Ques-Describe the characteristics of data that are relevant in the field of
data analytics. How do these characteristics impact the analysis process?
(AKTU)

Characteristics of Data in Data Analytics and Their Impact

1. Volume
Refers to the amount of data.
Data can be huge (terabytes or more).
Impact: Large data needs more storage, better tools, and powerful computers for
analysis.
2. Variety
Refers to different types of data (text, images, videos, etc.).
Structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
Impact: Different tools are needed to process each type. It increases complexity.
3. Velocity
Refers to the speed at which data is generated and processed.
Example: Social media updates or stock market data.
Impact: Fast data requires real-time or quick analysis tools.
4. Veracity
Refers to the accuracy and trustworthiness of data.
Data can be incomplete, wrong, or biased.
Impact: Poor quality data gives wrong results. Data cleaning is necessary.
5. Value
Refers to the usefulness of data.
Not all data is helpful. Only meaningful data gives insights.
Impact: Analysts focus only on valuable data to save time and get better results.
6. Variability
Refers to changes in data over time.
LePic Meaning and format of data can vary.
Impact: Makes analysis difficult. Consistency must be maintained.
7. Data Quality
Good data should be complete, correct, and consistent.
Impact: High-quality data leads to better decisions and outcomes.

Ques-Explain the concept of generalization in neural networks. How does it

relate to the trade-off between bias and variance, and what strategies can
be employed to enhance generalization performance? (AKTU)

Concept of Generalization in Neural Networks

→ Generalization means how well a neural network works on new or unseen data (not
the data it trained on).
→ A model that generalizes well gives correct answers not just on training data but also
on real-world or test data.
→ This is important because we usually use the model on new data.
Relation to Bias-Variance Trade-off

→ Bias is the error when a model is too simple and cannot learn the data properly (called
underfitting).
→ Variance is the error when a model is too complex and learns the training data too
perfectly, including noise (called overfitting).
→ A model with high bias misses patterns.
→ A model with high variance cannot handle new data well.
→ Good generalization happens when there is a balance between bias and variance.
Strategies to Improve Generalization

→ Use more training data to help the model learn better.

→ Early stopping: stop training before the model starts overfitting.
→ Regularization (like L1 or L2): adds a penalty to the model to keep it simple.
→ Dropout: randomly turn off some neurons while training to avoid overfitting.
→ Cross-validation: test the model on different parts of the data to check if it's learning
correctly.
→ Data augmentation: slightly change the data (like flipping images) to teach the
model better.
→ Use a simpler model if the problem is not very complex.

Ques-Provide a detailed explanation of how fuzzy logic is used to extract

models from data. Discuss the advantages of fuzzy modeling in capturing
LePic
uncertainty and handling imprecise information in comparison to
traditional crisp models. (AKTU)

How Fuzzy Logic is Used to Extract Models from Data

→ Fuzzy logic is a way of thinking that allows partial truth values (like 0.2, 0.5, 0.9), instead
of only true or false (0 or 1) like in traditional logic.

→ In fuzzy modeling, we use "if-then" rules to describe systems, like:

If temperature is high, then fan speed is fast.

→ These rules use fuzzy sets (e.g., “high temperature” is not a fixed number but a range
with a degree of membership).

→ When we have real-world data, fuzzy logic helps to create these rules automatically
by looking at the patterns in the data.

→ A fuzzy model is built by:

1. Fuzzifying the input – converting real data into fuzzy values (like "low", "medium", "high").
2. Creating rules based on patterns in the data.
3. Applying fuzzy inference to process the rules.
4. Defuzzifying the output – converting fuzzy result back into a crisp number.

→ This process helps to model systems where it’s hard to define exact rules due to
complexity or unclear boundaries.

Advantages of Fuzzy Modeling Over Traditional Crisp Models

→ Handles Uncertainty:
Fuzzy models can manage uncertainty in data, such as noisy, incomplete, or vague
information.

