Hello everyone, I would like to know what degree of practical experience one needs to start a PhD in Data Science. How much experience do I need related to ML or Data Mining or Data Analytics. Which software is a must in this regard?
For me, it should be non.. Remember this is a training positon, hence, You sure would gain the needed experience as you do ur Ph.D. However, having the needed experience would be an added advantage hence, you could finish ur programe on time.
Hi Taheri
You should have satisfactory experiences in the tasks:
- Conduct undirected research and frame open-ended industry questions;
- Extract huge volumes of data from multiple internal and external sources;
- Employ sophisticated analytics programs, machine learning and statistical methods to prepare data for use in predictive and prescriptive modeling;
- Thoroughly clean and prune data to discard irrelevant information;
- Explore and examine data from a variety of angles to determine hidden weaknesses, trends and/or opportunities;
- Devise data-driven solutions to the most pressing challenges;
- Invent new algorithms to solve problems and build new tools to automate work;
- Communicate predictions and findings to management and IT departments through effective data visualizations and reports and
- Recommend cost-effective changes to existing procedures and strategies.
For me, it should be non.. Remember this is a training positon, hence, You sure would gain the needed experience as you do ur Ph.D. However, having the needed experience would be an added advantage hence, you could finish ur programe on time.
Thanks everyone for your answers, you have provided me with a good insight to continue my journey.
