SET NUMBER:-1 [Big Data]

Q1]
a) Population: In statistics, a population refers to the entire set of individuals or items that are
of interest in a particular study. This can be a complete collection of data from which a sample
may be drawn.
b) Operators in R: Operators in R are symbols or functions that perform operations on data.
They can be classified into arithmetic operators (e.g., +, -, *, /), relational operators (e.g., ==, >,
<), logical operators (e.g., &, |, !), and assignment operators (e.g., <-).
c) Array in R: An array in R is a data structure that can hold data in more than two dimensions.
It is a multi-dimensional generalization of vectors and matrices, where data is organized in
rows, columns, and potentially more dimensions.
d) Sample: A sample is a subset of a population, selected to represent the larger group. It is
used in statistics to make inferences about the population based on the sample data.
e) Machine Learning: Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that focuses on the
development of algorithms and statistical models that allow computers to learn from and
make predictions or decisions based on data.
f) Data Frame: A data frame in R is a two-dimensional, tabular data structure that can hold
different types of variables (e.g., numeric, character) in columns, similar to a spreadsheet or
SQL table.
g) Market Basket Analysis: Market basket analysis is a data mining technique used to
understand the purchase behavior of customers by analyzing co-occurrences of items in
transactions. It helps identify patterns and associations between products.
h) Data Analytics: Data analytics is the process of examining datasets to draw conclusions
about the information they contain, often using specialized systems and software. It involves
various techniques to analyze data, derive insights, and support decision-making.
i) head() and tail(): In R, head() is a function that returns the first few rows of a data frame or
vector, while tail() returns the last few rows. By default, both functions return six rows, but this
can be adjusted.
j) Data Types in R: Common data types in R include:
• Numeric: For numbers (e.g., integers, floats).
• Character: For text strings.
• Logical: For TRUE/FALSE values.
• Factor: For categorical data with levels.
• List: A collection of objects that can be of different types.
• Data frame: A table-like structure for storing data.

Q2]
a) Explain Probability in detail
Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the likelihood of different outcomes. It
quantifies uncertainty and is fundamental to statistics, helping to predict future events based
on known information.
Key Concepts:
• Experiment: An action or process that leads to one or more outcomes (e.g., rolling a
die).
• Sample Space (S): The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment (e.g., for a die, S
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}).
• Event (E): A specific outcome or a set of outcomes (e.g., rolling an even number: E =
{2, 4, 6}).
• Probability of an Event (P(E)): The measure of the likelihood that an event will occur,
calculated as:
P(E)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomesP(E) =
\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible
outcomes}}P(E)=Total number of possible outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes
Types of Probability:
1. Theoretical Probability: Based on the reasoning behind probability (e.g., flipping a fair
coin).
2. Empirical Probability: Based on observations or experiments (e.g., how often an event
occurs in real life).
3. Subjective Probability: Based on personal judgment or experience rather than exact
calculations.

b) Explain The Types of Analytics


Analytics can be broadly categorized into four main types:
1. Descriptive Analytics: Focuses on summarizing historical data to identify patterns
and trends. It answers the question, "What happened?" Techniques include data
aggregation and mining.
2. Diagnostic Analytics: Explores data to understand why something happened. It
answers questions like, "Why did it happen?" This often involves statistical analysis
and data visualization.
3. Predictive Analytics: Uses historical data and statistical algorithms to forecast future
outcomes. It answers "What is likely to happen?" Common techniques include
regression analysis and machine learning models.
4. Prescriptive Analytics: Recommends actions based on data analysis. It answers
"What should be done?" This often uses optimization and simulation techniques to
suggest the best course of action.

c) Explain Correlation with its types


Correlation measures the relationship between two or more variables, indicating how one
variable may change in relation to another.
Types of Correlation:
1. Positive Correlation: As one variable increases, the other variable also tends to
increase (e.g., height and weight).
2. Negative Correlation: As one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease
(e.g., the number of hours studied and the number of mistakes made).
3. No Correlation: No apparent relationship between the variables (e.g., shoe size and
intelligence).
Correlation Coefficient: This is a numerical value (ranging from -1 to 1) that quantifies the
strength and direction of a relationship:
• 1: Perfect positive correlation
• -1: Perfect negative correlation
• 0: No correlation

d) Explain the Application of Big Data


Big data refers to extremely large datasets that can be analyzed to reveal patterns, trends, and
associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions. Its applications include:

algorithm learns to predict outcomes based on the input data (e.g., regression,
classification).
2. Unsupervised Learning: The model is trained on unlabeled data and tries to find
patterns or groupings (e.g., clustering, dimensionality reduction).
3. Reinforcement Learning: The model learns by interacting with its environment and
receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties (e.g., training robots or playing
games).
Applications:
• Natural Language Processing: Chatbots, translation services.
• Image Recognition: Facial recognition, object detection.
• Recommendation Systems: Product recommendations on e-commerce sites.
• Predictive Analytics: Forecasting sales or customer behavior.