→ Works with Imprecise Inputs:

Instead of needing exact numbers, fuzzy logic allows inputs like “almost high” or
“somewhat low.”

→ Human-like Reasoning:
Fuzzy logic models behave more like humans who use terms like "warm" or "fast" instead
of exact values.

→ Simple Rule-Based Approach:

Fuzzy systems use understandable “if-then” rules which are easy to interpret and explain.

→ Better for Real-World Problems:

Real-life problems often have gray areas, not black-and-white situations. Fuzzy models
handle these better than crisp ones.

→ No Need for Precise Mathematical Models:

Fuzzy modeling can work even when we don’t fully know the equations of the system.
LePic
Comparison with Traditional Crisp Models

Feature Fuzzy Model Traditional Crisp Model

Input Type Imprecise, vague Precise, exact

Logic Used Partial (0 to 1) Binary (0 or 1)

Flexibility High Low

Real-life Use More natural Less realistic in uncertain

Handling Noise Strong Weak

Ques-In the context of stream data, explain different approaches for

counting distinct elements. How do these methods address challenges
associated with continuously changing data? (AKTU)

What is Stream Data?

→ Stream data means data that is continuously coming in, like messages on WhatsApp,
live sensors, or social media feeds.
→ We cannot store all the data because it’s too fast and too big.
→ So, we need smart ways to count distinct elements (like how many different users sent
messages) without storing everything.

Approaches for Counting Distinct Elements in Stream Data

→ 1. Exact Counting (using Hash Sets or Hash Tables)

→ Store each unique element in a hash set.
→ At the end, count the number of items in the set.
Problem:
→ Needs a lot of memory when the data is large.
→ Not good for fast and continuous data streams.

→ 2. Sampling-Based Methods
→ Take a small sample from the stream instead of using the whole data.
→ Estimate the number of distinct elements based on the sample.
LePic
Advantage:
→ Saves memory and time.
Limitation:
→ Only gives an approximate answer, not 100% correct.
→ 3. Hashing with Bitmaps (Flajolet-Martin Algorithm)
→ Use hash functions to map elements to a binary pattern (like 0001, 0100).
→ Count the position of the first 1 in the hashed result.
→ Use that position to estimate the number of distinct elements.
Advantage:
→ Uses very little memory.
→ Works well on large data streams.
Limitation:
→ Approximate result, not exact.
→ 4. HyperLogLog Algorithm
→ An improved version of Flajolet-Martin.
→ Uses many hash functions and registers to get a better estimate.
→ Combines the results for high accuracy.
Advantage:
→Very accurate with small memory usage.
→Used in real systems (like by Google and Facebook).
Limitation:
→More complex to implement.

How These Methods Handle Challenges of Stream Data

→ Limited Memory:
Approximate methods (like HyperLogLog) use very little space.

→ Speed:
These algorithms are fast and don’t need to store all elements.

→ Changing Data:
They update estimates as new data comes in, so they handle live changes easily.

→ Scalability:
They work well even if the data grows huge, like millions of users.

Ques-Describe the concept of counting uniqueness in a window in the

context of stream processing. How does this relate to measuring the
LePic
frequency and uniqueness of elements within a specified time frame?
(AKTU)

Concept of Counting Uniqueness in a Window (Stream Processing)

→ Stream processing means analyzing data that comes in continuously, like messages,
clicks, or sensor readings.

→ Window means a limited time frame or range (for example, last 1 minute, or last 100
elements).
→ In this window, we only look at data that falls within that specific time or size.
→ Counting uniqueness means finding out how many different (unique) elements
appeared in that window.
For example:
If the window contains: [A, B, A, C] → unique elements are A, B, and C → count = 3.
Types of Windows

→ Tumbling Window:
Fixed size, non-overlapping. Example: every 1 minute.

→ Sliding Window:
Fixed size, but moves forward in steps (overlapping). Example: every 30 seconds, check
last 1 minute.

→ Count-based Window:
Instead of time, based on number of elements. Example: check every 100 messages.

Relation to Frequency and Uniqueness

→ Frequency = How many times an element appears in a window.

