1. INTRODUCTION TO DATA
ANALYTICS:
Data Analytics refers to the techniques used to analyze data to enhance productivity
and business gain.
Data is extracted from various sources and is cleaned and categorized to analyze
various behavioral patterns. The techniques and the tools used vary according to the
organization or individual.
Why is Data Analytics important?
• Data Analytics has a key role in improving your business as it is used to gather hidden
insights, generate reports, perform market analysis, and improve business
requirements.
With today’s technology, companies are able to collect tremendous amounts of
data with relative ease. Indeed, many companies now have more data than they
can handle. However, the data are usually meaningless until they are analyzed for
trends, patterns, relationships, and other useful information.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF DATA
ANALYTICS?
• Gather Hidden Insights – Hidden insights from data are gathered and
then analyzed with respect to business requirements.
• Generate Reports – Reports are generated from the data and are
passed on to the respective teams and individuals to deal with further
actions for a high rise in business.
• Perform Market Analysis – Market Analysis can be performed to
understand the strengths and weaknesses of competitors.
• Improve Business Requirement – Analysis of Data allows
improving Business to customer requirements and experience.

WHAT ARE THE TOOLS USED IN DATA
ANALYTICS?

1.1 SOURCES AND NATURE OF DATA
Different Sources of Data for Data Analysis
• Data collection is the process of acquiring, collecting, extracting, and storing the
voluminous amount of data which may be in the structured or unstructured form like text,
video, audio, XML files, records, or other image files used in later stages of data analysis.
• In the process of big data analysis, “Data collection” is the initial step before starting to
analyze the patterns or useful information in data. The data which is to be analyzed must
be collected from different valid sources.
• The data which is collected is known as raw data which is not useful now but on cleaning
the impure and utilizing that data for further analysis forms information, the information
obtained is known as “knowledge”. Knowledge has many meanings like business
knowledge or sales of enterprise products, disease treatment, etc. The main goal of data
collection is to collect information-rich data.

SOURCES AND NATURE OF DATA
• Data collection starts with asking some questions such as what type of data is
to be collected and what is the source of collection. Most of the data collected
are of two types known as
• “qualitative data“ which is a group of non-numerical data such as words,
sentences mostly focus on behavior and actions of the group and another one
is
• “quantitative data” which is in numerical forms and can be calculated using
different scientific tools and sampling data.
The actual data is then further divided mainly into two types known as:
• Primary data
• Secondary data

METHODS OF COLLECTING PRIMARY
DATA:
1. Interview method:
2. Survey method:
3. Observation method:
4. Experimental method:
• The experimental method is the process of collecting data through performing
experiments, research, and investigation. The most frequently used experiment
methods are CRD, RBD, LSD, FD.
– CRD- Completely Randomized design
– RBD- Randomized Block Design
– LSD – Latin Square Design
– FD- Factorial design

SECONDARY DATA:
Secondary data is the data which has already been collected and reused
again for some valid purpose. This type of data is previously recorded
from primary data and it has two types of sources named internal source
and external source.
• Internal source:
• External source:
• Other sources:
– Sensors data:
– Satellites data:
– Web traffic:

1.2 CLASSIFICATION OF DATA
• Structured data –
Structured data is data whose elements are addressable for effective analysis. It has
been organized into a formatted repository that is typically a
database. Example: Relational data.
• Semi-Structured data –
Semi-structured data is information that does not reside in a relational database but
that have some organizational properties that make it easier to analyze. Example:
XML data.
• Unstructured data –
Unstructured data is a data which is not organized in a predefined manner or does not
have a predefined data model, thus it is not a good fit for a mainstream relational
database. Example: Word, PDF, Text, Media, logs.

