    Study Notes

    Market Basket Analysis

    • Primarily based on identifying patterns of items that are frequently purchased together.
    • Confidence is used to measure the likelihood that a customer will buy an item given they have purchased another item.

    Cluster Analysis

    • Groups objects based on their similarities and relationships, allowing for easier analysis.
    • Often used in market segmentation, customer profiling, and identifying sales patterns.
    • Webstores utilize cluster analysis for product recommendations by analyzing customer behavior and preferences.

    Marketing Promotions

    • The primary purpose of marketing promotions using Market Basket Analysis is to enhance cross-selling opportunities and increase overall sales through targeted strategies.
    • Assists in marketing campaigns by identifying associations between products, which can influence promotional placements.

    Confidence Measurement

    • Confidence measures the strength of association between items by calculating the probability of a product being purchased when another product has already been bought.

    Clustering Algorithms

    • The type of clustering algorithm that constructs various partitions and evaluates them is known as an iterative clustering algorithm.
    • The k-means algorithm identifies clusters by partitioning data into k distinct groups based on feature similarity.
    • A density-based clustering algorithm identifies clusters based on the connectivity of data points and their local density.

    Decision Tree Analysis

    • Main purpose is to support decision-making processes by providing a visual representation of possible outcomes and actions.
    • Used in the finance industry for the credit application process to assess risk and creditworthiness.
    • Paths from root to leaf in a decision tree represent decision rules and potential outcomes from a sequence of decisions.
    • Internal nodes represent decision points based on specific attributes used to split the data.

    Applications of Decision Tree Analysis

    • Utilized in the finance industry for fraudulent behavior analysis to detect patterns indicative of fraud.
    • Relevant in product launch planning within marketing to forecast success based on historical data and trends.

    Hierarchical Clustering

    • The purpose of creating a hierarchical decomposition in algorithms is to organize data into nested clusters, allowing for comprehensive analysis of relationships.

    Model-Based Clustering

    • In model-based clustering algorithms, it is hypothesized that each cluster follows a specific distribution, allowing for statistical inference and better understanding of data structure.
