    Study Notes

    Datasets

    • Record data
      • Relational records: Database, relational tables, highly structured
      • Data matrix: Numerical matrix, crosstabs
      • Transaction data: Individual events
      • Document data: Term-frequency vector (matrix) of text documents
    • Graphs and networks

    Data in Data Science

    • Entity: A particular thing
    • Attribute: A measurable property of an entity
    • Data: A measurement of an attribute

    Data Categorization - NOIR Topology

    • N: Nominal
    • O: Ordinal
    • I: Interval
    • R: Ratio

    Nominal Scale

    • Definition: Variables with mutually exclusive categories without a logical order.
    • Examples:
      • Gender: {M, F} or {1, 0}
      • Blood groups: {A, B, AB, O}
      • Rhesus (Rh) factors: {+, -}
      • Country code: 048, 040
    • Note: Data categorization using naming convention (numbers, letters, or strings). No mathematical interpretation of numerical values.

    Binary Scale

    • Definition: Nominal variable with two mutually exclusive categories without a logical order.
    • Examples:
      • Switch: {ON, OFF}
      • True/False: {True, False}
      • Yes/No: {Yes, No}
    • Types:
      • Symmetric: Both categories have equal importance.
      • Asymmetric: One category is more important than the other.
