Applied Analytics: Some Yukon Examples
Yukon Science Community of Practice (SCOPe) Fall 2017 Data Science Series
“SCOPe is defining data science as an interdisciplinary field about scientific methods, processes and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms.
Data science includes data mining, data visualization, working with big datasets, working with small datasets, data governance, open data, business analytics and much more.”

What do data scientists do?
★ Traditional statistical analysis: descriptive statistics, sampling, inferential methods, predictive analytics, etc.
★ Data munging: scraping, parsing, knitting and formatting a.k.a data wrangling
★ Visualization: tables, graphs, charts and dynamic insights
Adapted from Cathy O’Neil and Rachel Schutt. 2014. Doing Data Science: Straight Talk from the Frontline.
Takeaway: “data scientists” are actually “data science teams”.
