Data Science - Study Guide
Compiled Lecture Notes and Study Material
Preface
This study guide is intended to provide a structured overview of the subject: Data Science. It
contains summarized lecture notes, definitions, theorems, and exercises designed for
students preparing for exams.
Chapter 1: Data Preprocessing
This section covers the fundamentals of data preprocessing in Data Science.
Key Points
• Definition and terminology
• Core theorems or principles
• Example problems with solutions
Example Formula
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B|A) (Probability Rule)
Concept Definition Example
Mean Average value of dataset μ = Σx / n
Variance Measure of data spread σ² = Σ(x-μ)² / n
Chapter 2: Exploratory Data Analysis
This section covers the fundamentals of exploratory data analysis in Data Science.
Key Points
• Definition and terminology
• Core theorems or principles
• Example problems with solutions
Example Formula
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B|A) (Probability Rule)
Concept Definition Example
Mean Average value of dataset μ = Σx / n
Variance Measure of data spread σ² = Σ(x-μ)² / n