Example: In [A, A, B, C], frequency of A = 2.

→ Uniqueness = Count of different elements in the window.

In the same example: unique elements = A, B, C → count = 3.

→ By measuring both, we understand:

- Which elements are common (high frequency)
- How diverse the data is (high uniqueness)

Why It’s Useful in Real-Time Analysis

→ Helps detect trends or anomalies.

Example: sudden drop in uniqueness may mean spam or attack.

→ Helps in user behavior analysis, like how many different users visited a site in the last 5
minutes.
LePic
→ Useful in network monitoring, fraud detection, and recommendation systems.

Ques-Explain the process model and computation model for Big data
platform. (AKTU)

→ Process Model in Big Data Platform

The process model shows how big data is handled step by step — from collection to final
result.

→ 1. Data Collection
Data comes from different sources like websites, sensors, social media, etc.
Can be structured (tables), semi-structured (XML/JSON), or unstructured (text, images).

→ 2. Data Storage
Data is stored in big storage systems like HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) or
cloud storage.
Data is stored across many machines for fault tolerance.

→ 3. Data Processing
The collected data is processed using tools like MapReduce, Apache Spark, etc.
Processing can be batch (large data at once) or real-time (as it comes in).

→ 4. Data Analysis
Data is analyzed using statistical methods, machine learning, or data mining.
Tools like Hive, Pig, Spark MLlib are used.

→ 5. Visualization & Reporting

Results are shown using dashboards, graphs, or reports for decision-making.
Tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Kibana are used.

→ Computation Model in Big Data Platform

The computation model explains how data is processed internally across multiple
systems.

→ 1. Batch Processing Model

Processes large blocks of data at once.
Example: Hadoop MapReduce.
→ Good for processing big historical data.
→ Slower, not for real-time use.

→ 2. Stream (Real-Time) Processing Model

Processes data as it arrives (event-by-event).
Examples: Apache Storm, Apache Flink, Apache Spark Streaming.
→ Good for live data like stock prices, logs, etc.
LePic
→ 3. DAG-Based (Directed Acyclic Graph) Model
Used by tools like Apache Spark.
Each task is a node in a graph.
→ Allows better optimization and fault recovery.

→ 4. In-Memory Computation
Keeps data in RAM instead of reading from disk.
Example: Apache Spark.
→ Much faster than disk-based systems like MapReduce.

→ 5. Parallel and Distributed Computing

Big data is split into parts and processed on many machines at the same time.
→ Helps to handle very large data quickly and efficiently.

Ques-Explain the architecture of data stream model. (AKTU)

LePic

Architecture of Data Stream Model

This architecture is used to process continuous, fast, and large volumes of data in real
time.

1. Streams Entering

These are continuous data inputs coming into the system.

Examples of input streams:
Numeric stream: 1, 5, 2, 7, 4, 0, 3, 5
Character stream: q, w, e, r, t, y, u, i, o
Binary stream: 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0
These streams keep arriving over time and cannot be fully stored before processing.

2. Stream Processor

The core component that processes the incoming data.

Responsibilities:
Continuously accepts and processes multiple data streams.
Applies queries (both standing and ad-hoc).
LePic Generates output streams based on the processed data.
Works with two types of memory:
Limited Working Storage
Archival Storage

3. Standing Queries

These are predefined queries that are always active inside the system.
They automatically process the incoming data in real time.
Used for ongoing tasks such as counting, filtering, or aggregating data.
For example, a standing query might track how many times a specific number
appears.

4. Ad-hoc Queries

These are queries that are added by users manually when needed.
Not always running like standing queries.
Used for specific analysis tasks, often involving recent or historical data.
For example, a user might ask: "What was the average of the last 100 values?"

5. Output Streams

The results generated by the stream processor after processing the input.
These can be real-time summaries, alerts, filtered data, or analytics.
The output is continuously updated as new data arrives.

6. Limited Working Storage

Temporary, small storage space used for keeping recent data.

