Study Notes
Business Analytics Framework
- Focuses on a cross-industry standard process for data mining
- Aims to improve reliability and repeatability in data mining projects
- A framework for recording experience is available
- Aids in project planning and management
- Provides a "comfort factor" for new data mining adopters
The Hard Reality of Data
- Databases contain enormous amounts of data
- Businesses are often data-rich but knowledge-poor
- Data is a liability unless used to improve business practices
- Standard data analysis techniques are helpful, but insufficient and may miss valuable insights
- Popular quote by John Naisbett: "We are drowning in information, but starving for knowledge"
Examples of Data
- Transactional data from credit card companies
- Data from search engines like Google
- Social media data
What is Data Mining?
- Deployment of business processes using analytical techniques
- Aims to take further advantage of data
- Objectives include discovering relevant knowledge and acting on mining results
Data Mining Tasks
- Summarization
- Classification/Prediction (includes Classification, Concept Learning, and Regression)
- Clustering
- Dependency modeling
- Anomaly detection
Summarization
- Creates a compact description of a data subset
- Example: finding average downtime of plant equipment, total income of a sales representative
- Techniques: Statistics and Information Theory
Prediction
- Learns a function to associate data with a response variable.
- Classification learning deals with discrete variables
- Regression learning deals with continuous variables
- Example tasks: Assessing credit worthiness in loans, or predicting response to marketing campaigns
- Technique examples: Decision trees, Neural Networks, Naive Bayes
Clustering
- Identifies meaningful categories or clusters within data
- Maximizes intra-cluster similarity and minimizes inter-cluster similarity
- Example uses: Segmenting a business' customer base or creating a taxonomy of animals in a zoological application
- Example techniques: K-Means, Hierarchical clustering, Kohonen SOM
Dependency Modeling
- Discovers significant dependencies, associations, or affinities among variables
- Example uses: Analyzing market baskets in retail, or uncovering cause-effect relationships (medical treatments)
- Example techniques: Association rules, Graphical modeling
Anomaly Detection
- Discovers significant changes or anomalies in data from previous measurements or norms
- Example uses: Detecting fraudulent credit card usage or identifying anomalous turbine behavior
- Example techniques: Novelty detectors, Probability density models
Why a Standard Process?
- Provides reliability and repeatability, even for those with little data mining experience
- Facilitates project replication
- Supports project planning and management
- Simplifies the process for new adopters
CRISP-DM Framework
- Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining
- An invaluable tool for planning, executing, and evaluating data mining projects
- Provides a clear roadmap for success
- Ensures well-defined, well-executed, and well-documented projects
CRISP-DM Phases
- Business Understanding
- Data Understanding
- Data Preparation
- Modeling
- Evaluation
- Deployment
Phase I: Business Understanding
- Understand project objectives and requirements
- Convert knowledge into a data mining problem definition
- Develop preliminary plans to achieve objectives
- Examples: Increase catalog sales or predict widget purchases based on customer data
Phase II: Data Understanding
- Initial data collection and familiarization
- Identify critical data quality issues
- Discover initial insights into the data
- Formulate hypotheses for hidden information
Phase III: Data Preparation
- Construct the final dataset from raw data
- Includes activities: Collection, Assessment, Consolidation, Cleaning, Data selection, and Transformations
- Includes techniques: Selecting data, cleaning data, constructive data
- May require extensive time (over 90% of the project time)
Phase IV: Modeling
- Select and apply various modelling techniques
- Generate test design
- Build the model and define parameter settings
- Assess the model and rank models based on quality and validity
Phase V: Evaluation
- Thoroughly evaluate the model and the execution steps
- Determine if business objectives are met.
- Review data mining processes, identifying and addressing any critical business issues encountered in previous phases
- Determine the next steps (project completion, new iterations, or more data acquisition)
Phase VI: Deployment
- Organize and present knowledge gained from the project
- Plan the deployment of data mining results into business processes
- Implement a detailed monitoring process to track and maintain the data mining system
- Produce final project reports; summarizing the experience, findings, and any pertinent details
Seattle Airbnb Data Analysis:
- Business Understanding - Questions related to listing prices, neighborhood distribution, and new listing price prediction based on attributes.
-
Data Understanding- Descriptive statistics obtained from files such as
calendar.csv,listings.csv, andreviews.csv. - Data Preparation - techniques used to handle missing values, currency, and categorical features.
- Data Analysis - Exploration of price distribution and neighborhood listing frequency
- Data Modeling - Numerical columns related to price are analyzed using linear regression models.
- Evaluation - Evaluating model performance using metrics like R² score.
- Deployment - Implement and monitor the findings
