Study Notes

### Data Life Cycle

CRISP-DM Methodology: A standardized cycle for data mining used by experts.
Business Understanding: Understanding project objectives and converting them into a data mining problem.
Data Understanding: Familiarizing with the data, identifying quality issues, and discovering initial insights.
Data Preparation: Transforming raw data into a dataset usable for modeling tools.
Modeling: Selecting, applying, and calibrating modeling techniques.
Evaluation: Thoroughly reviewing the model and its construction to ensure alignment with business objectives.
Deployment: Organizing and presenting knowledge gained from the model in a format useful to the customer.

Data Collection

A systematic process of gathering observations or measurements.
Allows for gaining first-hand knowledge and insights into problems.
Used in businesses and organizations to analyze outcomes, find solutions, and draw conclusions.
Can be qualitative or quantitative.

Why Collect Data?

Analyze problems and understand their outcomes and future trends.
Arrive at solutions and make assumptions about future results.
Reliable data from accurate sources makes calculations and analysis easier.

Data Collection Methods

Primary Data Collection: Original data directly from the source (e.g., surveys, experiments).
- Quantitative: Expresses data in numbers or figures.
- Qualitative: Analyzes quality or reasons behind phenomena.
Secondary Data Collection: Data collected by others and readily available (e.g., sensor data, magazines, documents).

Before Data Collection

Identify the aim of the problem.
Determine the type of data to collect.
Plan methods and procedures for collecting, storing, and processing data.

Define the Aim of the Problem

You need to understand exactly what you want to achieve.
