So I started my bit of work & research in information science, data and business analytics space two years back. I joined various MOOC and certification programs from Coursera, Data Camp, Khan Academy and Udemy. Through these programs, I learnt some exciting techniques like Decision tree, Regression analysis, Linear regression, Time Series, Neural Networks and technologies like Hadoop, Big-Data etc. I took a special interest in learning R as it is widely used in
