Q:
What is data cleaning? How can we do that?
Answer
Data cleaning is also known as data scrubbing. Data cleaning is a process which ensures the set of data is correct and accurate. Data accuracy and consistency, data integration is checked during data cleaning. Data cleaning can be applied for a set of records or multiple sets of data which need to be merged.
Data cleaning is performed by reading all records in a set and verifying their accuracy. Typos and spelling errors are rectified. Mislabeled data if available is labeled and filed. Incomplete or missing entries are completed. Unrecoverable records are purged, for not to take space and inefficient operations.
