Handling Data

The technique used to collect data often determines the type of models that can be utilized. If a seismograph only reported the current reading of seismic activity once an hour, it would be meaningless. The data would not be high fidelity enough to predict earthquakes. The job of a data scientist in an IoT project does not start after the data is collected but rather, the data scientist needs to be part of the building of the device. When a device is built, the data scientist needs to determine whether the device is emitting the type of data that is appropriate for machine learning. Next, the data scientist helps the electrical engineer determine whether the sensors are in the right places and whether there is a correlation ...
