Since, Data Science focuses on getting information from data, it becomes a subset of data analytics. A lot of the processes in Data Analytics/Analysis do not require extracting information like pre-processing.
However, these terms are rather open to interpretation. I am not sure, though.
Hi Balwinder!
Thanks for reaching out!
You are rather correct - many people attach different meanings to these terms. Nevertheless, we've done our best to provide the definitions that tend to be valid across multiple networks and that combined are supposed to provide a solid and complete general picture of the data science world's terms and buzzwords of today.
In light of that, your reasoning is spot on.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Martin
