This document outlines the data science lifecycle which includes data acquisition, data preparation, hypothesis and modelling, evaluation and interpretation, and deployment. It discusses the typical effort breakdown for a data science project with 60% of time spent on organizing and cleaning data. Key aspects of each lifecycle stage are summarized, including common data sources, steps for data preparation, feature engineering techniques, example modelling algorithms and metrics, and operationalizing models through APIs. Example projects on predicting flight delays and foot traffic patterns are also briefly described.
