Dаtа Anаlyst Project Life Cycle
- After carefully evaluating the business case in a particular domain, dаtа will be collected surrounding it.
- Using SQL, a dаtаbase will be created to store the dаtа collected in the previous step.
- Establish a connection between the dаtаbase and Tableau/Python/R tools to extract the required dаtа. Generate user-friendly reports according to the business needs and develop the dashboard using Tableau/Power BI.
Projects
- This project requires learners to anаlyze the patient dаtа of those suffering from different diseases across various summaries. The facility, chain organizations, and dialysis stations anаlysis is required to be carried out where the patients are undergoing dialysis. The project also focuses on the payment mode aspect wherein if any discounts or reduction in payments have happened then those are anаlyzed.
- In this project, learners anаlyze the loan given by a financial institution to different customers of varied grades and sub-grade levels. The anаlysis needs to consider the loan disbursement reasons, funded amount, and revolving balance values for every customer in different states and geolocations. The project requires the customers payment modes and the last payment values.
- This HR-related project considers the attrition rate of employees working at an organization at different levels. The attrition rate anаlysis is done with respect to different factors such as monthly income, last promotion year, job role, and work-life balance of every employee of different departments.
- The project requires learners to anаlyze the usage of different fuels in different facilities in different applications by finding the MMBTu and GWHt values. The fuels used for different geo-locations and for different primary titles are also taken into consideration while doing anаlysis.
- The primary aim of the project is to determine the different reasons behind the delay of flights of various airlines. The anаlysis needs to consider the number of flights in operation, the number of flights cancelled, and the statistical summary of week-wise, state-wise, and city-wise flight distributions.
- The market for a certain product is anаlyzed by considering a particular retail outlet which sells these products. The project involves statistical anаlysis on the payment distribution from different customers with the different modes of transactions across different product categories. The feedback from customers with respect to shipping days and other factors also needs to be considered while carrying out the anаlysis.
