Why Data Science?

Why Data Science?
The most abundant thing today, is data. We have data about everything which is increasing multifolds everyday!
Increase in data
Then

It is called data-driven science, it is an inter-disciplinary field about scientific methods, processes and systems to extract
knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured.
A question that usually is asked to data scientists is
“Tell us something, that we don’t know?”
It involves:
Programming + Statistics + Business

➢ Discovery involves acquiring data from all the identified internal and external
sources that can help answer the business question.
➢ This data could be
• logs from webservers
• social media data
• census datasets
• data streamed from online sources via APIs

Doctor gets this data from the medical history
of the patient.
Attributes:
npreg – Number of times pregnant
glucose – Plasma glucose concentration
bp – Blood pressure
skin – Triceps skinfold thickness
bmi – Body mass index
ped – Diabetes pedigree function
age – Age
income – Income
Income is an irrelevant attribute in the
prediction of diabetes

➢ The data can have a lot of inconsistencies like missing values, blank columns,
abrupt values and incorrect data format which need to be cleaned.
➢ It is required to explore, preprocess and condition data prior to modeling.
➢ This will help you to spot the outliers and establish a relationship between the
variables.

➢ Diabetes Positive set:
• glucose > 154
• glucose >127 & <= 154 + bmi >30.9
• glucose<=127 + pregnant >5
• glucose<=127 + pregnant <=5 + age >28
• glucose<=127 + pregnant <=5 + age <=28 +bmi > 30.9
➢ Diabetes Negative set:
• glucose > 154
• glucose >127 & <= 154 + bmi <=30.9
• glucose<=127 + pregnant <=5 + age <=28 +bmi <= 30.9
➢ We can use this decision tree result to know whether the patient is vulnerable
to diabetes or not.

How to choose Algorithms in Data Science?

We take a top down approach to answer the same:
Classification Algorithm
Anomaly Detection Algorithm
Regression Algorithms
Clustering Algorithms
Reinforcement Learning
Q1.
Q2.
Q4.
Q3.
Q5.
Is this A or B?
Is this weird?
How much or how many?
How is this organized?
What should I do next?
These are the 5 questions which can be answered in data science.
These algorithms are fitted into three types of categories, which are the following:

Categories of Algorithms
Supervised Learning Reinforcement Learning Unsupervised Learning
Types of Learning

Supervised Learning
Supervised Learning
Unsupervised Learning
Let’s take an example here. Say you are a teacher, and your way of teaching is,
To teach by example, i.e for every problem in their life you are providing solutions to them,
this type of learning is called supervised learning.
Let’s take the same example forward:
Supervised learning is a type of machine learning algorithm that uses a known dataset
(called the training dataset) to make predictions. The training dataset includes input data
and response values. From it, the supervised learning algorithm seeks to build a model that
can make predictions of the response values for a new dataset.
Teaching by Example

Supervised Learning
When your kids are taking decisions out of their own understanding, this type of learning
would be Unsupervised Learning.
Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning algorithm used to draw inferences
from datasets consisting of input data without labeled responses.
Self Learning

Reinforcement learning is an area of machine learning inspired by behaviorist psychology,
concerned with how software agents ought to take actions in an environment so as to
maximize some notion of cumulative reward.
Supervised Learning
If a new situation comes up, the kid will take actions on his own i.e from his past
experiences, but as a parent towards the end of an action you can tell him whether he did
good or not.
Good or Bad?

Data Science Tools

Data Science Tools
The tool that is widely used by Data Analysts is R
R is an open source programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics that is supported by
the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing
statistical software and data analysis.

Why R?
Programming and Statistical Language
Data Analysis and Visualization
Apart from being used as a statistical language , it can
also be used a programming language for
analytical purposes.
Apart from being one of the most dominant analytics tools, R also
is one of the most popular tools used for data visualization.

Why R?
Simple and Easy to Learn
Free and Open Source
R is a simple and easy to learn, read & write
R is an example of a FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source
Software) which means one can freely distribute copies of this
software, read it's source code, modify it, etc.

Datasets
A collection of related sets of information that is composed of separate elements but can be manipulated as a unit by a
computer
Now to do any kind of analysis, you need data right? This need of data is fulfilled through Data Sets.
What are datasets?
Sample Dataset

Datasets
But what if you have a HUGE dataset!
Ever heard of Big Data?

What is Big Data?

www.edureka.co/big-data-and-hadoopEDUREKA HADOOP CERTIFICATION TRAINING
What is Big Data?
“Big data is the term for a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process
using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications”
Volume Variety Velocity Value Veracity
Uncertainty and
inconsistencies in
the data
Finding correct
meaning out of the
data
Data is being
generated at an
alarming rate
Processing different
types of data
Processing
increasing huge
data sets

Big Data
Now these problems had to be dealt with, right?
Hence, Hadoop came into the picture.

What is Hadoop?

What is Hadoop?
Hadoop is a framework that allows us to store and process large data sets in parallel and distributed fashion
H A D O O P
Storage:
Distributed File System
Processing:
Allows parallel &
distributed processing

What is Hadoop?
Now you need a data analytics tool, which can handle this much processing and data.
For that we use Spark R

What is Spark R?
SparkR is an R package that provides a light-weight frontend to use Apache Spark from R. In Spark 2.1.1,SparkR provides a
distributed data frame implementation that supports operations like selection, filtering, aggregation etc. (similar to R data
frames, dplyr) but on large datasets.
WOW!

This dataset provides detailed road safety data about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents from 1979 -2013. Our
aim is to find the following things:
To find the number of accidents happened:
✓ In various weather conditions
✓ In various light conditions
✓ In various road surface conditions
✓ With make information of the accident vehicles
✓ During various days of week
✓ On various road types
✓ Number of casualties per accident per year
✓ Number of accidents happening at various speed limits
We have to find the results of the queries in Hadoop
