Data Crawling and Acquisition

How do you collect your data from the big databases? Manual data collection is boring and prone to introduce unintended human errors during data acquisition and pre-processing steps.

Many public and commercial databases provide API (Application Programming Interface) to make this step easier, but sometimes using API is quite tricky. We can assist you to make these steps easier and flawlessly.

Data Cleaning

In general, data sets in the business field are not well formatted. You almost always need to clean up "dirty" raw data you acquire and make a correctly-formatted and clean "analysis-ready" before actual data analysis using data mining and/or statistical software programs. This is a critical limiting factor that slow down your data analysis process.

We clean up your your data, detect anomalies and structural problems in your data.

Remember: "Garbage IN, Garbage OUT !!"

Data Matching

How do you analyze your data? In these days, many people use spreadsheet software programs, such as MS Excel. These software are great for general purpose, but not ideal for the complex data analysis using a big-scale data.

The best way we recommend is using intuitive scripts/programs written in Perl, Python, and/or R programming languages. We assist our clients by writing customized script programs on your request. These scripts/programs are re-usable and can automatically handle all your tedious jobs (and very fast). This will enormously increase the speed of your research.

Do not waste your valuable time in struggling with tedious manual works. (Also see the "Customized Software" tab.)
