Data Analytics: The Data Analysis Process (Step-By-Step) 2021

[Rojoyerf]

This is absolutely brilliant. This and your 'introduction to data analysis' video have not only been presented as fun and engaging but have gotten me invested in a subject that I previously thought of as dull and boring. Not only that but you've also shone a light on how useful these cross-disciplinary skills are to me.

Thanks, I hope to learn more about this field in the near future :)

Can’t tell you how unbelievably helpful this is. So many videos about data analytics and job explainers tend to phrase data analytics as “just doing it”. Almost like 90s and early 2000s movie hackers that type randomly in a black and green terminal to take down a massive security system. All we are told and shown about data analytics is the representation portion of it.

This really allowed my fear of data to melt away. Presented so thoughtfully and clearly. Thank you.

This video is so helpful. I want to get into data analytics for my hospitality field. I love that you defined the mindset of an data analyst and the tools you need. Thanks

I'm dipping my toes into quantified self and data analysis (ObservableHQ since I prefer Javascript) to understand my health. I was very intimidated until this video gave me a clear outline! I took loads of notes and now better understand what I'm looking for.

[pchougle]

I have gone through many introduction videos on data analysis on YouTube but yours was the best and simplest video. Very well explained and easy to understand.

[mjbfomf]

Please I want to begin data analysis from the beginning. Seeing this video is awesome.

I used a competitor analysis strategy to grow my business, it was important for me to research what I could do to stay ahead of my competitors. I discovered competitor analysis tools, I use WASK's competitor analysis tool and I even recommend it. Competitor analysis is a good strategy in my opinion.

was my pleasure to see this insightful video regarding the data analysis, best summarized video i have ever watch on the youtube.

[modupeoje]

Yes your content is rich, your presentation is arresting! It took away my sleep. Good one! Like to see more of you

[christbryannokamfotso]

Thank you for your video. My question is going to be about data analysis. You presented some techniques: univariate or bivariate analysis, time-series analysis and then you said that all these types of analysis can be found in the 4 types of analysis: descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and perspective.

I am new to this field and I am working on a project and I have already cleaned the data and I am at the analysis stage. I have two questions that I would like to clarify:

1. At the analysis stage, do I have to apply the 4 types of analysis you presented?

2. What are the actions to be taken to do each of these 4 types of analysis? Meaning these are the technics to perform a descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and perspective analysis.


If you have a video that shows how to apply each of these types please link.

Thank you.

[gpypfoe]

it was a video that easily summarized the data analysis process. Define the first question in the data analysis process. Second, collect data. Third, organize the data. Fourth, analyze the data. I share the fifth result

[DM-suli]

Great video. Thank you for providing the names of the tools we can use, so many ppl leave that info out.

[mbyrmrk]

That video answered all my questions thank you

[adenikeomogenaija]
