Skills required by Data

Scientist
• Basics – Programming Language + Database
• Data manipulation and the application of various sets of algorithms
will demand expertise of specific programming languages for data
science professionals.
• Nevertheless, data scientists typically employ a few key languages.
• Python
• R Programming
• SQL
• Scala
• In addition, a few key databases are necessary to store data in a
structured manner and guarantee when and how data should be
called when needed.
• The following are a few of the most utilized databases by data
scientists:
• MongoDB
• MySQL
Statistical Analysis System (SAS)
SAS is a statistical and complex analytics tool developed by the SAS
Institute. It is one of the oldest data analysis tools mainly built to deal
with statistical operations. SAS is commonly used by professionals and
organizations that heavily rely on advanced analytics and complex
statistical operations. This reliable commercial software provides
various statistical libraries and tools that can be used for modeling and
organizing the given data.
Mathematics

• This is something that can’t be ignored if you’re choosing your career in this
field. To perform tasks and execute for the desired output, it is expected to
have a strong command of statistics and mathematics. Below is the list of
topics that you need to cover to get fluency while working as a data scientist
• Linear Algebra and Matrix
• Statistics
• Geometry
• Calculus
• Probability Distribution
• Regression
• Dimensionality Reduction
• Data Analysis & Visualization
• Being a data scientist would require you to work on data visualization
to display the pictorial forms of charts and graphs that can be easy to
understand. There are hefty of tools that are being used and some of
the popular ones are:
• Tableau: This is one of the most effective tools used for data analysis
and visualization by data scientists across different industries. It
enables users to extract the desired output without an actual single
line of code and has been widely accepted by companies
• Power BI: Among all, this is one of the most famous tools that is being
used by organizations today. Introduced in 2014, is a business
analytical tool to prepare data sets and analyze them on different
scales. The best part about this is that it’s absolutely free of cost and
open to use (unlike others) and that’s what makes it more demanding
among data scientists.
• 4. Web Scraping
• Technically, any online data that does exist can be scraped as
necessary. Companies utilize this technique to extract valuable data
including text, photos, videos, and other information to increase
productivity.
• Details may include testimonials from clients, surveys, polls, etc. With
the use of specific tools and software for this strategy, businesses of
all sizes (from small to large) are actively employing this method,
which can be made simpler by processing massive amounts of data.
Web scraping has been in high demand among data scientists in an
era where data is everything.
• Some of the most popular tools used for data scraping are:
• BeautifulSoup: It’s a python library that is used by data science
experts to extract and parse data from the websites directly to local
or database. To get started with this library, you are required to install
it using the terminal BeautifulSoup Installation
• Scrapy: Commonly used for data mining, and gathering useful content
from any particular website as and when required. Besides the fact,
that it was introduced back in 2008 for the purpose of web scraping
but today, it is widely used for data extraction using APIs (such as
AWS)
• Pandas: A python library that can be used to manipulate data for data
extraction and can be exported in the form of Excel or CSV.
• 5. ML with AI & DL with NLP

• To integrate tools and approaches in various logic, decision trees, etc., one
needs to have a thorough understanding of machine learning and artificial
intelligence. Any data scientist who possesses these skill sets will be able
to work on and resolve difficult challenges that are specifically created for
forecasts or for choosing future objectives. Those who have these abilities
will unquestionably stand out as knowledgeable professionals. A person
can work on various algorithms and data-driven models while also
handling enormous data sets, such as cleaning data by reducing
redundancies, with the aid of machine learning and AI principles.
• 6 Big Data
• Data is being produced at a rate of 2.5 quintillion bytes per day! The
amount of data we are producing has suddenly increased as a result
of the development of the internet, social media, and the Internet of
Things. The three V's of big data—volume, velocity, and veracity—are
all highly present in this data.Organizations are struggling to deal with
the overwhelming amount of data they have, and they are
implementing big data technologies quickly so that the data can be
stored effectively and used when needed.Some of the frameworks
and tools you need to learn include Hadoop, Spark, Apache Storm,
Flink, and Hive.
