Have you ever wondered how data scientists tackle a data related problem, summarize the main features of a data set and derive the insights they need to decide which analytics or machine learning techniques to apply? Did you know that Data Scientists and their teams spend more than 80% of their time cleaning, preparing and transforming a data set?
