Data Analysis

In Data Analysis, inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modelling the data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision-making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a spread of names, in several business, science, and science domains. Data mining may be a particular data analysis technique that focuses on modelling and knowledge discovery for predictive instead of purely descriptive purposes. Business intelligence covers data analysis that relies heavily on aggregation that specializes in business information. If we follow the statistical applications then we have seen, some people divide data analysis into descriptive statistics, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and confirmatory data analysis (CDA). EDA focuses on discovering new features within the data and CDA on confirming or falsifying existing hypotheses. The Predictive analytics is shown on application of statistical models for predictive forecasting or classification, while text analytics applies statistical, linguistic, and structural techniques to extract and classify information from textual sources, a species of unstructured data.

All are types of data analysis. Data integration may be a precursor to data analysis, and data analysis is closely linked to data visualization and data dissemination. The term data analysis is typically used as a synonym for data modelling.

Digital library:

In digital library there is a collection of digital objects that may include text, visual material, audio material, video material, stored as electronic media formats (as hostile print, microform, or other media), together with means for organizing, storing, and retrieving the files and media contained within the library collection. Digital libraries are in different size and scope, and may be maintained by individuals, organizations, or affiliated with established physical library buildings or institutions, or with academic institutions. The digital content could also be stored locally, or accessed remotely via computer networks. An electronic library could be a variety of information retrieval system.

Heterogeneous storage:

Heterogeneous (pronounced HEH-tuh-roh-DJEEN-ee-uhs, from the Greek heteros or "other" and genos or "kind") is that the characteristic of containing dissimilar constituents. a typical use of this word in information technology is to explain a product as able to contain or be a part of a "heterogeneous network," consisting of various manufacturers' products that may "interoperate." Heterogeneous networks are made possible by standards-conforming hardware and software interfaces utilized in common by different products, thus allowing them to speak with one another. the web itself is an example of a heterogeneous network.

Mathematica:

 Mathematica is a software where symbolic mathematical computation, computer algebra program, employed in many scientific, engineering, mathematical, and computing fields are included. This software was conceived by Stephen Wolfram and was developed by Wolfram Research of Champaign, Illinois. The Wolfram Language is  the artificial language utilized in Mathematica.

Google Scholar: 

Google Scholar is an internet, freely accessible computer programme that lets users explore for both physical and digital copies of articles. 

It searches a good type of sources, including academic publishers, universities, and preprint depositories looking for: 

* Peer-reviewed articles 

* Theses * Books 

* Technical reports 

* Abstracts 

* Reprints
