Hey hustlers, I hope you're doing great.

Welcome Day 3 of the 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 challenge. 
Today is Sunday, which means resting the whole day, right??
✅ Yes 😎
❌ Nope 
 
Remember who we are. We are hustlers who don't give excuses, and our aim is much bigger. For that, we break all tasks into smaller tasks and try to achieve them all at once.

 
Don;t forget on these important part of this challenge
1. Taking enough amount sleep of 6–8 hours daily

2. Eating only healthy and home-made food and trying to avoid junk food as much as possible to eliminate sugary and packaged food

3. Daily 30 minutes of exercise. Here, you don't need to join any gym; you can do just walking and some yoga to make us stronger. 

4. Drinking 3–4 litres of water

5. At least 2 minutes of deep breathing will make us calm and focus on only positive things. This will eliminate all your anxiety and negativity.

6. Try to give a minimum 1 hour for learning new skills, which can be helpful for getting a better job or making money.

So today's task is to understand more advanced concepts in math and statistics. Here are more resources for your learning.

Hey hustlers, Very good morning, and I hope you're doing great.

Welcome Day 4 of the 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 challenge. 

Today we will learn the complete statistics and mathematics topic-wise list required for the data/business analyst role.

1️⃣ Descriptive Statistics:
- Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode)
- Measures of dispersion (variance, standard deviation)
- Percentiles and quartiles -Skewness and kurtosis
- Histograms and frequency distributions

2️⃣ Probability: -Basic concepts of probability (sample space, events, outcomes)
- Probability rules (addition, multiplication)
- Conditional probability
- Bayes' theorem -Probability distributions (binomial normal, Poisson)

3️⃣ Inferential Statistics
- Hypothesis testing (null and alterative hypotheses) Types of errors (Type I and Type I errors)
- Confidence intervals
- Sampling techniques (random sampling, stratified sampling)
- Central Limit Theorem
- t-tests (paired and unpaired)
- Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
- Chi-square tests

4️⃣ Regression Analysis
- Simple linear regression
- Multiple linear regression
- Assumptions of regression analysis
- Model evaluation (R-squared, adjusted R-squared, residual analysis)
- Interpreting regression coefficients
- Logistic regression (binary and multinomial)

5️⃣ Time Series Analysis:
- Time series components (trend, seasonality, cyclicality noise)
- Smoothing techniques (moving averages, exponential smoothing)
- ARIMA models (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average)
- Forecasting methods (exponential smoothing, ARIMA trend analysis)

6️⃣ Data Visualization:
- Charts and graphs (bar charts, line charts, scatter plots, histograms)
- Box plots
- Heatmaps
- Data dashboards
- Effective data visualization principles
- Using tools like Excel, Tableau, or Python libraries (Matplotlib, Seaborn)

7️⃣ Linear Algebra
- Matrix operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication)
- Systems of linear equations
- Determinants
- Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

8️⃣ Optimization
- Linear programming
- Integer programming
- Non-linear programming
- Constraint optimization

9️⃣ Discrete Mathematics
- Set theory
- Combinatorics (permutations, combinations)
- Probability and counting principles
- Graph theory (networks, paths, connectivity)

🔟 Data Manipulation and Analysis
- Data cleaning and preprocessing
- Exploratory data analysis (EDA)
- Data transformation (normalization, standardization)
- Database querying (SQL)
- Data wrangling using tools like Python (NumPy, Pandas)


You might feel why I'm keeping on telling you to focus on math and statistics fundamentals because in data analytics we have a focus on data, which requires more math to solve problems, and even today, while solving any problems, I've got to learn some new things from the basics that we might have learned during our school, college, or university days. So do focus on understanding these foundations thoroughly and try to make notes while learning using the old books that you're carrying with you.

Use these resources and once again go through these things to clear your concepts.
