    Study Notes

    Data Sets

    • Different forms of datasets
    • Data within Data Science

    Data Categorization

    • NOIR Topology: Categorization of data based on properties. NOIR represents: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio
    • Nominal Scale: Categories without any sort of order or rank. Examples:
      • Gender: (M, F)
      • Blood Groups: (A, B, AB, O)
      • Country Code: (048, 040)
    • Binary Scale: A type of Nominal scale with exactly two mutually exclusive categories.
      • Examples:
        • Switch: (On, Off)
        • Gender: (Male, Female)

    ### Ordinal Scale

    • Categories with a natural order or rank. Examples:
      • Education Level: (High School, Bachelor’s, Master's, PhD)
      • Satisfaction Rating: (Very Dissatisfied, Dissatisfied, Neutral, Satisfied, Very Satisfied)
      • Movie Ratings: (1 Star, 2 Stars, 3 Stars, etc.)

    Interval and Ratio Scales

    • Interval Scale: Data with consistent intervals between values. Examples:
      • Temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit):
        • 10 degrees Celsius - 0 degrees Celsius = 10 degrees Celsius - 20 degrees Celsius (same interval)
      • Time (measured in hours):
        • 10 am - 9 am = 11 am - 10 am (same interval)
    • Ratio Scale: Data with a true zero point. Examples:
      • Height: (0 cm to 200 cm)
      • Weight: (0 kg to 100 kg)
      • Age: (0 years to 100 years)

    Types of Datasets

    • Record Data:
      • Relational Records: Databases with highly structured data stored in relational tables
      • Data Matrix: Numerical or categorical data displayed in rows and columns (e.g., Spreadsheets)
      • Transaction Data: Transactions from a point of sale system, including timestamps and items
      • Document Data: Text documents represented as Term-Frequency Vectors (a matrix showing word frequency in a document)
    • Graphs and Networks: Data represented as nodes (points) and edges (connections) used in network analysis.

    Data in Data Science

    • Entities: Objects or things.
    • Attributes: Measurable properties of an entity.
    • Data: Measurement of an attribute. Computers can work with different types of data, such as audio, video, text, etc.

    CRISP-DM Methodology

    • Stands for Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining
    • A cycle that describes commonly used approaches for data mining experts

    Business Understanding

    • Understanding the project objectives and requirements from a business perspective
    • Converting this knowledge into a data mining problem definition

    Data Understanding

    • Initial data collection
    • Activities to get familiar with the data
    • Identifying data quality problems
    • Discovering insights into the data

    Data Preparation

    • Constructing the final dataset
    • Transforming and cleaning data for modeling tools
    • Tasks include table, record, and attribute selection

    Modeling

    • Selecting and applying various modeling techniques
    • Calibrating model parameters to optimal values
    • Often requires returning to the data preparation phase

    Evaluation

    • Thoroughly evaluating models before deployment
    • Reviewing the steps executed to construct the model
    • Ensuring it achieves the business objectives

    Deployment

    • Creating the model is generally not the end
    • Organizing and presenting knowledge in a way that is useful to the customer

    Data Collection

    • Systematic process of gathering observations or measurements
    • Gaining first-hand knowledge and insights

    Why Data Collection?

    • Analyzing a problem and learning about its outcome and future trends
    • Arriving at a solution for a question about the future

    Data Collection Methods

    • Primary: Original data collected directly from the source
    • Secondary: Data collected by another person that is readily available

    Primary Data Collection Methods

    • Qualitative: Analyzing the quality and understanding reasons behind something
    • Quantitative: Expressing data in figures or numbers using traditional or online methods

    Secondary Data Collection Methods

    • Data from sensors, magazines, and documents

    What Before Data Collection?

    • Aim of the problem
    • Type of data to be collected
    • Methods and procedures to collect, store, and process data

    Step 1: Define the Aim of the Problem

    • Identifying the exact problem you want to solve
    • Clearly defining the objectives for data collection
