数据科学是一个使用科学方法的多学科领域, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. Similar to data mining and “big data”, data science is crucial to modern day marketing, with the growth of e-commerce and social media being able to target consumers directly through it. 数据科学对下一波营销和消费者分析至关重要.
Data analytics is the process of examining data sets in order to draw conclusions about the information they contain, 越来越多地借助专门的系统和软件. Data analytics technologies and techniques expand across a multitude of industries (consumer products, healthcare, manufacturing), 并使组织能够做出更明智的业务决策.
A data analyst is similar to a data scientist, but are often not responsible for creating the algorithms used for data discovery and acquisition. Rather than creating their own data projects, 数据分析师经常发现自己使用现有工具来处理特定的业务任务, systems, and data sets. Both careers share a common goal: to discover how to use information to answer questions and solve problems for the benefit of their business/industry.