Because the stream is infinite, the system cannot store all of it.
Stores only the data that is needed for immediate processing.
Useful for responding quickly to queries about recent events.

7. Archival Storage

Permanent, large storage for saving historical data.

Stores data that is no longer in the working memory.
Helps in answering queries about past events or trends.
Used when the user runs ad-hoc queries that need access to older data.

How These Components Work Together

Input data streams enter the stream processor.

The processor uses standing queries to analyze the data in real time.
Users can submit ad-hoc queries to get specific information.
Recent data is stored in limited working storage for fast access.
Old data is moved to archival storage for long-term use.
The results are sent out as output streams.

Ques-Illustrate the K-means algorithm in detail with its advantages

(AKTU)

K-means Clustering

Introduction

K-means is a popular unsupervised machine learning algorithm used for clustering

data into K groups based on their similarities. It is widely used in data mining, pattern
recognition, and image analysis.

The goal of K-means is to partition the dataset into K clusters such that:

Each data point belongs to the cluster with the nearest mean.
The intra-cluster variance (within the same group) is minimized.
The inter-cluster variance (between different groups) is maximized.

Features of K-means Clustering

→ Unsupervised learning
It does not require labeled data; it groups data based solely on patterns.

→ Centroid-based algorithm
Each cluster is defined by the centroid (mean) of the data points in the cluster.
LePic
→ Iterative refinement
K-means repeatedly updates cluster assignments and centroids until convergence.

→ Distance measure used

Usually uses Euclidean distance to determine similarity between data points and
centroids.

→ Scalability
K-means is highly scalable and works well with large datasets.

→ Speed and efficiency

The algorithm is computationally efficient due to its simple steps and linear complexity.

→ Applicability
Used in a wide variety of domains such as marketing, biology, image segmentation, and
more.

Important Points to Remember

→ K must be defined beforehand

The number of clusters (K) needs to be chosen in advance. This can be done using
techniques like the Elbow Method or Silhouette Score.

→ Sensitive to initial centroids

Different initial centroids can lead to different final clusters (local minima issue).

→ Clusters formed are convex

K-means assumes clusters are spherical and equally sized, which may not always be
true.

→ Not suitable for non-linear data

K-means cannot handle complex cluster shapes or outliers effectively.

→ Assumes numerical data

The algorithm assumes features are numerical and comparable using Euclidean
distance.

Working of the K-means Algorithm

The K-means algorithm follows these steps:

→ Step 1: Choose the number of clusters (K)

Decide how many groups the data should be divided into.

→ Step 2: Initialize centroids

Randomly select K data points from the dataset as the initial cluster centers.

→ Step 3: Assign each point to the nearest centroid

Measure the distance from each data point to all centroids, and assign it to the nearest
LePic
one.

→ Step 4: Update the centroids

Recalculate the centroids by taking the mean of all data points assigned to each cluster.

→ Step 5: Repeat Steps 3 and 4

Continue reassigning points and updating centroids until:

The centroids no longer move (i.e., converge), or

A maximum number of iterations is reached.

→ Step 6: Return the final clusters

Output the final cluster assignments and the centroid positions.

Advantages of K-means Algorithm

→ Simple and easy to understand

Its concept is straightforward and intuitive for beginners.

→ Fast and efficient

It performs well on large datasets due to its linear time complexity.

→ Guaranteed convergence
Although it may converge to a local minimum, it will always converge in finite steps.

→ Works well when clusters are well-separated

It performs best when the data naturally forms distinct clusters.

→ Useful in many real-world applications

It is widely used for market segmentation, social network analysis, image compression,
etc.

→ Can be improved using K-means++

A better initialization strategy that reduces the chance of poor clustering.

Ques-Explain multivariate analysis and Bayesian network. (AKTU)

Multivariate Analysis

Multivariate Analysis refers to a set of statistical techniques used to analyze data that
involves multiple variables simultaneously. It aims to understand the relationships
between variables and how they interact with each other.

