The document outlines the process of data analytics from raw data to deployment, emphasizing key stages such as data preparation, model training, optimization, and evaluation. It discusses the integration of big data platforms and provides a practical example using an airline dataset for predicting flight delays. Additionally, it promotes upcoming KNIME events and resources for learning more about data analytics.

Data Exploration
• Sometimes in between Data Access and Data
Preparation there is a Data Exploration phase
• The Data Exploration phase is useful to get to
know the data
• KNIME offers a few visualization nodes to build
dashboards to explore the data

What about Big Data?
• Big Data serves Scalability
• The whole Analytics Process is no different on
Big Data
• You need:
– a Big Data Platform
– The KNIME Big Data (Spark & Hive) Extension

Classification Problem & Data Set
• Airline Dataset: http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/the-data.html
• Smaller dataset (Jan 2007) (AirlineDataset.table)
• Challenge:
Predict Departure Delays
If on original airline dataset, only flights from airport ORD
Output Class = “delay” if depdelay > 15min
otherwise “no delay”
Available features: date, dep time, arr time, carrier, destination, cancelled, …
