R vs Python

It is a common challenge for a data scientist to decide whether to use Python or R for data analysis. While R was purely developed for statisticians, making it portray analysis a specific advantage for visualizing data, Python stands out with its general-purpose characteristics and the fact that it has a very regular syntax. Based on these differences, it is necessary to compare the two languages Read more

Graph Analytics and Big Data

Graph analytics, which is an analytics alternative that uses an abstraction called a graph model. The simplicity of this model allows for rapidly absorbing and connecting large volumes of data from many sources in ways that finesse limitations of the source structures (or lack thereof, of course). Graph analytics is an alternative to the traditional data warehouse model as a framework for absorbing both structured and unstructured data from various sources to enable analysts to probe the data in an undirected manner. Big data analytics systems should enable a platform that can support different analytics techniques that can be adapted in ways that help solve a variety of challenging problems. This suggests that these systems are high performance, elastic distributed data environments that enable the use of creative algorithms to exploit variant modes of data management in ways that differ from the traditional batch-oriented approach of traditional approaches to data warehousing.

Do you enjoy statistics and programming? Are you currently studying math and statistical learning (such as machine learning)? Are you excited to learn the latest technologies and techniques in data science? If your answers are more than just one yes, your career path may take you to data analysis very soon. Many students in programming and statistics can find a very remunerative career in data science, as it is an ever-growing field with a lot of potential. But right from the start, you have to ask yourself how you are going to approach this discipline and how you are going to tackle the programming challenges ahead of you. And here comes the question that all data scientists had to answer at the very beginning of their careers: should I learn Python or R programming to start working on data analysis? This is a tough question since Python and R are both versatile programming languages in data statistics. They were born in the same period (the late 80s or the start of the 90s) and bot