Key Features:

→ Involves more than one dependent or independent variable

Multivariate analysis is used when the data has multiple dimensions or variables.

→ Reveals patterns and relationships

Helps in identifying correlations, trends, clusters, and dependencies in data.

→ Reduces dimensionality
Techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) help in reducing the number of
variables while retaining important information.

→ Improves decision-making
By analyzing multiple factors together, it supports better, data-driven decisions.

Common Multivariate Analysis Techniques:

→ Multiple Regression Analysis

Examines the relationship between one dependent variable and several independent
variables.

→ Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

Reduces dimensionality by transforming variables into a set of uncorrelated
components.

→ Factor Analysis
Identifies underlying factors that explain the correlations among variables.

→ Cluster Analysis
Groups similar observations into clusters based on their characteristics.

→ Discriminant Analysis
Classifies data into categories based on predictor variables.

Applications:
LePic
→ Market research
→ Medical diagnosis
→ Financial modeling
→ Image and speech recognition
→ Social science research
Bayesian Network

A Bayesian Network (also known as a Belief Network) is a probabilistic graphical model

that represents a set of variables and their conditional dependencies using a directed
acyclic graph (DAG).

Key Features

→ Nodes represent random variables

Each node stands for a variable (e.g., weather, disease, test result).

→ Edges represent dependencies

Directed edges show the probabilistic influence of one variable on another.

→ Uses Bayes' Theorem

It calculates posterior probabilities using prior knowledge and observed data.

→ Captures uncertainty
Bayesian networks handle uncertain or incomplete data effectively.

How It Works:

→ Each variable (node) has a Conditional Probability Table (CPT)

It defines the probability of that variable given its parent nodes.

→ Inference is made by updating beliefs

When new evidence is observed, probabilities are updated using Bayes' theorem.

Example:

A simple Bayesian network to diagnose flu:

Nodes: Fever, Cough, Flu

Edges: Flu →Fever, Flu →Cough
This shows that the presence of flu influences the probability of fever and cough.

Applications:

→ Medical diagnosis
→ Spam filtering
→ Fault detection
→ Risk analysis
→ Natural language processing
LePic
Comparison with Traditional Models:

→ Unlike classical models, Bayesian networks can model causal relationships and
update beliefs based on new evidence.

Ques-Why PCY algorithm is preferred over Apriori algorithm? (AKTU)

1. Background:

→ Apriori Algorithm is a classical algorithm used for frequent itemset mining and
association rule learning in large datasets.
→ It generates candidate itemsets and prunes those that do not meet the minimum
support threshold using the Apriori property (all subsets of a frequent itemset must also
be frequent).

→ PCY Algorithm is an improved version of Apriori that focuses on reducing the number
of candidate itemsets and memory usage during the generation of frequent pairs.

2. Limitations of Apriori Algorithm:

→ Generates too many candidate pairs in the second pass, leading to high memory
usage.
→ Performs multiple passes over the database.
→ Time and space complexity increases rapidly with the number of items.
3. How PCY Improves Apriori:

The PCY algorithm introduces hashing and bitmap filtering in the second pass to reduce
the number of candidate pairs stored in memory.

4. Key Reasons PCY is Preferred Over Apriori:

→ Efficient Memory Usage

PCY uses a hash table to count occurrences of item pairs during the first pass.
→ If a bucket in the hash table exceeds the support threshold, it is marked in a bitmap (1
= frequent, 0 = not frequent).
→ This way, infrequent pairs can be filtered early, avoiding unnecessary storage and
computation.

→ Reduces Candidate Generation

PCY avoids generating candidate pairs that fall into infrequent hash buckets, unlike
Apriori which generates all possible pairs.

→ Faster Performance
Fewer candidate itemsets lead to less time spent scanning the database and faster
support counting.
LePic
→ Scalable for Large Datasets
Because it consumes less memory and processes fewer candidate pairs, PCY is more
scalable for datasets with many items and transactions.

Example Difference:

→ Suppose we have 1,000 frequent items.

