Our guest this week is Tim Miller, from Teradata’s Technology & Innovation Office. He was a principal in the development of the first commercial in-database data mining system, which makes him a perfect choice to provide an overview of the data science process.

New to data science? There may be occasional bouts of jargon you don’t understand. If so, don’t worry! Tim (naturally) uses terminology from the data science domain, but we always bring it back to plain-English explanations.

• What is data science?
• CRISP-DM: Cross-industry standard process for data mining [Wikipedia]

• Data science is a team sport
