How to do Data Science featuring Dr. Donald Brown

The new era of data science has provided the means to collect, process and analyze large and small sets of data from diverse sources to produce solutions to complex problems in a variety of applications. The data range from large document collections, to streaming sensor data, to images and videos. This presentation describes the field of data science and gives an overview to how to conduct data science to support of organizational objectives. We then provide examples of using data science to obtain significant results in translational health research.
