Abstract

Data science describes the process of asking questions, analyzing, and manipulating large data sets in the search for patterns and knowledge by using diverse mathematical models and methods (Sullivan, 2018). With the great advances of technology and computer science, scientists now have quick access to large amounts of data from a variety of sources. These sources are digitilized and can be monetary as in credit card/banking information or even the most personal from Electronic Medical Records. Concurrently there has been increased capacity to store and retrieve these huge amounts of data electronically. The speed of delivering all this data by electronic transmission is something never experienced before. This speed coupled with organization and labeling of the data within software programs makes it easy to use the data for different analyses.
