Contemporary Applications of Big Data in Science

 Healthcare - Data science used the data to identify and predict disease to personalise any healthcare recommendations. In 2008 Google created ‘Google Flu Trends’ which helped to map flu outbreaks by tracking location data on confirmed cases of the flu. But unfortunately it wasn’t successful. But it still showed the importance of data science in healthcare. Other examples are that Google developed a tool called LYNA that was used to identify breast cancer tumours because they can be difficult for people to see with just their eyes, this successfully identified nodes 99% of the time however it needs further testing before being able to be used by doctors in hospitals. Tracking periods by using apps such as ‘Clue’ to predict users menstrual cycles and also reproductive health by using things such as last start date, moods, stool type, hair condition and other different metrics. 

Sports - ‘Strong Analytics’ uses pre recorded footage to create detailed plan to help coaches to improve athlete performance. ‘WHOOP’ makes devices that athletes can wear to track their resting heart beat, sleep cycle, respiratory rate etc. because if this athletes can see when they should be pushing themselves at training and when they should be resting because of this they can make the most efficient steps to get the most out of their body and their fitness.

Definition of big data

Big data is large and varied collections of data. That cannot be managed by traditional systems. It’s studied to reveal patterns, trends and associations. It was created by Roger Douglas in 2005. The data is so large and complex in its volume, velocity and variety that normal data management/storage systems can’t store, process or analyse due to the mass size of the dataset.

Traditional Statistics

 The traditional statistics of big data mainly revolves around structured data. It involves around statistical techniques which is things such as surveys, interviews, experiment data etc and visualisation's. But it also may include machine learning, data storage and additional techniques. Using a range of data sources such as social media, lot devices or sensors which is used for big data analytics.  https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-traditional-data-and-big-data/#:~:text=Traditional%20data%20analysis%20methods%20typically,be%20stored%20and%20managed%20effectively. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/whats-difference-between-big-data-analytics-traditional-statistical-ojodc#:~:text=Traditional%20statistical%20analysis%20primarily%20deals,surveys%2C%20experimental%20data%2C%20etc.

Characteristics of Big Data Analysis ps

 It’s often described using five main characteristics these being: Volume, value, variety, velocity and lastly veracity.  Volume being the size of the data that is needed to be analysed, value is from the eye of the business which leads to better operations, decisions, customer satisfaction and also being able to see what the business needs to make it succeed, variety which is the range of the data types, velocity is the rate at which companies get, store and manage their data such as on social media if someone asks a question how long it takes for the company to reply to this, and finally veracity which shows the actual accuracy behind the data and the information.   https://www.teradata.com/glossary/what-are-the-5-v-s-of-big-data#:~:text=Big%20data%20is%20a%20collection,variety%2C%20velocity%2C%20and%20veracity.
