EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS (EDA)
Are you drowning in oceans of data, yet struggling to turn it into real insights?
EDA refers to the process of applying statistics and critical analysis on data to discover patterns, spot anomalies, and test hypotheses you want to explore. Sound like science? It is. Doing EDA requires skills and tools that your IT organization may not have. Our Data Scientists use a variety of statistics, tools, and techniques to pull together, analyze, and visualize data – important steps to better understand your business. Typically, you will need data from multiple sources within your organization and oftentimes from publicly available datasets.
