What is the role of mathematics in Data Science?

Question

Can anyone tell me what is the role of mathematics in Data Science?

Answer 1

In Data Science, mathematics plays an important role and some of them are below:

• In selecting the suitable algorithm considering accuracy, training time, model complexity, number of parameters, and number of features.
• In selecting parameter values and validation strategies.
• To identify underfitting and overfitting to maintain the Bias-Variance tradeoff.
• To estimate the right confidence interval.
