    Study Notes

    Data Mining Review

    • Data mining involves extracting knowledge from data.
    • Common tasks in data mining include estimation and prediction.
    • Prediction tasks include regression and classification.
    • Other tasks include association and clustering.
    • Data mining usage is increasing due to commercialization of products, technological advancements, and external pressure.

    CRISP-DM Lifecycle

    • CRISP-DM (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) is a scientific method for analytics.
    • The lifecycle includes business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, and deployment.
    • The method involves defining project requirements and objectives, translating them into data mining problem definitions, creating preliminary strategies, and meeting objectives.
    • Separates data needed from data available to understand necessary data preparation steps.
    • Includes training dataset, learning algorithms, test data, and accuracy metrics, to train and evaluate models.

    Data Preparation

    • Raw data is often unprocessed, incomplete, or noisy.
    • Data may contain obsolete, redundant fields, missing values, outliers, or be in an unsuitable form.
    • Data cleaning involves removing entries, columns, or clusters to improve data quality.
    • Data preprocessing includes removing entries, removing columns, and removing clusters.

    Arrays in NumPy

    • NumPy arrays store data efficiently due to fixed types and contiguous memory allocation.
    • 1D arrays have one axis, 2D arrays have two axes, and 3D arrays have three axes.
    • NumPy provides slicing capabilities for accessing data subsets within arrays. Slicing can extract an array element based on start, end, and step indices.

    Pandas

    • Pandas DataFrame is a 2D data structure for tabular data.
    • DataFrames can hold multiple data types (like ndarrays, lists, constants, series, or dictionaries).
    • DataFrames have row and column labels (index) for data organization.
    • DataFrames can use copy method to create deep copies of data.

    Statistical Analysis

    • Univariate analysis examines one variable.
    • Bivariate analysis examines the relationship between two variables.
    • Multivariate analysis examines the relationship between multiple variables.
    • Statistical analysis includes univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses.

    Transformations for Normality

    • Many real-world datasets are not normally distributed.
    • Right-skewed data typically has a longer tail on the right side of the distribution.
    • Left-skewed data has a longer tail on the left side, often observed in test scores.
    • Transformations can be used to achieve normality in data, improving analysis and model performance.

    Outlier Identification

    • Methods for identifying outliers include Z-score standardization, Interquartile Range (IQR), and scatterplots.

    Confidence Intervals

    • A confidence interval is a range of values that likely contains the true value of a population parameter.
    • It includes a confidence level indicating the probability of containing the parameter. 
    • The general form is Point Estimate +/- Margin of Error.

    Box Plots

    • Box plots show the range across a group (or set).
    • Visualizes the median, quartiles, and outliers of a dataset.
    • Useful for comparing distributions and identifying outliers.

    Frequency Heatmaps

    • Heatmaps display data frequency (counts) by visually depicting a dataset with colors.
    • Frequency heatmaps present summary plots of data frequencies.
    • Can show multiple data subsets' distributions or comparisons effectively.

    Model Complexity

    • Model complexity refers to the model's ability to learn from data and generalize to unseen data.
    • Measuring model complexity helps assess the risk of overly simplistic or complicated models.

    Bias and Variance

    • Bias is the model's error from its expected prediction.
    • Variance is the model's error that occurs because of its sensitivity to small fluctuations in the training data.
    • An Overfitting model has high variance and low bias (the model fits the training data too well and performs poorly in new data or generalization is difficult).
    • An Underfitting model has high bias and low variance (it is too simple to capture the patterns in the data).
    • A Balanced model has an appropriate level of bias and variance.

    Hypothesis Testing

    • Hypothesis testing assesses whether evidence supports a particular claim.
    • The process involves stating hypotheses, choosing a confidence level (significance level), collecting data, and analyzing to determine whether to reject or accept (support) the hypothesis. 

    Learning Models

    • Learning models encompass various algorithms, from simple linear regression, to complex methods like support vector machines (SVMs) and decision trees, to random forests and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN).

    Correlation Coefficients

    • Correlation measures the relationship strength (positive or negative) between two variables.
    • Correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1.
    • Values close to 0 indicate no correlation.

    Linear Regression

    • Linear regression models the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables using a linear equation.
    • The goal is to find the least squares fit, by minimizing the squared residuals.

    Regression Evaluation Metrics

    • Metrics used to evaluate regression models include Mean Absolute Error, Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error, R-squared (Coefficient of Determination), and Adjusted R-squared. The metrics show errors from the predicted values.

    Logistic Regression

    • Logistic regression is used for binary classification problems to determine the probability of an outcome.
    • The Sigmoid (S-curve) function models the probability outcomes.

    K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)

    • KNN classifies new data points by examining their proximity to existing data points.
    • Uses distances of data points for classification and decision-making (e.g., Euclidean).

    Support Vector Machines (SVM)

    • SVMs classify data points by attempting to find the best possible separation, maximizing the margin between classes. 

    Decision Trees

    • Decision trees use a series of decision rules —if…then rules—to classify data points.
    • Decision trees represent a system of questions and answers for classification determination.

    Random Forest

    • Random forests combine multiple decision trees.
    • This approach reduces variability of single decision tree predictions for a more accurate overall prediction.

    K-Means Clustering

    • Aims to partition data points into clusters of similar characteristics.
    • Clusters are represented by centroid points.
    • K-means iteratively calculates the distance between data points and closest centroid point, and moves data points to cluster matching those attributes.

    Agglomerative and Divisive Hierarchical Clustering

    • Agglomerative clustering builds clusters from individual data points while Divisive clustering starts from a single cluster and divides it into smaller clusters.

    Model Parameters

    • Model parameters are determined by training data (internal).
    • These parameters control the model's behavior. 

    Hyperparameters

    • Hyperparameters control the learning process and obtained from external parameters.
    • Examples include learning rate, number of epochs, and the number of estimators.

    Miscellaneous Statistics

    • Mean, median, mode, skewness, normalization, standardization, Z-scores, confidence intervals, interquartile range (IQR), distance functions, and entropy.

    Project 2 Deliverable 2

    • The project involves justification, prediction techniques, performance comparison, feature engineering, feature selection, feature scaling, handling missing values, handling imbalanced data, feature encoding, model selection, hyperparameter tuning, best parameter selection, regression and classification evaluation metrics, unsupervised learning (clustering), and supervised learning (regression, classification).
