week 4 discussion

Welcome to your forth week discussion.

As you all read, according to Kirk (2016), most of your time will be spent working with your data.  The four following group actions were mentioned by Kirk (2016):

• Data acquisition: Gathering the raw material
• Data examination: Identifying physical properties and meaning
• Data transformation: Enhancing your data through modification and consolidation
• Data exploration: Using exploratory analysis and research techniques to learn

Select 1 data action and elaborate on the actions preformed in that action group.

Please make sure you have an initial post (about 200 words) and a comment/post to one of your friends’ posts. Each discussion assignment is 50 points.

Let me know if you have questions
