Week 4 Discussion - Data acquisition: Gathering the raw material

Week 4 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
