    Study Notes

    Data Analytics Fundamentals

    • Data analytics aims to gather information and use it to help people make decisions.
    • Data analytics includes various types, with descriptive analytics being a common form.
    • Descriptive analytics focuses on providing information about what happened.
    • It summarizes large datasets to identify issues, areas for improvement, and metrics not meeting expectations.
    • Key performance indicators (KPIs) are important metrics used in descriptive analysis.
    • Data analytics is used in e-commerce, social media, security, logistics, and factory operations, among other areas.

    Data Analytics Types

    • Four main types of data analytics (listed in order of complexity):
      • Descriptive: provides information about what happened
      • Diagnostic: identifies the causes of events
      • Predictive: forecasts future trends
      • Prescriptive: suggests actions to take to achieve desired outcomes.

    Correlation

    • Correlation measures the strength and direction of the relationship between quantitative variables.
    • Pearson's correlation measures linear relationships.
    • A value of +1 indicates a strong positive relationship, -1 indicates a strong negative relationship, and 0 indicates no linear relationship.
    • Correlation analysis helps understand relationships between variables, but does not prove causation.

    Regression

    • Linear regression establishes a relationship between variables by fitting a straight line to the data points on a scatterplot.
    • Variables can be used to predict values of the other variable.
    • Linear regression helps assess the strength and direction of the relationship by finding the best-fit line.
    • Regression's result changes if independent and dependent variable are interchanged.
    • The slope of the line in linear regression indicates how much the dependent variable changes for every unit change in the independent variable.
    • The y-intercept shows the estimated value of the dependent variable when the independent variable equals zero.
