Building Analytics Systems is a course for professionals interested in Data Analytics with Teradata. Data Analysts taking on the Teradata tool, new students of Data Analytics, and business professionals pivoting to this field will all benefit.
If you've taken "Getting Started with Teradata" and "Improving Analysis and Storage," you're ready to run with this third course in my Teradata Specialization. This course uses animated lectures, scenarios, instructor demonstrations and software simulations to strengthen your skills with Teradata as well as your understanding of how to integrate and use the growing variety of data sources. In this course, you will recognize how to connect to additional data sources; define how APIs and JSON are the pillars of enterprise data warehousing; identify how Teradata handles the common challenges of connecting with data sources; identify which columns are eligible for categorical summaries and how to interpret the output; define the importance of summary statistics for your data tables; recognize techniques on how to clean up missing, null, or incomplete data; identify how the in-database analytics provided by Teradata create data visualizations; define the process of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) in exploring data and testing hypotheses; Define event attribution and how it can be applied to business processes; recognize how to search for patterns within data using the nPath function; identify the process to match a session window time frame to an analysis goal; recognize how to apply aggregate functions to a sessionized dataset for advanced analytics; identify strategies to manipulate text data for analysis; practice creating grams, bigrams, and trigrams using the nGrams function; recognize the use of sentiment analysis to better understand customer needs, and define the use of the Sentiment Extractor function to analyze meaning from text data.
In this module, you will learn how to connect to additional data sources and understand the importance of integrating diverse datasets for comprehensive analysis. The module will explain how APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) serve as essential components in enterprise data warehousing, enabling seamless data exchange and integration. Analysts will explore how APIs act as conduits between Teradata and data vendors' servers, facilitating real-time data retrieval. The module will also cover JSON's role in structuring and transmitting data efficiently across different platforms. Practical examples will illustrate how Teradata manages common challenges in connecting with various data sources, ensuring data quality, accuracy, and consistency. By the end of the module, analysts will recognize the processes and tools that enable robust data integration and support informed business decisions.
