Study Notes
Data Transformation
- Data transformation involves changing data from one format to another, essential in data preprocessing.
- Methods include binning, clustering, regression, and a combination of human and computer inspection.
- Binning converts numerical data into categorical components.
- Clustering involves grouping data based on similarity.
- Regression utilizes a regression line to analyze relationships.
Normalization Techniques
- Normalization scales specific variables to fit within a small range.
- Min-max normalization transforms values to a new scale.
- Z-score standardization converts a numerical variable to a standard normal distribution.
Encoding and Binning
- Binning categorizes numerical variables into categorical counterparts.
- Equal-width partitioning divides data into N intervals of equal size.
- Equal-depth partitioning ensures each interval contains approximately the same number of samples.
Data Reduction
- Aims to obtain a condensed representation of datasets.
- Techniques include sampling and feature subset selection.
Sampling Methods
- Simple random sampling allows equal selection probability.
- Sampling without replacement does not reuse selected items.
- Sampling with replacement reuses items in the population.
- Stratified sampling divides data into various partitions for selection.
Feature Subset Selection
- Reduces dimensionality by removing redundant features.
- Techniques include:
- Brute-force approach which tests all possible feature combinations.
- Embedded approaches which naturally select features.
- Filter approaches that select features based on their relevance.
- Wrapper approaches which utilize a mining algorithm as a black box.
Data Cleaning
- Addresses anomalies in data storage before mining.
- Major tasks include filling in missing values and cleaning noisy data.
- Steps for data cleaning encompass monitoring errors, validation of data accuracy, and scrubbing duplicate data.
