Study Notes
Parts of a Formula
- Formulas can be made up of four parts: Functions, References, Constants, and Operators
Function Examples
- SUM - adds a range of numbers
- COUNT - counts the number of cells that contain numbers
- COUNTA - counts the number of cells that contain any value, including text
- SUMIF - sums the values in a range that meet a specified criteria
- AVERAGE - calculates the average of a range of numbers
- ROUND - rounds a number to the nearest decimal place
- PRODUCT - multiplies a range of numbers
- ROMAN - converts an Arabic numeral to a Roman numeral
SUMIF Function
-
Syntax:
sumif(range, criteria, [sum_range]) - Purpose: Sums the values of cells in a range that meet a specified criteria
-
Example:
=SUMIF(A1:A20, 10)sums the cells in the range A1:A20 that contain the value 10
ROUND Function
-
Syntax:
round(number, num_digits) - Purpose: Rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places
-
Example:
=round(12.416667, 2)rounds the number 12.416667 to 2 decimal places, resulting in 12.42.
IF Function
-
Syntax:
if(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false) - Purpose: Checks if a condition is true and returns one value if true and another value if false.
-
Example:
=if(25 > 10, "Greater", "Less")returns "Greater" because 25 is greater than 10.
Best-Selling Movie by Revenue
- Gone With the Wind is the best-selling movie by revenue, with a total sales amount of $60.
- Matrix has a total sales amount of $36.
- Monty Python has a total sales amount of $78.
Best Quarter by Revenue
- Q3 is the best quarter by revenue with a total sales amount of $96.
Data Mining
- Data can be analyzed in many different ways.
- Data can be cross-tabulated to include customer location data.
Supervised vs Unsupervised Learning
- Supervised learning has specific purposes or a target specified for grouping.
- Unsupervised learning does not have a specific purpose or target specified for grouping.
Data Mining Techniques
- Supervised Learning:
- Classification
- Regression
- Artificial Neural Networks
- Unsupervised Learning:
- Cluster Analysis
- Association Rule Mining
Data Visualization
- Data visualization aids in real-time information absorption.
- Common data visualization tools include SAS, Excel, R, Python and big data frameworks like Apache and Hadoop.
Big Data
- Big data is characterized by the following:
- Volume - Billions of rows of data and millions of columns.
- Variety - Complexity of data types and structures.
- Velocity - The speed at which data is being generated, stored, or processed.
- Veracity and Value also play a vital role in understanding big data.
What is Driving the Big Data Revolution?
- Mobile computing
- Video surveillance
- Social networking
- Gene sequencing
- Artificial Intelligence
- Internet of things
Data Analytics: Evolution and Growth
- Data analytics has developed gradually over time, benefiting from advancements in computing.
- Statistics plays a crucial role in data analytics, with a long history in operations research, resource allocation, and scheduling.
- Computing plays a crucial role in data analytics, including processing power, storage, and business intelligence solutions.
Key Components of Data Analytics
- Analyzing data (small or large) using mathematics, statistics, and computer science.
- Data visualization, processing, and decision making to generate insights and patterns.
Business Intelligence (BI)
- Provides decision-makers with valuable information and knowledge from diverse data sources.
- Enables informed decision-making.
Pattern Recognition
- Patterns can be temporal, spatial, or functional.
- Long-established patterns can be broken.
- Business domain knowledge is crucial for identifying patterns..
Different Sources of Data
- Operational records
- Machine logs
- Individual stories
- Website data
- Government data
- Industry reports
- Paper reports
- Meta data: Data about data, such as the time of upload, account, downloads, and views, for a YouTube video.
Continuous vs Discrete
- Continuous variables are measured, such as temperature, height, weight, pressure, and force.
- Discrete variables are counted, such as the number of items in a category.
What is Data?
- Data is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables.
Tidy Data
- Tidy data is structured in a way that makes it easy to work with.
What is Big Data?
- Data comes from various sources and can take many forms.
- Key characteristics of big data:
- Volume: Large amounts of data.
- Variety: Different types and structures of data (structured, semi-structured, unstructured).
- Velocity: Speed at which data is generated and processed.
- Veracity (Finding the truth in the data).
- Value (The potential benefit of that data).
What is Driving the Big Data Revolution?
