Topic: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

Abstract: "A picture is worth a thousand words." Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is an attitude to analyzing the data that employs a variety of techniques (mostly Data Visualization) and tries to make some sense of it. EDA and data visualization are the most crucial yet overlooked stage in analytics process. EDA is becoming more and more important for modern data analysis, such as business analytics and business intelligence. EDA is useful for professionals as it uses collection of “statistical graphics" while a detailed yet simple data visualization is useful for end-users. EDA helps in understanding the data. Understanding the data brings familiarity with the data, giving insights on the best models that fit the data set, the features in the dataset that will be useful for building an accurate machine learning model, making feature engineering an easy process. In this speech, I will give a detailed explanation on what EDA and data visualization are and why they are very helpful in building accurate models for analytics as well as enhancing productivity and better understanding for researches.