1.3 CHARACTERISTICS OF DATA
The seven characteristics that define data quality are:
– Accuracy and Precision
– Legitimacy and Validity
– Reliability and Consistency
– Timeliness and Relevance
– Completeness and Comprehensiveness
– Availability and Accessibility
– Granularity and Uniqueness

1.4 INTRODUCTION TO BIG DATA
PLATFORM
• Big data platform generally consists of servers, database,
business intelligence and other management utilities and
tools.
• It also supports custom development, querying and integration
with other systems.
• The primary benefit behind a big data platform is to reduce the
complexity of multiple vendors/ solutions into a one cohesive
solution.
• Big data platform are also delivered through cloud where the
provider provides an all inclusive big data solutions and services.

ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF BIG DATA
PLATFORM
There are many essential components which are given as follows:
• Data Ingestion, Management, ETL, and Warehouse – It provides
these resources for effective data management and effective data
warehousing, and this manages data as a valuable resource.
• Stream Computing – Helps compute the streaming data that is
used for real-time analytics.
• Analytics/ Machine Learning – Features for advanced analytics
and machine learning.
• Integration – It provides its user with features like integrating big
data from any source with ease.
• Data Governance – It also provides comprehensive security, data
governance, and solutions to protect the data.

ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF BIG
DATA PLATFORM
• Provides Accurate Data – It delivers with analytic tools which in turn helps to omit any
inaccurate data that has not been analyzed. This also helps the business to make the
right decision by utilizing accurate information.
• Scalability – It also helps scale the application to analyze all time climbing data; it
sizes to provide efficient analysis. It offers scalable storage capacity.
• Price Optimization – Data analytics with the help of a big data platform provides
insight for B2C and B2B enterprises which helps the business to optimize the prices
they charge accordingly.
• Reduced Latency – With the set of the warehouse, analytics tools, and efficient Data
transformation, it helps to reduce the data latency and provide high throughput.

1.5 NEED OF DATA ANALYTICS
• “Data Analytics refers to qualitative and quantitative techniques and processes
used to enhance productivity and business gain.”
• Data is extracted, acknowledged and bifurcated to identify and analyze behavioral
data, techniques and patterns can be dynamic according to a particular business’s
need or requirement.
• Data Analytics is a broader term that has analysis as a subhead and analytics is
basically the concepts used to do the analysis.

WHAT IS DATA ANALYTICS?
• The term data analytics refers to the process of examining datasets to draw conclusions
about the information they contain. Data analytic techniques enable you to take raw data
and uncover patterns to extract valuable insights from it.
• Today, many data analytics techniques use specialized systems and software that
integrate machine learning algorithms, automation and other capabilities.
• Data Scientists and Analysts use data analytics techniques in their research, and
businesses also use it to inform their decisions. Data analysis can help companies better
understand their customers, evaluate their ad campaigns, personalize content, create
content strategies and develop products. Ultimately, businesses can use data analytics to
boost business performance and improve their bottom line.

WHAT IS DATA ANALYTICS?
• For businesses, the data they use may include historical data or new information
they collect for a particular initiative. They may also collect it first-hand from their
customers and site visitors or purchase it from other organizations.
• Data a company collects about its own customers is called first-party data, data a
company obtains from a known organization that collected it is called second-party
data, and aggregated data a company buys from a marketplace is called third-party
data. The data a company uses may include information about an audience’s
demographics, their interests, behaviors and more.

4 WAYS TO USE DATA ANALYTICS
1. Improved Decision Making
2. More Effective Marketing
3. Better Customer Service
4. More Efficient Operations

DATA ANALYTICS TECHNOLOGY
Machine learning:
• Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of developing and using computer systems that can
simulate human intelligence to complete tasks.
• Machine learning (ML) is a subset of AI that is significant for data analytics and involves
algorithms that can learn on their own.
• ML enables applications to take in data and analyze it to predict outcomes without
someone explicitly programming the system to reach that conclusion.

Data management:
• Before you can analyze data, you need to have procedures in place
for managing the flow of data in and out of your systems and keeping
your data organized.
• You also need to ensure that your data is high-quality and that you
collect it in a central data management platform (DMP) where it’s
available for use when needed. Establishing a data management
program can help ensure that your organization is on the same page
regarding how to organize and handle data.

