Study Notes
Supervised Learning
- Supervised learning uses labeled data to train a model to predict outputs for new, unlabeled data.
- Examples include predicting house prices using data about living areas and prices.
- The aim is to learn a function that maps input features to output values.
Big Data
- Big data is characterized by large volume, making traditional data handling methods inefficient.
- One zettabyte is equal to 1021 bytes.
Data Workflow
- Data workflow consists of four general steps:
- Data Collection & Storage: Collection of data from various sources, like traffic, surveys, or media traces. Data is stored in raw format in data lakes or databases.
- Data Preparation: cleaning data, removing missing or duplicate values, and converting it into a more organized format.
- Exploration & Visualization: Visualizing data using dashboards to track changes, compare different datasets, and analyze trends and relationships.
- Experimentation & Prediction: Gaining insights from data to draw conclusions and make decisions. This step can involve building predictive models using machine learning techniques.
Data Engineers
- Data engineers manage the data workflow.
- Their tasks include delivering correct data in the right form, to the right people, and efficiently.
- They ingest data from different resources, optimize databases for analysis, remove corrupted data, and develop, test, and maintain data architectures.
Big Data Management
- Managing big data involves ingesting data from multiple sources, processing it, and storing it.
- Data pipelines enable the efficient flow of data from sources to data warehouses.
Data Types - Unstructured Data
- Unstructured data doesn't follow a predefined format. Examples include Facebook feeds, presentations, and PDF documents.
- It's challenging to search, manage, and analyze.
- It's often stored in data lakes, but can appear in data warehouses or databases.
- Unstructured data is extremely valuable and can be analyzed using AI and ML techniques.
Data Lakes & Data Warehouses
- Data lakes store all raw data, while data warehouses store specific data for specific use.
- Data lakes store all data structures, while data warehouses mainly store structured data.
- A data warehouse is a type of database.
- Data lakes are cost-effective, while data warehouses are more costly to update.
Linear Models - Normality
- Normality is evaluated using Q-Q plots.
- Q-Q plots compare quantiles of the variable to expected quantiles of the normal distribution.
- For normally distributed variables, the relationship should fall on a 45-degree line.
Linear Models - Collinearity
- Multicollinearity occurs when independent variables are highly correlated with each other.
- This can undermine the statistical significance of independent variables and make it challenging to assess their individual effects.
- Multicollinearity can be assessed using correlation matrices and variance inflation factors (VIF).
- It can be resolved by removing redundant variables, using Principal Component Analysis, or other methods.
Evaluating Multicollinearity: Heat Maps of Correlation Matrix
- Heat maps of correlation matrices can be used to visualize multicollinearity.
