    Study Notes

    Data Preprocessing

    • Data preprocessing is the process of preparing data for analysis
    • It ensures data quality and reliability
    • Major tasks include: Data Cleaning, Data Integration, Data Reduction, Data Transformation, Data Discretization

    Data Integration

    • Data integration combines data from multiple sources into a single view
    • Enhances data quality and enriches data with additional information
    • Allows reliable data analysis

    Data Integration Challenges

    • Heterogeneity Problems: Data sources can have different structures, data types, and values, making integration complex
    • Schema Heterogeneity: Tables storing data can be structured differently, even if storing the same information
    • Data Type Heterogeneity: Same data values might be stored in different data types, like storing phone numbers as String or Number
    • Value Heterogeneity: Same logical values might be stored in different ways, such as using abbreviations or different spellings for the same term
    • Entity Identification: Identifying the same entity across different sources, like different names for the same person

    Joining Tables

    • Joining tables allows extracting and processing data from multiple tables simultaneously
    • Inner Join: Includes matching rows only
    • Full Outer Join: Includes all rows from both tables
    • Left Join: Includes all rows from the left table

    Data Warehouse

    • A system used for reporting and data analysis
    • Integrates data from different sources to create a central repository
    • Data warehouse is a crucial component of data integration process

    ETL

    • Extracting data from source(s)
    • Transforming data to clean and prepare it for analysis
    • Loading data into a target database or data warehouse

    ETL Process

    • Involves data extraction, transformation, and loading
    • Extracts data from source systems
    • Cleanses and transforms data based on pre-defined rules
    • Loads data into a target database or data warehouse

    Data Cleaning

    • Parsing: Identifies individual data elements in source files and isolates them in target files
    • Combining: Identifies individual data elements and combines them in target files
    • Correcting: Uses algorithms and secondary sources to correct parsed data components
    • Standardizing: Transforms data into a preferred format using standard and custom data rules
    • Matching: Eliminates duplicates and sequences by searching and matching records based on predefined data rules

    Data Staging

    • Prepares and organizes data before moving it to its final destination
    • Ensures data quality and transformation
    • Makes data ready for analysis and reporting
