INTRODUCTION
What is Data Science?

Data Science is a blend of

various tools, algorithms,
and machine learning
principles with the goal to
discover hidden patterns
from the raw data.
What are
Environmental Data?
Environmental data is the one that
encapsulates various environmental
parameters.
 What is • is ultimately about merging language,
formal logic, and evidence to create a
better future for the earth.
Environmental • uses cutting-edge digital tools to help
solve the most pressing environmental

 The DPSIR (Drivers, Pressures, State, Impact
and Response) intervention model for
industries best represents environmental

of
Pressures: This particular category holds
Environmental attributes like pollution, population growth,
Data extraction of resources, land-use change, etc
States: These can be summed up as an active
situation of various natural resources.
Impact: the impact of human activity on the
environment.
MAJOR TYPES OF VARIABLES

INDEPENDENT DEPENDENT VARIABLES

VARIABLES
 1) Ratio Scale

SCALES OF OPERATION OF
2) Interval Scale
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
3) Ordinal Scale

4) Nominal Scale
 • No numerical difference between categories
• Nominal scales are mere codes assigned to
objects as labels, they are not measurement.
NOMINAL
SCALE
 • Classifies values into distinct categories in
which ranking is implied.
• Used to ascertain the consumer perceptions,
preference etc.

ORDINAL
SCALE
 • Indicates an actual amount (numerical).
The order and the difference between the
variables can be known. Its limitation is it
has no “true zero”
