Abstract: Advances in technology have led to the development of innovative methods for generating, collecting and storing data across various industries, including health care, media, retail and sciences. Businesses increasingly rely on data from product searches, purchasing behaviours and other preferences to make product and marketing decisions (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018). Raw data alone have minimal value; transforming them into usable and interpretable information requires workers with certain skills (Pereira et al., 2020). These tasks are often carried out by professionals known as data scientists.
