driven solutions for their challenges. R is rapidly becoming the leading programming language for effective data analysis and statistics. It is the tool of choice for many data science professionals in every industry. More and more companies are hiring professionals who can analyse data and uncover insights to make better decisions.
Star Data Science (SDS) is a certification program that introduces you to the world of data, its science and analytics. It helps you get started on your data science journey and build the skill-set required to tackle the real-world data analysis challenges as a data engineer. The program focuses on working with and exploring data using a variety of visualization, analytical, and statistical techniques. The SDS introduces the learners to R programming and how to use R for effective data analysis, detailing all aspects of R from data exploration and data wrangling, further to data analytics and visualization and to text mining and mobile analytics.
The program helps learners master the machine learning concepts and its capabilities in data visualization, and further discusses key concepts such as regression techniques, decision tree, recommendation engines, big data frameworks such as Hadoop, HIVE, MapReduce and Azure.
