  b. Ensure data quality working with the Data Quality Lead for the extracted data set to be scanned and profiled with Informatica Data Quality tool to benchmark the data quality and to decide whether the data requires to be synthetic or not.

• Data Cleaning: Ensure data is clean and standardized working with the Data Quality Lead to ensure that it's accurate and suitable for analysis. Data Analysts can assist in this process by identifying inconsistencies or errors in the data and helping to clean it. Exploratory Data Analysis: Data Scientists are responsible for analysing the data to identify patterns and trends. This includes using statistical methods and machine learning algorithms.
• Data Analysts can assist in this process by providing insights and feedback on the analysis and helping to interpret the results.
• Analysis to be in detailed related to Univariate, BiVariate analysis.
• Business Requirement Specification: Data Scientist and Data Analyst to document the BRS for the use case being implemented and obtain the sign off from the business
• Model Building: Data Scientists must build and train machine learning modelsto make predictions or classifications based on the data. This includes selecting the appropriate algorithms and tuning the model parameters. Data Analysts can assist in this process by helping to test and validate the models and providing feedback on their performance. Results to be showcased to business with various models with statistical evidence on pros and cons of the models with the expected accuracy.
• Deployment: Data Scientists are responsible for deploying the models into production and integrating them with other systems. Data Analysts can assist in this process by helping to monitor the performance of the models and providing insights on any issues or anomalies. All the deployments will follow DM Release policy.
• Retraining: Data Scientists on regular basis to retrain the model and make sure the accuracy is consistent across the models

Deliverables/Outcomes:

• A trained model based on the BRS.
• Support Business Intelligence team in integrating the model with the BI Data Product (Dashboards, Reports)
• Develop Model Deployment Pipelines
• Model Prototypes or Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs)
