Study Notes

Data Mining Concepts

Computationally expensive processes often hinder efficiency in analyzing large data sets.

Apriori Principle

A fundamental algorithm for mining frequent itemsets used in association rule learning.

Rule Generation

The process of deriving actionable insights from the frequent itemsets identified by algorithms like Apriori.

Lift Ratio

A metric that determines the strength of an association rule; it compares the observed support of an itemset to the expected support if items were independent.

Sequential Pattern Mining

A technique for identifying regular sequences or patterns in time-ordered data.

Sequence

An ordered list of items that can represent events, transactions, or similar occurrences over time.

Subsequence

A sequence derived from another sequence by deleting zero or more elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.

SPADES Algorithm

An algorithm for sequential pattern discovery, effectively utilizing equivalence classes to identify frequent patterns across sequences.

Application of the SPADES Algorithm

Employee ID, job title, department, date of promotion, and training programs serve as datasets.
Equivalence classes, frequent pattern mining, and analysis help enhance career development, talent management, and decision-making.

Hierarchical Clustering

A method of cluster analysis that seeks to build a hierarchy of clusters.

Dendrogram

A visual representation of the arrangement of clusters, illustrating the relationships through a tree-like diagram.

Strengths of Hierarchical Clustering

Enables the visualization of data relationships but can be computationally intensive.

Types of Hierarchical Clustering

Agglomerative: Starts with individual data points which are gradually merged into larger clusters.
Divisive: Begins with a single cluster and divides it into smaller clusters iteratively.

CRISP-DM Framework

A widely accepted standard for data mining projects, encompassing seven essential steps: business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, deployment, and maintenance.

Statistical Analysis

Critical for understanding patterns in data and informing decision-making processes.

Data Preprocessing

Vital for improving data quality, addressing missing values and integrating diverse data sources.

Data Imputation

A technique for handling missing data by replacing it with substituted values to retain dataset integrity.

Data Binary Encoding

Categorical variables transform into numerical representations indicating presence (1) or absence (0).

Data Transformation Tasks

Essential tasks to prepare raw data for analysis, improving data usability and accuracy.

Feature Selection and Creation

Involves techniques to choose relevant features for models, enhancing predictive performance while reducing computational burden.

Data Smoothing Techniques

Moving averages help identify trends, while exponential smoothing addresses noise in datasets.

Applications in Predictive Analytics

Employee retention and recruitment strategies supported by predictive modeling increase organizational effectiveness.

Classification Algorithms

Various methods utilized in data classification, each with its benefits and drawbacks, including handling complexity and data missingness.

Support Vector Machines (SVM)

Classification technique utilizing hyperplanes to separate classes in data cleverly, with linear and non-linear SVMs adapting to data structure.

Regression Models

Used for predicting outcomes based on relationships between variables; includes simple and multiple linear regression models.

Indicator Variable

Used in regression analysis to represent categorical data, also known as a dummy variable.

Logistic Regression

A statistical method for predicting binary outcomes, utilizing maximum likelihood estimation.

Unsupervised Learning

Discovers patterns within unlabeled data, contrasting with supervised learning which requires labeled input.

Text Mining

The process of deriving useful information from unstructured text data, critical for natural language processing applications.

Sentiment Analysis

A technique for extracting and understanding emotions or opinions expressed in social media posts, revealing public sentiment toward subjects.

Focuses on evaluating opinions related to specific subjects and understanding the influence of user-generated content and trends.
