Study Notes
Data Analytics Lifecycle
- Discovery: The data science team learns about the business, assessing the resources available for the project.
- Data Preparation: The team prepares the data for analysis; this includes an Extraction, Transform, and Load (ETLT) process.
- Model Planning: The team determines the methods, techniques, and workflow for the model-building phase.
- Model Building: The team develops the analytical model, fits it on the training data, and evaluates its performance on test data.
Predictive Models
- Predictive models are used for predicting specific attributes of a given object.
- Predictive models can be used in tasks where the goal is to classify something (eg: will a patient survive a specific disease).
- Predictive models are different from unsupervised models which are limited to finding patterns within data.
Linear Regression Model
- Linear regression models predict a target value using a linear equation that represents the relationship between the target and input variables.
- It's important to prepare data before applying a linear regression model.
- Some strategies for data preparation include making data distributions Gaussian (normal), rescaling the input, and handling outliers.
Key Concepts for Linear Regression
- Standard Deviation: Measures how far the random numbers are spread out from their average.
- Pearson's Correlation Coefficient: Measures the strength of association between two variables.
- Collinearity: This occurs when two or more predictors are closely related, making it difficult to determine their individual influence on the output.
- Outliers: Data points that differ significantly from other data points; outliers may influence model results.
- Non-Linear Transformation: Non-linear transformations help to transform a non-linear problem into a linear one so it can be solved using linear regression.