Q3]
a) How Naive Bayes Algorithm works
Naive Bayes is a probabilistic classifier based on Bayes' theorem, which assumes
independence between features. It is particularly effective for large datasets and text
classification.
How it works:
1. Bayes’ Theorem: It calculates the probability of a class based on prior knowledge of
conditions related to the data.

P(C∣X)=P(X∣C)⋅P(C)P(X)P(C|X) = \frac{P(X|C) \cdot P(C)}{P(X)}P(C∣X)=P(X)P(X∣C)⋅P(C)


where:

o P(C∣X)P(C|X)P(C∣X) is the posterior probability of class CCC given feature XXX.


o P(X∣C)P(X|C)P(X∣C) is the likelihood of feature XXX given class CCC.
o P(C)P(C)P(C) is the prior probability of class CCC.
o P(X)P(X)P(X) is the evidence.
2. Independence Assumption: It assumes that the presence of a particular feature in a
class is unrelated to the presence of any other feature.
3. Classification: The algorithm computes the posterior probabilities for all classes and
assigns the class with the highest probability.
b) Explain Decision Tree with example
A decision tree is a flowchart-like structure where each internal node represents a test on a
feature, each branch represents the outcome of the test, and each leaf node represents a
class label.
Example: Consider a dataset for predicting whether someone will play outside based on
weather conditions. The features could be "Outlook" (Sunny, Overcast, Rain), "Temperature"
(Hot, Mild, Cool), and "Humidity" (High, Normal).
• Root Node: "Outlook"
o Sunny → Check "Humidity"
▪ High → No
▪ Normal → Yes
o Overcast → Yes
o Rain → Check "Temperature"
▪ Hot → No
▪ Mild → Yes
▪ Cool → Yes
The tree is used to make predictions by traversing from the root to a leaf node based on feature
values.

c) Explain Support Vector Machine (SVM) with example


SVM is a supervised learning algorithm used for classification and regression. It works by
finding the optimal hyperplane that separates data points of different classes in a high-
dimensional space.
Example: Imagine a dataset with two features, and two classes: Class A (blue) and Class B
(red). The SVM algorithm will find a hyperplane that maximizes the margin between the
closest points (support vectors) of each class.
• If the data is linearly separable, SVM will create a linear hyperplane.
• If not, SVM can use kernel tricks (like polynomial or radial basis function kernels) to
transform the data into a higher dimension where it becomes separable.

d) Explain Digital Data with its types


Digital data refers to information represented in binary format (0s and 1s) that can be
processed by computers.
Types of Digital Data:
1. Structured Data: Highly organized, easily searchable data (e.g., databases,
spreadsheets).
2. Unstructured Data: Data that lacks a predefined structure (e.g., text files, images,
videos).
3. Semi-structured Data: Contains elements of both structured and unstructured data
(e.g., XML, JSON).
e) Explain Association Rule Mining
Association rule mining is a technique used to discover interesting relationships between
variables in large datasets. It's commonly used in market basket analysis to find sets of
products that frequently co-occur in transactions.
Key Concepts:
• Support: The frequency of the itemset appearing in the dataset.
• Confidence: The likelihood that a rule holds true for a given itemset.
• Lift: Measures how much more likely the itemset is to occur together compared to
random chance.
Example: If 100 transactions include bread and 80 transactions include butter, and 60
transactions include both, an association rule could be:
• If a customer buys bread, they are likely to buy butter.
o Support = 60100=0.6\frac{60}{100} = 0.610060=0.6
o Confidence = 6080=0.75\frac{60}{80} = 0.758060=0.75
This means there is a 75% chance that customers who buy bread will also buy butter.

Q5]
a) Data Manipulation Functions
Data manipulation functions are essential for cleaning, transforming, and analyzing datasets in
programming environments like R. Common functions include:
• filter(): Used to subset rows based on certain conditions.
• select(): Allows you to choose specific columns from a dataset.

transformations.
• arrange(): Sorts the data by specified columns.
• summarize(): Computes summary statistics for specified groups of data.
These functions are often part of the dplyr package, which is widely used for data
manipulation in R.

value of each category.
2. Line Graph: Used to visualize data trends over time, with points connected by lines.
3. Scatter Plot: Shows the relationship between two continuous variables using dots
plotted on a Cartesian plane.
4. Histogram: Represents the distribution of numerical data by dividing it into bins and
showing the frequency of data points in each bin.
5. Box Plot: Summarizes data distributions through their quartiles, highlighting the
median, range, and potential outliers.
c) Loops in R
Loops are control structures that allow repetitive execution of code blocks. Common types
include:
for Loop: Iterates over a sequence or vector. Example:
for (i in 1:5) {
print(i)
}

while Loop: Continues to execute as long as a specified condition is true. Example:


count <- 1
while (count <= 5) {
print(count)
count <- count + 1
}
repeat Loop: Repeats indefinitely until a break statement is encountered. Example:
repeat {
print("Hello")
break}
