1. Data Wrangling

The act of manipulating or preparing data is known as data wrangling. It is a basic data
management strategy that entails appropriately processing, structuring, and making data
available for the most convenient consumption by future users. Data wrangling allows
analysts and end users to process business questions quickly and provide relevant
solutions. The wrangler expresses in a conversational tone and recommends scripts for
automatic translation. The user can observe how manual iterative processes can be
eliminated in this way. Decision assistance systems are the best examples. (Patil &
Basavaraj, 2018)

2. Data Cleaning

The act of discovering and removing problems from a data warehouse is known as data
cleaning. Ensure high data quality and consistency while gathering and merging data from
diverse sources into a data warehouse becomes a big, frequently expensive, and always
demanding undertaking. Data cleansing enhances the quality of data and boosts overall
productivity. When the data is cleaned, we get rid of any old or erroneous information,
leaving with only the best quality data. Data mining and data warehousing are less useful
if the data is not clean and correct. (Deshmukh & Wangikar, 2011)

3. Data integration

Data and model integration platforms have advanced scientific investigation and aided in
the resolution of urgent social and environmental issues. Organizations can use data
integration to mix data from many sources to offer users with a real-time perspective of
business performance. Integration is the initial stage in translating data into meaningful
and valuable information as a strategy. (Kawasaki, et al., 2018)

4. Data Reduction

When the available datasets are vast, the goal of data reduction is to boost the
effectiveness of machine learning rather than to lose extractable information. In many
data mining techniques, it is the most important component in obtaining information from
massive data. We must decrease our data in order to make things more controllable,
visible and reduce cost. ( Czarnowsk & Jędrzejowicz, 2018) (Mezmir, 2020)

5. Data Transformation

Data transformation is the process of extracting data from a source, converting it into a
usable format, and delivering it to a destination. Humans and computers may find it easier
to use transformed data. Null values, unexpected duplicates, wrong indexing, and
incompatible formats can all be avoided with properly structured and verified data, which
enhances data quality and protects programs from potential landmines. (Santana, et al.,
2018)
