Compare SAS, R and Python programming?

-

 



SAS: it is one of the most widely used analytics tools used by some of the biggest companies on earth. It has some of the best statistical functions, graphical user interface, but can come with a price tag and hence it cannot be readily adopted by smaller enterprises

 

R: The best part about R is that it is an Open Source tool and hence used generously by academia and the research community. It is a robust tool for statistical computation, graphical representation and reporting. Due to its open source nature it is always being updated with the latest features and then readily available to everybody.

 

Python: Python is a powerful open source programming language that is easy to learn, works well with most other tools and technologies. The best part about Python is that it has innumerable libraries and community created modules making it very robust. It has functions for statistical operation, model building and more.

  Before discussing the different statistical test, we need to get a clear understanding of what a null hypothesis is. A null hypothesis proposes that has no significant difference exists in the set of a given observation.   Null: Two samples mean are equal. Alternate: Two samples mean are not equal. For rejecting the null hypothesis, a test is calculated. Then the test statistic is compared with a critical value, and if found to be greater than the critical value, the hypothesis will be rejected.   Critical Value:- Critical values are the point beyond which we reject the null hypothesis. Critical value tells us, what is the probability of N number of samples, belonging to the same distribution. Higher, the critical value which means lower the probability of N number of samples belonging to the same distribution.   Critical values can be used to do hypothesis testing in the following way.   1. Calculate test statistic 2. Calculate critical values based on the

What is Time-Series forecasting? What is the difference between in Time series and regression?

        Time series forecasting is a technique for the prediction of events through a sequence of time. The technique is used across many fields of study, from the geology to behavior to economics. The techniques predict future events by analyzing the trends of the past, on the assumption that future trends will hold similar to historical trends.     Difference between in Time series and regression Time-series:  1. Whenever data is recorded at regular intervals of time.  2. Time-series forecast is Extrapolation . 3. Time-series refers to an ordered series of data.    Regression:    1. Whereas in regression, whether data is recorded at regular or irregular intervals of time, we can apply.  2. Regression is Interpolation.  3. Regression refer both ordered and unordered series of data

What is the difference between AI, Data Science, ML, and DL?

  Ans   :       Artificial Intelligence : AI is purely math and scientific exercise, but when it became computational, it started to solve human problems formalized into a subset of computer science. Artificial intelligence has changed the original computational statistics paradigm to the modern idea that machines could mimic actual human capabilities, such as decision making and perfo rming more “human” tasks. Modern AI into two categories     1. General AI - Planning, decision making, identifying objects, recognizing sounds, social & business transactions     2. Applied AI - driverless/ Autonomous car or machine smartly trade stocks Machine Learning : I nstead of engineers “teaching” or programming computers to have what they need to carry out tasks, that perhaps computers could teach themselves – learn something without being explicitly programmed to do so. ML is a form of AI where based on more data, and they can change actions and response,
