Data Analysis Overview: Data analysis is the process of collecting, processing,

cleansing, and modeling data. Its primary purpose is to extract valuable


information from raw data. explain the terms: "collecting, processing, cleansing,
and modelling"

In the context of Data analysis, the terms "collecting, processing,


cleansing, and modeling" refer to specific steps or stages in the overall
data analysis process. Here's an explanation of each term:

1. Collecting Data:
 This is the initial step in data analysis. It involves gathering
relevant data from various sources. Data can be collected
through methods such as surveys, experiments, sensors,
databases, web scraping, or any other means of data
acquisition.
 The collected data can be in the form of text, numbers,
images, or other types of information, depending on the
nature of the analysis.
2. Processing Data:
 Once data is collected, it often needs to be organized and
structured in a way that makes it suitable for analysis. This
step involves data preprocessing, which includes tasks like
data cleaning, integration, and transformation.
 Data processing may also involve aggregating, filtering, or
sorting the data to prepare it for more in-depth analysis.
3. Cleansing Data:
 Data collected from various sources may contain errors,
missing values, inconsistencies, or outliers. Data cleansing,
also known as data cleaning or data scrubbing, is the process
of identifying and rectifying these issues.
 Data cleansing ensures that the data used for analysis is
accurate and reliable, as errors or inconsistencies in the data
can lead to incorrect conclusions.
4. Modeling Data:
 Modeling refers to the creation of mathematical or statistical
representations of data that help in understanding patterns,
relationships, or trends within the data.
 Various techniques can be used for modeling, including
statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization.
These models can be used to make predictions, generate
insights, or identify meaningful patterns in the data.

In summary, data analysis involves a sequence of steps, starting with data


collection, followed by data processing to make it suitable for analysis,
data cleansing to ensure data quality, and finally, data modeling to
extract valuable insights or information. Each of these steps is crucial in
the overall process of turning raw data into actionable knowledge.
