"Data Analyst: prepares more advanced types of analyses." Sorry, but this is controversial. A data scientist can fully assume all the professional activities of a data analyst, but the data analyst will not assume those of the data scientist. Exactly what are the "more advanced situations"? Thanks.

Hey Gautham, A data scientist is certainly a role that requires much more technical skills - understanding A/B testing, ML algorithms, how to deal with imbalanced and missing data, etc. The two roles are different in their requirements. A data analyst role can be the perfect stepping stone if one wants to become a data scientist. Best, Ned

Hi Luiz, You're right.I believe what is intended here is that a data analyst does a bit more advanced types of analysis than a BI analyst would. Best, Ned

Hey Team DS365, quite a good intro course. But, just an observation that I had, having interacted and worked with some teams here in India, the Data Scientist is perceived to be a better role than the data analyst. Why so? I also notice that most of the data analysts "mostly" rely on data cleaning, filtering and a bit of BI, is that why that could be?
