The data science lifecycle is a structured process covering business understanding, data collection, data cleaning, exploratory analysis, feature engineering, predictive modeling, and data visualization to turn data into actionable insights. Supervised learning trains models using labeled data to make predictions or classifications. Unsupervised learning identifies patterns and structure in unlabeled data through techniques like clustering and dimensionality reduction. Regression predicts continuous numeric values, such as sales figures or temperatures. Classification assigns data to predefined categories, such as spam or not spam. K-means clustering is an unsupervised algorithm that groups data into k clusters by minimizing the distance between data points and their assigned cluster center. It is commonly used for customer segmentation and pattern discovery. Feature engineering transforms raw data into informative inputs that improve model performance. Well-engineered features help models detect meaningful patterns, reduce noise, and produce more accurate predictions.
