足彩app哪个是正规的 origins of data science trace back to the 1960s when mathematician John Turkey referred to the discipline as a then \u201cunrecognized science\u201d which involved learning from data. 足彩app哪个是正规的 field didn\u2019t really advance, however, until the early 2000s when artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning\u202fbecame possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike more specialized data-related fields \u2014 such as data mining or data engineering \u2014 data science encompasses the entire cycle of translating raw data into usable information. This information can then be applied in a wide variety of applications. In the past two decades, for example, it has helped identify and predict diseases, prevented tax evasion and even predicted incarceration rates, to name just a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the new field\u2019s success, there is a growing demand for graduates with a background in data science. In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, data scientist jobs are predicted to experience a 36% growth between 2021 and 2031.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help meet this need, the University of Washington Bothell is launching a Data Science minor that gives students background in data analysis and visualization as well as exposure to algorithms and lower-level programming tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis minor can benefit students with any major,\u201d said Dr. Johnny Lin, associate teaching professor in the School of STEM<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s extremely versatile and can provide skills you can use in a range of fields including the arts, nursing, engineering, science, business and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extending the possibilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What makes data science different than data analysis is its close connection to programming. By using machine learning algorithms at a lower level, it is able to work with vast volumes of data and find unseen patterns, derive meaningful innovation and aid in business decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cData science extends the boundaries of what is possible,\u201d Lin said. \u201cBefore its invention, scientists were bound by the constraints of current software that limited the amount of data that could be processed as well as how that data could be modeled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, data scientists have the tools to create their own software programs and tailor them exactly as they wish \u2014 making nearly any analysis possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholars in the humanities, for example, have used data science to gain analytical leverage on long-standing questions including what factors determine quality of life, what constitutes a well-functioning society and democracy, and why some societies are tortured by violence and conflict. \u201cData scientists are trained to work with extremely large volumes of data,\u201d Lin said, \u201cbut also to spot trends and predict future behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApplying that to the social sciences can lead to fascinating results. It belongs in the humanities as much as it belongs in science and engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programming health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Data science has made great strides in health care, too, as was evidenced by the 足彩app哪个是正规的 pandemic. Data science demonstrated global patterns in the spread of infection, helping to predict the next region the virus could spread and how government policies could be designed to best combat the disease. Data scientists were able to then monitor the spread of the virus and coordinate with authorities to send resources to the areas most impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But whether in a pandemic or not, data scientists in the health care industry can employ their analytical skills to save lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using predictive analyses \u2014 a type of analytics that uses past and current data to project future patterns \u2014 professionals are able to make predictions about the onset of certain diseases, ensuring proper care is provided in an appropriate amount time. 足彩app哪个是正规的se models can also be used to help manage chronic diseases, predict future patient crises and deliver faster hospital data documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 School of Nursing & Health Studies has long recognized the importance of intersection between technology and health care,\u201d Lin said. \u201cA minor in Data Science gives Nursing & Health Studies students additional skills to analyze and understand health care data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business and beyond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 field of business has benefited greatly from data science, as well, Lin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c足彩app哪个是正规的re are so many fields that really have nothing to do with traditional sciences or programming per se but can use the programming tools in data science to answer data-dependent questions about operations. This is especially true with large retail businesses that have all this customer information from point of sale to online purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cData science has the potential to help businesses better serve customers,\u201d Lin said. \u201cby analyzing purchase patterns, developing strategies that increase sales, confirming timely delivery and managing stock inventory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it\u2019s not just retail businesses that benefit, he noted. \u201cData science can add value to any business that can use their data well. From statistics and insights across workflows to hiring new employees and helping senior staff make better-informed decisions, data science is valuable to any company in any industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening up new opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 Data Science minor at UW Bothell launches in spring quarter 2023, and Lin encourages students from all majors to consider applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegardless of what it is you are wanting to do after college, there are ways in which you can utilize the skills that you learn in the\u00a0Data Science minor<\/a>\u00a0to benefit your career,\u201d Lin said. \u201cIt will only make you a more well-rounded candidate and enhance your understanding of your field.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
