DATA PROCESSING
What is Data Processing ?
Data processing occurs when data is
collected and translated into usable
information. Usually performed by a
data scientist or team of data
scientists, it is important for data
processing to be done correctly as
not to negatively affect the end
product, or data output.
1. DATA COLLECTION
The first step in data processing is data
collection. Data is gathered from
various sources, such as data lakes and
data warehouses. It is critical that the
data sources available are reliable and
well-constructed in order for the data
collected (and later used as
information) to be of the highest
possible quality.
2. DATA PREPARATION
The data collection stage is followed by the
Data preparation, also
data preparation stage.
known as "pre-processing," is the stage in
which raw data is cleaned up and organised in
preparation for the next stage of data
processing. Raw data is thoroughly checked for
errors during preparation. This step's goal is to
get rid of bad data (redundant, incomplete, or
incorrect data) and start creating high-quality
data for the best business intelligence.
3. DATA INPUT
