How to handle Big Data

Context:

There are infinite ways to analyse data but great caution must be exercised while handling large and complex data sets

What is Big Data?

Big data is a term used to denote data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing application software is inadequate to deal with them.

Causes of Data Blunders:

  • Bias,
  • low-quality data,
  • unreliable sources,
  • technical glitches,
  •  an improper understanding of the larger picture,
  • lack of proper statistical tools and resources to analyse large volumes of data
  • Relying too heavily on a particular model

Way Out:

  • Big Data is very complex and involves additional challenge.
  • They might involve the use of some skills involving analytics, decision-making skills, logical thinking skills, problem-solving, advanced computational expertise and also statistical expertise.
  • Therefore, the use of some routine algorithm is not enough.
  • Too much reliance on available software is serious mistake while handling Big Data
