Study Notes
Machine Learning 702AI0C012 Unit-2: Data Exploration, Pre-processing and Visualization
- This unit covers data exploration, pre-processing, and visualization techniques for machine learning.
- Topics include missing value treatment, handling categorical data (mapping ordinal features, encoding class labels, one-hot encoding for nominal features), outlier detection and treatment, feature engineering (variable transformation, variable creation, and feature selection), and data visualization (box plots).
- The workflow of machine learning involves:
- Input data
- Preparing the model (data exploration and pre-processing)
- Learning (model selection, training, and tuning)
- Performance evaluation (testing & validating models)
- Performance improvement (refining models & using ensembling techniques like bagging and boosting).
Data Types in Machine Learning
- Data is categorized as qualitative (categorical) or quantitative (numerical).
- Categorical data comprises:
- Nominal data: unordered categories like blood type, nationality, and gender.
- Ordinal data: ordered categories like customer satisfaction levels, grades, and hardness of metal.
- Numerical data includes:
- Interval data: data with meaningful intervals, like temperature or date, but no true zero point.
- Ratio data: data with a true zero point, like height, weight, and salary.
Data Attributes
- Discrete attributes have a finite or countably infinite number of values (e.g., roll number, street number, gender).
- Numeric attributes can take on any value within a range (e.g., student counts, ranks).
- Binary attributes have only two values (e.g., male/female, yes/no).
- Continuous attributes can take on any real number (e.g., length, height, price).
Descriptive Statistics
- Measures of central tendency:
- Mean: the average of all data values.
- Median: the middle value when data is ordered.
- Mode: the most frequently occurring value.
- Measures of dispersion:
- Range: the difference between the largest and smallest values.
- Interquartile range (IQR): the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles.
- Standard deviation: a measure of how spread out the data is from the mean.
- Variance
Data Visualization - Box Plots
- Box plots display data through quartiles, median, minimum, maximum, and outliers to show data distribution and skewness.
- Box plots aid in visualizing the five-number summary (minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, maximum), which shows the center, spread & shape of data.
- They are helpful in identifying outliers, dispersion, mean values, and signs of skewness in given data.
Handling Missing Values
- Three main categories of methods to handle missing values:
- Skipping: discarding data points or features with missing values.
- Imputation: replacing missing values with estimated values based on other data points or features.
- Methods for imputation:
- Global constant
- Central tendency (mean or median)
- Most probable value (mode)
- Choosing a method depends on the context and strategy of analysis that would minimize loss or skewing of results when the data is discarded.
Normalization
- Techniques to convert different scales of data to a consistent scale:
- Min-max normalization: shifts data to range between 0 and 1.
- Z-score normalization: standardizes data to mean = 0, std dev = 1.
Outlier Treatment
- Three approaches to treat outliers aside from removal:
- Trimming: reducing the effect of outliers (weights)
- Mean/Median: replace outlier values using mean/median
- Log transformation: transform the variable to reduce skewness
