Abstract
The data part of your data science project involves reducing all of the relevant information you can find into one or more data matrices, ideally as large as possible. The rows of each matrix represent items or examples, while the columns represent distinct features or attributes.
We often hear that mathematics consists mainly of “proving theorems.” Is a writer's job mainly that of “writing sentences?”
– Gian-Carlo Rota