Data mining:
• The term data mining refers to the process of sorting through large amounts of
data to identify patterns and discover relationships between data points.
• It enables you to sift through large datasets and figure out what’s relevant.
• You can then use this information to conduct analyses and inform your
decisions.
• Today’s data mining technologies allow you to complete these tasks
exceptionally quickly.

Predictive analytics:
• Predictive analytics technology helps you analyze historical data to
predict future outcomes and the likelihood of various outcomes
occurring.
• These technologies typically use statistical algorithms and machine
learning.
• More accurate predictions means businesses can make better
decisions moving forward and position themselves to succeed. It
allows them to anticipate their customers’ needs and concerns,
predict future trends and stay ahead of the competition.

1.6 EVOLUTION OF ANALYTIC
SCALABILITY
Analytics 1.0 → Need for Business Intelligence:
• This was the uprising of Data warehouse where customer (Business) and production
processes (Transactions) were centralized into one huge repository like eCDW
(Enterprise Consolidated Data Warehouse) . A real progress was established in gaining
an objective, deep understanding of important business phenomena — thereby giving
managers the fact-based comprehension to go beyond intuition when making decisions.
• The data surrounding eCDW was captured, transformed and queried using ETL & BI
tools. The type of analytics exploited during this phase was mainly classified
as Descriptive (what happened) and Diagnostic (why something happened).

EVOLUTION OF ANALYTIC
SCALABILITY
Analytics 2.0 → Big Data:
•
Analytics 3.0 → Data Enriched Offerings:
• The pioneering big data firms began investing in analytics to support customer-facing
products, services, and features.
• They attracted viewers to their websites through better search algorithms,
recommendations , suggestions for products to buy, and highly targeted ads, all driven
by analytics rooted in enormous amounts of data.

SCALABILITY
• Analytics 4.0 → Automated Capabilities:
• There have always been four types of analytics:
– Descriptive, which reports on the past;
– Diagnostic, which uses the data of the past to study the present;
– Predictive, which uses insights based on past data to predict the future; and
– Prescriptive, which uses models to specify optimal behaviors and actions
• Neural Machine Translation, Smart Reply, Chat-bots, and Meeting Assistants

SCALABILITY
• Analytics 5.0 → Future of Analytics and Whats Next ???:
• We could reframe the threat of automation as an opportunity
for augmentation: combining smart humans and smart machines to achieve an
overall better result.
• Now, instead of pondering “What tasks currently employed by humans will soon
be replaced by machines?”
• Most organizations that are exploring “cognitive” technologies — smart machines
that automate aspects of decision-making processes — are just putting a toe in the
water.
• There will be no more manual interventions necessary with just an AI-powered
system to steer your personal day-to-day activities.

1.7 ANALYTIC PROCESS AND TOOLS
• Making Smarter and More Efficient Organization
• Optimize Business Operations by Analyzing Customer Behavior
• Cost Reduction
• New Generation Products

STAGES IN DATA ANALYTICS
• These are the following stages involved in the Data Analytics process:

TYPES OF DATA ANALYTICS
• Descriptive Analytics: It uses data aggregation and data mining to provide insight
into the past and answer: “What has happened?” The descriptive analytics does
exactly what the name implies they “describe” or summarize raw data and make it
interpretable by humans.
• Predictive Analytics: It uses statistical models and forecasts techniques to
understand the future and answer: “What could happen?” Predictive analytics
provides companies with actionable insights based on data. It provides estimates
about the likelihood of a future outcome.

TYPES OF DATA ANALYTICS
• Prescriptive Analytics: It uses optimization and simulation algorithms to advice on
possible outcomes and answers: “What should we do?” It allows users to
“prescribe” a number of different possible actions and guide them towards a solution.
In a nutshell, this analytics is all about providing advice.
• Diagnostic Analytics: It is used to determine why something happened in the past. It
is characterized by techniques such as drill-down, data discovery, data mining and
correlations. Diagnostic analytics takes a deeper look at data to understand the root
causes of the events.

