How do you access 200 Terabytes of data? NIH is collecting data of many genomes that are being stored as computer code. These are then stored for researchers to access for their purpose. Being NIH, these large data sets are available for free. But, how do you process this amount of data. About the only…

Perceptions or assessments of behavior can be difficult to quantify. When attempt is made to quantify specific actions that are perceptions then a scale is used to measure the behavior on a scale such as a Likert scale with values on a 1-5 scale.

Databases are used everywhere and are critical to most of the informatics work that is done. They are also very critical part of Big data analysis Since databases store critical data, they are handled very carefully. They are obviously backed up regularly but also get replicated and distributed. With large databases, there are many ways…

It is easy to see mathematics when you look at common things that we take for granted. For example the following pages were created from a website: http://ptaff.ca/soleil/?lang=en_CA. The raw data can also be got from the link below. Take a look at these graphs and think about what can you see. Steven Strogatz saw…
