Study Notes
ROC Curve and Evaluation Metrics
- A ROC curve measures the efficiency of a model, with the ideal model being closest to the upper left corner.
- The area under the curve (AUC) is a measure of efficiency, with an ideal model having an AUC of 1.
- Regression model evaluation metrics include:
- Absolute error: the absolute difference between the model's output and the desired output.
- Relative error: the absolute error normalized with respect to the desired output to obtain a unit-less percentage.
Data Science Applications
- Data science is used to extract useful information and make predictions in various industries, such as:
- Supermarkets: to analyze costs and revenues and predict outcomes of different business scenarios.
- Logistics: UPS used data science to reduce fuel usage by 8.4 million gallons and shave 85 million miles off its routes.
- Entertainment: IMDB uses data science to extract information and answer questions about the movie industry.
- Data science tools can be used to:
- Identify customer satisfaction and areas for improvement in customer service departments.
- Improve public transportation systems in smart cities.
- Diagnose diseases in medical applications using artificial intelligence.
Data Science Activities
- Data science activities are conducted in three dimensions: data flow, data curation, and data analytics.
- Data flow involves collecting, storing, and managing data.
- Data curation involves refining collected data, including handling changes to data.
- Data analytics involves extracting insights and making predictions from data.
Machine Learning
- Machine learning is used to extract knowledge from data and make predictions.
- Types of machine learning include:
- Unsupervised learning: using cluster analysis to learn from data.
- Supervised learning: using classification and regression approaches to learn from data.
- Machine learning can be used to:
- Automate decision-making processes.
- Identify use cases and achieve value propositions using tools like the machine learning canvas.
Feature Selection
- Feature selection involves selecting informative and relevant features from a dataset.
- Correlation analysis is used to separate redundant features and keep features that show high correlation with the target variable.
- The result is a reduction in feature sets and more comprehendable data.
