Big Data Scientist (module 4,5,6)

A Certified Big Data Scientist has demonstrated proficiency in the application of principles, processes, and techniques required for exploring and analyzing large volumes of complex data with the goals of discovering novel insights, developing data products, and communicating analytic results that can drive decision making.

Along with a firm understanding of fundamental and advanced Big Data concepts and terminologies, a Certified Big Data Scientist is also required to have a thorough understanding of Big Data analysis lifecycle and foundational mechanisms essential for acquiring, processing and storing Big Data datasets. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) and confirmatory data analysis (CDA) techniques, statistical concepts, visualization tools and machine learning algorithms are taught and assessed in this certification program. A Certified Big Data Scientist understands the art of model development and evaluation and possesses an in-depth knowledge of both fundamental and advanced analysis techniques required for building descriptive and predictive models.

Note that the Big Data Scientist certification program is based on vendor-neutral coverage of technologies and a broad treatment of various statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms. The attainment of this certification, does not requires any knowledge of specific products or the underlying mathematical formulas involved in performing analysis and developing models. This certification imparts the necessary skills and understanding required for successful exploration and interpretation of Big Data datasets. This knowledge establishes a sound foundation that can be further built upon with additional training, accreditation and experience.

Module 4: Fundamental Big Data Analysis & Science (duration: 6 hours)

It provides an in-depth overview of essential topic areas pertaining to data science and analysis techniques relevant and unique to Big Data with an emphasis on how analysis and analytics need to be carried out individually and collectively in support of the distinct characteristics, requirements and challenges associated with Big Data datasets.

Module 5: Advanced Big Data Analysis & Science (duration: 6 hours)

This module delves into a range of advanced data analysis practices and analysis techniques that are explored within the context of Big Data. The course content focuses on topics that enable participants to develop a thorough understanding of statistical, modeling, and analysis techniques for data patterns, clusters, and text analytics, as well as the identification of outliers and errors that affect the significance and accuracy of predictions made on Big Data datasets.

Module 6: Big Data Analysis & Science Lab (6 hours)

This course module covers a series of exercises and problems designed to test the participant’s ability to apply knowledge of topics covered previously in course modules 4 and 5. Completing this lab will help highlight areas that require further attention, and will further prove hands-on proficiency in Big Data analysis and science practices as they are applied and combined to solve real-world problems.
