Study Notes
Big Data
- Data is crucial for decision-making in all aspects of business
- In 2025, the world will generate 175 zettabytes (ZB) of data. In 2010, it was just 2 ZB
- Every day, internet users generate around 2,500,000 gigabytes of data.
- 90% of data was created in the last two years
The 5 Vs of Big Data
- Velocity: batch, near time, real-time, streams
- Variety: structured, unstructured, semi-structured data.
- Volume: terabytes, records, transactions, tables, files.
- Veracity: trustworthiness, authenticity, origin, reputation, accountability, and value.
- Value: statistical, events, correlations, hypothetical
Sources of Data
- Twitter (500,000 tweets/minute)
- Instagram (347,222 posts/minute)
- Internet of Things (IoT): 75 million connected devices generating data, sensors
Storage of Generated Data
- Less than 20% of global data is stored in relational databases.
- 80% of global data is unstructured (text, images, video).
- Stored in Big Data Architectures, in the cloud, and in NoSQL databases
Big Data Storage
- Requires different technologies to process and analyze volumes of data that traditional databases can't handle.
Economic and Financial Data Sources
- Data sources covering economic and financial aspects of a country.
- Allow various data analysis types
- Describing a dataset(Unemployment for a given month)
- Analysis of trends over time(How Unemployment changed in Spain during the last month)
- Comparison analysis of regions, groups or variables(How Unemployment changed across different communities in Spain during the last year).
- INE (National Statistical Institute): provides stats on economic, demographic, and social aspects of the country; regularly updates data and provides access through its website.
- Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Enterprise: provides financial data and stats
- Macroeconomic statistics
- Public finances (budget execution, deficit, and debt)
- Labor market statistics (employment, unemployment, job openings)
- Financial system info
- Foreign trade (exports, imports, trade balance)
- Various government agencies(Spanish government, Madrid stock market, Spanish Bank, Eurostat, World Bank, International Monetary Fund)
Introduction to Databases
- Understanding Databases essential for managing data across industries.
- Databases facilitate e-commerce platforms, social media networks, banking, healthcare, education, logistics, and supply-chain management
- Includes Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Government Services
- Methods before Databases were paper, magnetic tapes, books, and electronic files
- Databases had limitations with searching, retrieving, integrity, and security
- Difficulty handling large data volumes
- Evolution from ER Model in 1970s, Relational Database Management Systems(RDBMS) in 1980s, to NoSQL in 1990s
Basic Concepts of Databases
- A database is organized data accessible for management and updating.
- Consists of tables(tables, rows and columns).
- Tables contain data like people, products, orders, etc. through relationships.
SQL and Its Importance
- Structured Query Language (SQL) used for managing relational databases.
- Essential for data analysis by extracting insights, handles large data volumes, easy to learn
- Used for business intelligence, finance, healthcare, and e-commerce
Types of Data Types
- Integer (whole numbers)
- Floating-point numbers (approximate decimals)
- Character data (fixed/variable length)
- Date and Time values
- Binary Large Objects (BLOB)
Database Design
- Defining structure, storage for data
- Defining Tables, fields, data types, and relationships
- Helps optimize redundancy and data integrity
