Adding.. my view on Data Science is Prediction (from data analysis result). This might be the main reason that drew my attention and intention to get to know it better.

Yepp! To bring some DATA ๐Ÿ˜‰ into the conversation – check a simple google search trend.
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=r%20for%20data%20science,python%20for%20data%20science
Most researches say it’s 50-50 – although Python is more popular in business world, while R is more popular in academics world.

I think it depends A LOT on the field you are working in. For instance, I work at a national statistical institute and, while R is quite common in this field, literally nobody uses python.

Anyway, great post Tomi! I definitely agree that it’s very beneficial for a career to learn some data science skills.

Thanks for the comment! And yes, I can agree with the importance of a dataviz/reporting tool. I personally prefer Tableau! : )

With a little improvement, a stong general statistics knowledge can be upgraded to be able to use Machine Learning
