Examine Python versions, available system interfaces, built-in tools, and user-defined modules.
GEL-4.03: Understand patterns of human behavior based upon real world observation.
allows you to research and reflect on the role of programming in understanding patterns of human behavior. There are many tools in the Python programming language that make processing large volumes of data easier so that patterns can be detected to make better business decisions.
Instructions:
Research the following and write a 2- to 3-page double-spaced paper (not including the title and reference pages) addressing the following:
Define big data.
Reference Introducing Data Science: Big Data, Machine Learning, and More, Using Python Tools, Chapter 1: Data Science in a Big Data World, or other scholarly resource.
Discuss the role of languages like Python in the analysis of big data, such as, but not limited to, a grocery store database of purchases.
How can software determine patterns of human behavior from this data?
How does this information affect business decisions?
What tools are available in Python to analyze data? List at least three.
Reference Introducing Data Science: Big Data, Machine Learning, and More, Using Python Tools, Chapter 3: Machine Learning / 3.1.3 Python Tools Used in Machine Learning; Python.org documentation; or other resources.
Select one specific tool and examine a hypothetical scenario where it would be used in analyzing data to determine a pattern.
Describe the tool and share a documentation resource.
Describe the hypothetical scenario where this tool could be used.
