According to a report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 11.5 million new jobs will be created in the data science field by the year 2026.

Many individuals want to be a part of the data scientist career path, but they are clueless about how to get started. Most of them think that they can’t be one because they don’t have an advanced degree or a specialisation with a data science subject in their formal education. But that is not the only way to become a data scientist, there are many other aspects, where one can focus on, to launch their careers in data science.

Role of a data scientist

Data scientists are analytical experts who work with business stakeholders to understand their goals and determine how data can be used to accomplish those goals. They combine computer science, statistics, and mathematics to process, analyse huge sets of structured and unstructured data. Then they share insights with peers to create actionable plans for the industry. Here are the key tasks and responsibilities of a data scientist:

  • Acquire, process, clean, integrate, and store data
  • Building models to solve business problems
  • Discovering new algorithms and developing programs to automate repetitive work
  • Presenting information with the help of data visualization techniques
  • Employ sophisticated analytical, statistical methods, and machine learning to prepare data for applying in predictive and prescriptive modeling.

Skills required for a data scientist

Let’s understand an outline of the skills required for data scientist and start working in the big data industry.

  • Statistical methods and probability theory
  • Probability distributions
  • Linear algebra
  • Hypothesis testing
  • Statistical modeling and fitting
  • Multivariable calculus
  • Data summaries and descriptive statistics
  • Regression analysis
  • Bayesian thinking and modeling
  • Markov chains
