How Much Data Do You Really Need? | Sampling Techniques Explained | Data Science Tamil
Here's a problem every Data professional faces silently —
You get a massive dataset. Millions of rows.
You load it. Your system slows down. RAM spikes.
Your code takes forever — or straight up CRASHES.
I faced this exact situation in my industry job.
And the solution was not a better laptop or more RAM.
The solution was — Sampling. Done RIGHT.
But here comes the second big question nobody talks about:
"How much data should I actually sample?"
Too less — your analysis is wrong.
Too much — you're back to the performance problem.
In this video, I answer BOTH questions with real industry experience,
explained simply in Tamil — in just 8 minutes.

Why huge data causes performance issues & crashes
What is Sampling & why it is a must-know survival skill
Types of Sampling — Simple Random, Stratified & more

Key Insight from Industry
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most beginners think more data = better results.
But in reality, the RIGHT sample = better performance + correct results.
That mindset shift is what this video is all about.
