Prototypes advanced analytics data products (models for business recommendations, segmentations, optimizations & statistical forecasts) across marketing, sales, pricing & logistics
In order to create the relevant algorithms which can improve how the business operates – the data scientists follow a series of steps. This cycle represents the data scientist responsibilities
Business Understanding - acquire understanding of the business problem with the help of business analyst, by asking the right questions
Data Understanding – Lead the exploration of the data. In order to acquire knowledge which will contribute to the success of the models
Modelling – Create hypothesis of which models could fit the data, test the different hypothesis, find optimal parameters
Results – Data scientist will share prototype results and get feedback to have its model improved
Cycle will be repeated until the maturity is enough to be accepted for business use
