Data science is an all-encompassing term for other data-related roles and fields.

Let’s look at some


of them here:

What is the difference between data science and data analytics?


While the terms may be used interchangeably, data analytics is a subset of data science. Data
science is an umbrella term for all aspects of data processing—from the collection to modeling to
insights. On the other hand, data analytics is mainly concerned with statistics, mathematics, and
statistical analysis. It focuses on only data analysis, while data science is related to the bigger
picture around organizational data.In most workplaces, data scientists and data analysts work
together towards common business goals. A data analyst may spend more time on routine analysis,
providing regular reports. A data scientist may design the way data is stored, manipulated, and
analyzed. Simply put, a data analyst makes sense out of existing data, whereas a data scientist
creates new methods and tools to process data for use by analysts.

What is the difference between data science and business analytics?


While there is an overlap between data science and business analytics, the key difference is the use
of technology in each field. Data scientists work more closely with data technology than business
analysts.Business analysts bridge the gap between business and IT. They define business cases,
collect information from stakeholders, or validate solutions. Data scientists, on the other hand, use
technology to work with business data. They may write programs, apply machine learning
techniques to create models, and develop new algorithms. Data scientists not only understand the
problem but can also build a tool that provides solutions to the problem.It’s not unusual to find
business analysts and data scientists working on the same team. Business analysts take the output
from data scientists and use it to tell a story that the broader business can understand.

What is the difference between data science and data engineering?


Data engineers build and maintain the systems that allow data scientists to access and interpret
data. They work more closely with underlying technology than a data scientist. The role generally
involves creating data models, building data pipelines, and overseeing extract, transform, load
(ETL). Depending on organization setup and size, the data engineer may also manage related
infrastructure like big-data storage, streaming, and processing platforms like Amazon S3.Data
scientists use the data that data engineers have processed to build and train predictive models. Data
scientists may then hand over the results to the analysts for further decision making.

What is the difference between data science and machine learning?


learning?Machine learning is the science of training machines to analyze and learn from data the
way humans do. It is one of the methods used in data science projects to gain automated insights
from data. Machine learning engineers specialize in computing, algorithms, and coding skills specific
to machine learning methods. Data scientists might use machine learning methods as a tool or work
closely with other machine learning engineers to process data.

What is the difference between data science and statistics?


Statistics is a mathematically-based field that seeks to collect and interpret quantitative data. In
contrast, data science is a multidisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, and
systems to extract knowledge from data in various forms. Data scientists use methods from many
disciplines, including statistics. However, the fields differ in their processes and the problems they
study.
