Data Science

An interdisciplinary field using scientific methods, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.

Big Data

Extremely large and complex datasets that require advanced computational tools and techniques to store, process, and analyse.

Data Engineering

The practice of designing, building, and maintaining data infrastructure, pipelines, and architectures.

Exploratory Data Analysis

An approach to analysing datasets to summarise their main characteristics, often using statistical graphics and visualisation.

Statistical Modelling

The process of applying statistical analysis to a dataset, identifying relationships and patterns within the data.

Diagnostic Analytics

Analysis techniques focused on understanding why something happened by examining data patterns and correlations.

Time Series Analysis

Statistical techniques for analysing time-ordered data points to identify trends, cycles, and forecasting patterns.

Regression Analysis

A set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between dependent and independent variables.

Hypothesis Testing

A statistical method for making decisions about population parameters based on sample data evidence.

Bayesian Statistics

A statistical approach that incorporates prior knowledge and updates probability estimates as new data is observed.

Monte Carlo Simulation

A computational technique using repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results for problems with many coupled variables.

Business Analytics

The practice of iterative exploration of organisational data to drive business planning and decision-making.

A metadata management tool that helps organisations find, understand, and manage their data assets.

The analysis of historical data to understand what has happened in the past and identify patterns.

The graphical representation of data and information using visual elements like charts, graphs, and maps.

Online Analytical Processing — a category of software tools enabling analysis of data stored in databases for business intelligence.

The documentation of data's origins, movements, and transformations throughout its lifecycle.

A reusable, well-documented, and managed dataset or analytical asset created to serve specific business needs, treated with the same rigour as software products.

Tools and platforms enabling non-technical users to access and analyse data independently.

Statistical analysis measuring the strength and direction of the relationship between two or more variables.

Metrics

Quantitative measurements collected over time to track system performance, health, and business outcomes.
