Study Notes
Data Dissimilarity and Normalization
- Numeric data dissimilarity requires normalization to equalize attribute weights.
- Example: Height (meters) and weight (grams) attributes. One will likely dominate due to different scales.
Measuring Data Similarity/Dissimilarity
- Attributes can be nominal, binary, ordinal, or numeric.
- Use mean, SD, median, and mode to measure numeric attribute central tendency.
- Use median and mode for other attributes.
- Use:
- Matching percent for nominal attributes.
- Symmetric/asymmetric binary dissimilarity or Jaccard coefficient for binary attributes.
- Minkowski distance for numeric attributes.
Entity Identification Problem
- Schema integration and object matching.
- Metadata (name, meaning, data type, permissible range, and null rules) helps avoid integration and data transformation errors.
Data Reduction Strategies
- Dimensionality Reduction: Reduce the number of attributes; methods include wavelet transforms and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Also attribute subset selection.
-
Numerosity Reduction: Replace original data with smaller data representation.
- Parametric: Estimate data using only parameters.
- Nonparametric: Store reduced representations of the data.
- Compression: Transformations for "compressed" representation.
- Attribute SubsetSelection: Determine a minimal set of attributes to maintain the original data distribution.
- Attribute Construction: Create new attributes, e.g., area from height and width.
Regression
- Modeling data for fitting a straight line.
- Regression line equation: y = wx + b (w and b are regression coefficients).
- Calculated using least squares method (minimizing error between actual and estimated lines)
Sampling
- Represent a large dataset using a smaller, random sample.
-
Simple Random Sample (SRS):
- Without replacement (SRSWOR): Draw 's' of 'N' tuples ('s' < 'N').
- With replacement (SRSWR): Similar to SRSWOR but each drawn tuple is recorded, then replaced for possible reuse.
- Cluster Sampling: Tuples are grouped into clusters, and an SRS of clusters is obtained.
- Stratified Sampling: Tuples are divided into strata and SRS is generated within each stratum.
