Defining Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Data Science

Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Data Science — those are the three things that this podcast focuses its discussions on. This episode provides my definitions in descending order of their complexity in terms of the depth of required knowledge, competencies, and practical, demonstrable skills related to computer science and programming, mathematics and statistics, critical thinking and overall approach to solving problems with data.

My definitions also reflect a descending order of analytical advancement, because I see data science as advanced machine learning, and machine learning as advanced data analytics.
