EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSTS FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is exploratory data analysis?
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an open-ended approach to data analysis that involves applying statistical and graphical techniques to discover insights and trends. The primary goal of EDA is to use visual methods to discover what data can tell us beyond formal models or hypotheses.
Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in exploratory data analysis professionals:
- Exploratory data analysis
- Data science, analytics, and visualization
- Data analytics tools (e.g., R, NumPy, Spark)
Why hire exploratory data analysts?
The trick to finding top exploratory data analysts is to identify your needs. Is your goal to generate scatter plots of raw data sets to visually identify possible trends for further analysis? Or did you have something more specific in mind, such as performing a univariate visualization on a raw data set to summarize statistical characteristics of a single variable? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.
How much does it cost to hire an exploratory data analyst?
Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.
- An experienced exploratory data analyst may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
- A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their exploratory data analysis services more competitively.
Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
