La ciencia de datos y el análisis de datos son disciplinas fundamentales dentro del ecosistema de la transformación digital y la toma de decisiones basada en información. Aunque a menudo se utilizan como sinónimos, en realidad representan niveles distintos de complejidad, profundidad técnica y alcance estratégico. Comprender sus diferencias permite identificar mejor sus aplicaciones, perfiles profesionales y aportes dentro de una organización.
R es un entorno y lenguaje de programación con un enfoque al análisis estadístico.
R nació como una reimplementación de software libre del lenguaje S, adicionado con soporte para ámbito estático. Se trata de uno de los lenguajes de programación más utilizados en investigación científica, siendo además muy popular en los campos de aprendizaje automático (machine learning), minería de datos, investigación biomédica, bioinformática y matemáticas financieras. A esto contribuye la posibilidad de cargar diferentes bibliotecas o paquetes con funcionalidades de cálculo y graficación.
R es parte del sistema GNU y se distribuye bajo la licencia GNU GPL. Está disponible para los sistemas operativos Windows, Macintosh, Unix y GNU/Linux.
Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains.
Data mining is a particular data analysis technique that focuses on modeling and knowledge discovery for predictive rather than purely descriptive purposes. Business intelligence covers data analysis that relies heavily on aggregation, focusing on business information. In statistical applications, some people divide data analysis into descriptive statistics, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and confirmatory data analysis (CDA). EDA focuses on discovering new features in the data and CDA on confirming or falsifying existing hypotheses. Predictive analytics focuses on application of statistical or structural models for predictive forecasting or classification, while text analytics applies statistical, linguistic, and structural techniques to extract and classify information from textual sources, a species of unstructured data. All are varieties of data analysis.
Data integration is a precursor to data analysis, and data analysis is closely linked to data visualization and data dissemination. The term data analysis is sometimes used as a synonym for data modeling.
