    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.
