What Is Data Warehouse: 1) Predictive Tasks

A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated collection of data that supports management decision making. It contains detailed and summarized data from across an organization. An enterprise data warehouse integrates data across the entire organization, while a data mart contains a subset of data relevant to a specific group. A virtual warehouse uses views over operational databases without requiring data be extracted and integrated.

What is Data Warehouse

“A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, and nonvolatile collection


of data in support of management’s decision-making process.”

Data Warehouse Modeling


1) Enterprise warehouse
 An enterprise warehouse collects all of the information about subjects spanning the
entire organization.
 It provides corporate-wide data integration and It typically contains detailed data as
well as summarized data.
 It requires extensive business modeling and may take years to design and build.

2) Data mart
 A data mart contains a subset of corporate-wide data that is of value to a specific
group of users.
 The scope is confined to specific selected subjects.
 The data contained in data marts tend to be summarized. Data marts are usually
implemented on servers that are Unix/Linux or Windows based.
 Depending on the source of data, data marts can be categorized as independent or
dependent.

3) Virtual warehouse
 A virtual warehouse is a set of views over operational databases.
 For efficient query processing, only some of the possible summary views may be
materialized. A virtual warehouse is easy to build but requires excess capacity on
operational database servers.

What is Data Mining


Data Mining is the process of automatically discovering useful information in large data
repositories. Where it is a process used to extract usable data from a larger set of any raw
data and it implies analysing data patterns in large batches of data using one or more
software.

Data Mining Tasks


Data mining tasks are generally divided into two major categories:
1) Predictive tasks:
 It Use some variables to predict unknown or future values of other variables.
 The attribute to be predicted is called: target or dependent.
 Attribute used for making prediction are called: explanatory or independent variable.
2) Descriptive tasks:
 Here the objective is to derive patterns that summarize the relationships in data.
 They are needed post processing the data to validate and explain the results.

Four of the Core data Mining tasks:

 Predictive Modeling: It refers to the task of building a model for the target variable as a
function of the explanatory variable. There is two types of predictive modeling tasks:
Classification: It is used for discrete target variables.
Regression: It is used for continuous target variables.
 Association Analysis: it is used to find group of data that have related functionality. And its
Goal is to extract the most of interesting patterns in an efficient manner.
 Cluster Analysis: Clustering has been used to group sets of related customers.
 Anomaly Detection: It is the task of identifying observations whose characteristics are
significantly different from the rest of the data. Such observations are known as anomalies or
outliers.

Data Mining Applications


1) Financial Data Analysis
The financial data in banking and financial industry is generally reliable and is of high quality
which facilitates systematic data analysis and data mining.
For example,

 Loan payment prediction and customer credit policy analysis.


 Classification and clustering of customers for targeted marketing.
2) Retail Industry
Data Mining has its great application in Retail Industry because it collects large amount of
data from on sales, customer purchasing history, goods transportation, consumption and
services. the quantity of data collected will continue to expand rapidly because of the
increasing ease and availability.
Data mining in retail industry helps in identifying customer buying patterns and trends that
lead to improved quality of customer service and good customer retention and satisfaction.
For example:

 Multidimensional analysis of sales, customers, products, time and region.


 Customer Retention.
 Product recommendation and cross-referencing of items

3) Telecommunication Industry
Today the telecommunication industry is one of the most emerging industries providing
various services such as fax, pager, cellular phone, internet messenger, images, e- mail, web
data transmission, etc. Due to the development of new computer and communication
technologies, the telecommunication industry is rapidly expanding in business field.
For example:
Data mining in telecommunication industry helps in identifying the telecommunication
patterns, catch fraudulent activities and improve quality of service.
4) Biological Data Analysis
In recent times, we have seen a tremendous growth in the field of biology such as genomics,
proteomics, functional Genomics and biomedical research. Biological data mining is a very
important part of Bioinformatics.
For example:

 Semantic integration of heterogeneous, distributed genomic and proteomic


databases.
 Discovery of structural patterns and analysis of genetic networks and protein
pathways.
 Visualization tools in genetic data analysis.
5) Intrusion Detection
Intrusion refers to any kind of action that threatens integrity, confidentiality, or the
availability of network resources. In this world of connectivity, security has become the
major issue. With increased usage of internet and availability of the tools and tricks for
attacking network prompted intrusion detection to become a critical component of network
administration.
For example:

 Development of data mining algorithm for intrusion detection.


 Analysis of Stream data.
 Visualization and query tools
