   Data Cleaning in Data Science

   Data cleaning is essential for transforming real-world, messy datasets into reliable sources for analysis or machine learning. This involves removing duplicates, dealing with implausible values, addressing formatting issues, outliers, and missing values. Proper data cleaning ensures that conclusions drawn from the data can be generalized to a defined population. Best practices include defining your population boundaries, ensuring reproducibility, and keeping methods well-documented.
