Data Analysis Setup: Tools, Installation, and Best Practices

In previous centuries, we used to decide as we always used to: based on a gut feeling, a coin toss or a prayer. However, we can not afford to guess in a world that is changing this rapidly. However, it is feared that the analysis of data removes humanity in the decision-making process- that it reduces individuals to statistics. I want to argue the opposite. Proper data analysis is the most understanding thing that you can do. It prevents the projection of personal prejudices on the world and makes one see people as they are, not as you think they are. It is not a de-humanizing of the process, it is simply a human element that has gotten right at last.

Below are various tools that will help you kickstart your journey of Data Analysis:
