Study Notes

Data Life Cycle

CRISP-DM Methodology stands for Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining
Business Understanding: Defines the project objectives and requirements from a business perspective, converting them into a data mining problem definition.
Data Understanding: Involves initial data collection, getting familiar with the data, identifying quality issues, and discovering initial insights.
Data Preparation: Constructs the final dataset (data fed into modeling tools) from the initial raw data, involving tasks like selection, transformation, cleaning, and preparation.
Modeling: Selects and applies various modeling techniques, calibrating parameters to optimal values.
Evaluation: Thoroughly evaluates the model and reviews the construction steps to ensure it meets business objectives.
Deployment: Creates the model, organizing and presenting knowledge gained in a useful way for the customer.

Data Collection

Data Collection is a systematic process of gathering observations or measurements.
Data Collection Methods are used in businesses and sales organizations to analyze problems, draw conclusions, and make decisions.
Data Collection can be qualitative or quantitative.
Qualitative Data Collection Methods analyze the quality or reasons behind something, without mathematical calculations.
Quantitative Data Collection Methods express data in figures or numbers, using both traditional and online methods.

Primary Data Collection

Primary data is original data collected directly from the source.
Examples include surveys, opinion polls, experiments, and observations.
Quantitative Data Collection Methods involve numerical data and include methods like:
- Surveys: collecting data through questionnaires.
- Experiments: measuring the effects of variables.
- Observations: systematically recording behaviors or phenomena.
Qualitative Data Collection Methods involve non-numerical data and include methods like:
- Interviews: gathering in-depth information from individuals.
- Focus Groups: facilitating discussions with a small group of people.
- Ethnographic Studies: observing and interacting with people in their natural settings.

Secondary Data Collection

Secondary data is already collected by someone else and has been statistically analyzed.
This type of data is readily available and doesn't require special collection methods.
Examples include data from sensors, magazines, and documents.

What Before Data Collection?

Define the aim of the problem: Clearly identify the goals and objectives of the data collection.
Determine the type of data: Decide what kind of information is needed to address the problem (qualitative, quantitative, or both).
Establish methods and procedures: Plan how the data will be collected, stored, and processed.

Step 1: Define the Aim of the Problem

Identify exactly what you want to achieve with the data collection.
