Summary
Data exploration is a crucial process in understanding raw data's structure, quality, and other measurable characteristics. It helps identify outliers, improve decision-making, and develop better machine learning models. However, exploring data can be challenging due to issues such as data security, volume, variety, bias representation, and domain knowledge. To address these challenges, analysts should follow a structured data exploration process that includes defining business objectives, identifying relevant data sources and types, collecting, preprocessing, and storing data, establishing metadata, and conducting appropriate analysis using tools like Encord, Amazon SageMaker, Databricks, Python, and Jupyter.
