Supervised and Unsupervised Learning are two primary types of machine learning, differing mainly in hThe primary goal of a data science project is to extract actionable insights from data to support better decision-making, predictions, or automation—ultimately solving a specific business or real-world problem.

Data cleaning is crucial before performing any data analysis because messy, inaccurate, or inconsistent data will lead to misleading insights, poor predictions, and bad decisions—no matter how advanced your analysis or machine learning model is.

Why it matters:

1. Removes Errors & Inconsistencies

   • Fixes typos, incorrect entries, and formatting mismatches so the analysis reflects reality.

2. Handles Missing Data

   • Ensures gaps are filled appropriately (or handled) so models don’t produce biased or incomplete results.

3. Ensures Accuracy & Reliability

   • Clean data increases trust in findings—stakeholders are more likely to act on accurate, consistent insights.

4. Improves Model Performance

   • Machine learning algorithms perform better with clean, consistent input, reducing noise and irrelevant variation.

5. Saves Time Later

   • Catching problems early prevents wasted effort on rework, debugging, or explaining flawed outcomes.

6. Enables Comparability

   • Standardized formats (dates, currencies, units) make data easier to merge and compare across sources.

Example:
Imagine predicting sales from e-commerce data:

• If “India” is sometimes entered as “IND,” “IN,” or “Bharat,” your analysis might treat them as separate countries—giving incorrect regional sales figures.

• Cleaning ensures these values are consistent before you start.
