Data Collection and
Preprocessing Techniques
1 Data Sources
The journey begins with data collection. Data sources can range from
structured databases to unstructured sources like social media feeds, sensor
readings, and web logs. Understanding the characteristics of each source is
crucial for effective analysis.

2 Data Cleaning
Raw data is often messy. It can contain errors, inconsistencies, missing
values, and duplicates. Data cleaning techniques, such as outlier detection,
imputation, and data normalization, are essential for preparing data for
analysis.

3 Data Transformation
Once cleaned, data may need transformation to make it suitable for analysis.
Techniques like feature scaling, data aggregation, and dimensionality
reduction are commonly used to improve the quality and efficiency of
analysis.
