    This Data Science training in Rio De Janeiro features more than 15 real-life, industry-based projects highlighting different domains. These projects help you master concepts of Data Science and Big Data. Here are a few of the projects:

    Capstone Project:

    Description: You’ll go through dedicated mentor classes to generate a high-quality industry project where you solve a real-world problem by leveraging the skills and technologies that you learned throughout the program. The capstone project includes all the key points of data extraction, cleaning, and visualization, and how to build and tune models. You can also choose the domain/industry dataset you want to work on, based on whatever options are available.

    After you successfully submit your project, you will earn a capstone certificate, showcasing your expanded learning and skills to potential employers.

    Project 1: Products rating prediction for Amazon

    Domain: E-commerce

    Amazon, one of the leading US-based e-commerce companies, usually recommends products to customers that fall in a similar category that jibes with their activity and reviews. Amazon would like to boost this recommendation engine by increasing its capabilities, letting it predict ratings for non-rated products and adding them accordingly to the customer’s recommendations.

    Project 2: Improving customer experience for Comcast

    Domain: Telecom

    Description: Comcast, one of the top US-based global telecommunication companies, wants to improve their customer service experience by spotting problem areas that decrease customer satisfaction, and come up with a plan on how to address these issues. The company is also looking for key recommendations that they can put in place to provide the best customer experience.

    Project 3: Attrition Analysis for IBM

    Domain: Workforce Analytics

    Description: IBM, one of the oldest and most popular US-based IT companies, wants you to pinpoint the factors that affect employee attrition. Based on the parameters identified, the company also would like to build a logistics regression model that forecasts employee churn rate.

    Project 4: Predict accurate sales for 45 Walmart stores, taking the impact of promotional markdown events into consideration. Walmart is one of America’s leading retail stores. Determine if macroeconomic factors like the Consumer Price Index, unemployment rate, etc., impact their sales.

    Domain: Retail

    Description: Walmart holds several promotional markdown events throughout the year. These markdowns typically precede popular holidays and annual events like the Super Bowl, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and, naturally, Christmas. The weeks where these holidays occur have a weighing factor five times higher in valuation than regular weeks. The company, however, is facing a challenge due to unanticipated demand, a situation made worse by incorrect demand estimation. This results in occasional stock shortfalls. Macroeconomic factors such as CPI, Unemployment Index, etc. can potentially play an important role in predicting demand. However, the company hasn’t yet managed to leverage these factors. A portion of this project involves creating a model to call out the effects of these promotional markdowns on holiday weeks.

    Project 5: Learn how the top healthcare industry leaders make use of Data Science to improve their business.

    Domain: HealthCare

    Description: Predictive analytics is a useful tool in many different aspects of healthcare, like mediating hospital readmissions. But no matter what the industry, predictors are most valuable when they’re actionable. Or, put another way, historical and real-time data alone are useless unless the company makes a move. More importantly, in order to ascertain the value and effectiveness of forecasting a trend and ultimately changing the behavior, you must be able to incorporate both the predictor and the intervention back into the same workflow and system where the trend originally started.

    Project 6: Understand how Insurance leaders like AIG, AXA, Berkshire Hathaway, etc., use Data Science by working on an insurance-based real-life project in this data science course in Rio De Janeiro

    Domain: Insurance

    Description: According to information in the 2013 Insurance Predictive Modeling Survey, predictive analytics has risen sharply in the insurance industry, particularly in the biggest companies. For example, the survey shows a predictive modeling boost across the industry, but there are disparities. In fact, every insurance company that writes more than $1 billion in personal insurance uses predictive modeling, while companies who deal with less than that amount hover in the 69% utilization range.

    Project 7: See how large banks like Bank of America, Citigroup, ICICI, HDFC, etc. use Data Science to stay ahead of the competition.

    Domain: Banking

    Description: A Portuguese banking institution held a marketing campaign to give prospective customers a good reason to invest in a bank term deposit. The bank used phone calls to conduct their marketing campaigns. However, sometimes the same customer got repeated calls, resulting in duplication of effort. Your job is to analyze all the data gathered from this banking marketing campaign.

    Project 8: Learn how stock markets like NASDAQ, NSE, and BSE leverage Data Science and Analytics to derive consumable data from complex data sets in this data science training in Rio De Janeiro.

    Domain: Stock Market

    Description: You must import data from the following companies, using the Yahoo data reader: Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, x and Yahoo. You will, in this project do multiple analytics-driven functions including performing return analysis (daily), multiple plots on closing price, stock trade volumes and stock correlations.

    Project 9: Understand how Data Science is used in the field of engineering by engaging in this case study of MovieLens Dataset Analysis.

    Domain: Engineering

    Description: The GroupLens Research Project is a research group based at the University of Minnesota’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The researchers there are involved in several projects related to collaborative filtering, information filtering, and recommender systems.

    Project 10: See how top retail companies like Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. utilize Data Science to analyze and optimize their product placements and stock inventory.

    Domain: Retail

    Description: Companies use Analytics to optimize product shelf placement in their stores or the inventory in their warehouses. With this project, participants learn about the daily cycle of product optimization from the warehouse to the shelves. This gives the company insights into regular occurrences in the retail sector.

Excel's data manipulation capabilities, combined with an Excel course, equip Data Scientists with skills to handle missing values, remove duplicates, format data, and perform other data cleaning tasks. These skills are essential for ensuring data quality and preparing data for further analysis.

    3. Data Visualization: Visualizing data is a key aspect of data science, as it helps in communicating insights and findings. Excel offers a range of charting and graphing tools that Data Scientists can utilize to create meaningful visualizations. An Excel course teaches Data Scientists how to create visually appealing charts, customize visuals, and present data effectively.

    4. Quick Prototyping and Analysis: Excel's familiarity and ease of use make it a valuable tool for quick prototyping and analysis. Data Scientists can use Excel to perform exploratory data analysis, conduct preliminary modeling, and test hypotheses. An Excel course provides Data Scientists with efficient techniques, shortcuts, and best practices for faster analysis and prototyping.

    5. Collaboration and Communication: Excel is widely used in organizations, making it a common tool for collaboration and communication. Data Scientists can share Excel files, collaborate on data analysis tasks, and integrate Excel outputs into reports or presentations. An Excel course equips Data Scientists with skills for collaborating on workbooks, tracking changes, and effectively sharing insights with team members and stakeholders.

    While specialized tools and programming languages are commonly used in advanced data analysis and modeling, Excel skills are still valuable for various data manipulation, exploration, and visualization tasks.
