Study Notes
Data Distribution Types
- Univariate distribution deals with a single attribute; bivariate distribution involves two attributes.
Measurement of Attribute
- Measurement methods may not align perfectly with an attribute's properties.
Types of Attributes
-
Nominal (Categorical)
- Represents names or categories.
- Examples: ID numbers, eye color, occupation.
- Operations: Non-meaningful mathematical operations.
- Binary attributes: Two categories, can be symmetric (equal importance) or asymmetric (unequal importance).
-
Ordinal
- Involves values that have a meaningful ranking.
- Examples: Grades, sizes, taste rankings.
- Operations: Central tendency measured through median and mode.
-
Interval
- Measured with equal-sized units, values have order.
- No true zero-point example: temperature in Celsius.
- Allows comparisons of value differences.
-
Ratio
- Involves values as multiples of one another, containing a true zero-point.
- Examples: Length, temperature in Kelvin, counts.
- Allows all mathematical operations.
Properties of Attribute Values
- Distinctness, order, addition, and multiplication define attribute types:
- Nominal: distinctness only.
- Ordinal: distinctness and order.
- Interval: distinctness, order, and addition.
- Ratio: all four properties.
Key Considerations for Time Series Data
- Identify trends: General increase or decrease over time.
- Recognize seasonality: Repeating patterns related to time.
- Detect outliers: Data points significantly diverging from the norm.
- Assess long-run cycles: Fluctuations not related to season.
- Determine variance: Constant vs. non-constant over time.
- Identify abrupt changes in series level or variance.
Data Visualization Techniques
-
Pixel-Oriented Visualization: Maps multiple dimensions to pixels, reflecting their values via color.
-
Circle Segment Layout: Efficient representation of high-dimensional datasets.
-
Matrix Plots: Display relationships between two variables in a matrix format, employing techniques like heatmaps and scatterplot matrices.
Complex Data Visualization
-
3D Cone Trees: Visualize up to a thousand nodes using concentric circles, useful for depicting social networks and infection spread.
-
Tag Clouds: Visual tools to represent user-generated tags, where importance is indicated by font size and color.
-
Social Network Visualization: Illustrates non-numeric data representing relationships and connections among individuals or entities.
Similarity and Dissimilarity Measures
- Similarity function: Quantifies the likeness between two objects on a scale, often between [0, 1].
- Dissimilarity measure: Numerical expression of difference, often used to find similarities; lower values indicate higher similarity.
- Proximity: Used interchangeably with similarity or dissimilarity in data analysis contexts.
Applications of Similarity and Dissimilarity
- Cluster detection based on similarities (e.g., demographics).
- Outlier detection to identify abnormal data points.
- Overall data analysis to establish relationships between datasets.