BIG DATA TOOLS
• These are some of the following tools used for Data Analytics:
• Hadoop,
• Pig,
• Apache HBase,
• Apache Spark,
• Talend,
• Splunk,
• Apache Hive,
• Kafka.

1.8 ANALYSIS VS. REPORTING
Reporting and analysis are very different in terms of their purpose, tasks, outputs, delivery,
and value.
• Reporting: The process of organizing data into informational summaries in order to monitor
how different areas of a business are performing
• Analysis: The process of exploring data and reports in order to extract meaningful insights,
which can be used to better understand and improve business performance.
• Reporting translates raw data into information.
• Analysis transforms data and information into insights.

1.9 MODERN DATA ANALYTIC TOOLS
• Data Analysis is the technique by which raw data is transformed into useful
statistics, insights, and explanations to make Data-driven business decisions.
Data Analysis has become the cornerstone of modern business operations.
•
• It is a daunting task to choose the best Data analytics tool since no tool fits every need.
Let’s look at the key factors for choosing between the Data analytics tools and then
explore some of the most popular Data analytics tools available in the market today.

2) HOW TO CHOOSE A DATA ANALYST
TOOL?
• How do you find one amongst several Data analytics tools that’s a good fit for
your company?
• Start by considering your company’s business requirements and learning that who
will be using the Data analytics tools. Will it be used by seasoned Data Analysts and
Data Scientists or non-technical users who need an intuitive interface?
• Some Data analytics tools provide an immersive experience in code creation, generally
with SQL, while others are more concerned with click-and-point review best suited for
fresher’s. The Data analytics software should also offer support for visualizations
relevant to your business goals.

2) HOW TO CHOOSE A DATA ANALYST
TOOL?
• Consider the ability of Data analytics software to model data. Some support a
syntactic and semantic layer or can perform data modeling themselves. If you do not
wish to use one that does, you’ll have to use SQL or Data analytics tools like the data
build tool (dbt) to model your data before analysis.
• Finally, take price and licensing into consideration. Some Data analytics tools charge
license or subscription fees, while some Data analytics tools are free. The most
expensive Data analytics tools are not always the most comprehensive, and there
many robust and free Data analytics tools available in the market that shouldn’t be
overlooked.

• Data discovery,
• Data preparation,
• Data model planning,
• Data model building,
• Communicating results, and
• Operationalization.

PHASE 1: DATA DISCOVERY AND
FORMATION
• During this process, the team learns about the business domain and checks whether
the business unit or organization has worked on similar projects to refer to any
learning’s.
• In this phase, the team also evaluates technology, people, data, and time.
• For example, while dealing with a small dataset, the team can use Excel.

PHASE 2: DATA PREPARATION AND
PROCESSING

requirements.
• One of the essential aspects of this phase is ensuring data availability for processing.
• The stage encompasses the collection, processing, and cleansing of the
accumulated data.

PHASE 3: DESIGN A MODEL
• This phase needs the availability of an analytic sandbox for the team to work with
data and perform analytics throughout the project duration. The team can load data in
several ways.
– Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) – It transforms the data based on a set of business rules
loading it into the sandbox.
– Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) – It loads the data into the sandbox and then transforms it
based on a set of business rules.
– Extract, Transform, Load, Transform (ETLT) – It’s the combination of ETL and ELT and
transformation levels.

PHASE 4: MODEL BUILDING
• They use various statistical modeling methods such as
• regression techniques,
• decision trees,
• random forest modeling, and
• neural networks and perform a trial run to determine whether it corresponds to the
datasets.

PHASE 5: RESULT COMMUNICATION
AND PUBLICATION
• This phase aims to determine whether the project results are a success or failure and
start collaborating with significant stakeholders. The team identifies the vital findings
of their analysis, measures the associated business value, and creates a
summarized narrative to convey the stakeholders’ results.

PHASE 6: MEASURING OF
EFFECTIVENESS
• In this final step, the team presents an in-depth report with coding, briefing, key
findings, and technical documents and papers to the stakeholders. Besides this, the
data is moved to a live environment and monitored to measure the analysis’s