Apriori would generate ~500,000 candidate pairs (using combinations).
PCY would use a hash function to reduce the number of these pairs significantly
before counting their actual support.

Ques-Explain Datar-Gionis-Indyk-Motwani (DGIM) algorithm for counting

oneness in a window. (AKTU)

DGIM Algorithm (Datar–Gionis–Indyk–Motwani)

1. Problem Statement

Suppose you have a binary data stream (sequence of 0s and 1s) arriving continuously,
and you want to efficiently count the number of 1s in the last k bits (a sliding window of
size k).

Challenge: Storing the entire window uses too much space.

Goal: Count 1s approximately using logarithmic space, with guaranteed error bounds.

2. DGIM Algorithm – Key Idea

→ Instead of storing every bit, the DGIM algorithm stores summarized information using
buckets.
→ Each bucket contains a timestamp and a count of 1s it represents.
→ The algorithm approximates the number of 1s using a small number of buckets, with a
maximum error of 50% for the last bucket only.

3. Bucket Properties

→ Buckets store only 1s.

→ The number of 1s in a bucket is always a power of 2: 1, 2, 4, 8, …
→ For each power of 2, there can be at most two buckets.
4. Working of the Algorithm

Step 1: Initialize an empty list of buckets.

Step 2: Process the stream bit by bit (right to left)

→ If the incoming bit is 0

Do nothing.
LePic
→ If the incoming bit is 1
Create a new bucket of size 1 with a timestamp (position in stream).
If there are more than two buckets of the same size, merge the two oldest into one of
double the size.

Step 3: At any point, to estimate the count of 1s in the last k bits:

→ Traverse the buckets from newest to oldest.

→ Add the sizes of buckets whose timestamps fall within the window.
→ For the last bucket that only partially overlaps, add half its size (as an upper-bound
estimate).

5. Example

Let the data stream be:

... 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 (last 10 bits)

→ Buckets might look like:

One bucket of size 4 (covering 4 recent 1s)
Two buckets of size 2
One bucket of size 1

To estimate the number of 1s in the last k bits:

→ Add bucket sizes = 2 + 2 + 1 + (½ × 4) = 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 7 (approx.)
6. Advantages

→ Efficient memory usage: Uses O(log² N) space for a window of size N.

→ Fast update and query: Both insertion and counting are efficient.
→ Bounded error: The estimation error is within 50% of the last bucket.
7. Applications

→ Network traffic monitoring

→ Clickstream analysis
→ Real-time data mining
→ Counting events in time-based windows

Handling of Challenges

1. Noise and Outliers

→ CLIQUE
→ Discards sparse grid cells, making it very robust to noise and outliers.
→Since it’s density-based, isolated points do not form clusters.
→ ProCLUS
→ Less robust than CLIQUE; some outliers may be included in clusters if they are close to
medoids.
→ Uses medoid selection to minimize this effect, but still not ideal for noisy data.
2. Varying Cluster Shapes

→ CLIQUE
→ Can detect arbitrarily shaped clusters, as it is grid and density-based.
→Does not assume any cluster shape.
→ ProCLUS
→ Best suited for spherical or convex clusters, similar to k-medoids.
→ Struggles with non-globular or irregular cluster shapes.
3. High Dimensionality / Subspaces

→ CLIQUE
→ Efficiently identifies dense regions in multiple subspaces without checking all
combinations.
→Bottom-up pruning avoids unnecessary computations.
→ ProCLUS
→ Projects each cluster into its own relevant subspace, reducing the curse of
dimensionality.
→ Learns relevant dimensions per cluster dynamically.

1. Introduction

→ Support Vector Machines (SVM) are supervised learning models used for

Ques-In the context of stream data, explain different approaches for
counting distinct elements. How do these methods address challenges
associated with continuously changing data? (AKTU)

Counting Distinct Elements in Stream Data

1. Introduction

→ In data stream environments, data arrives continuously at high speed and in large
volumes.
→ A common task is to count the number of unique (distinct) elements in the stream.
→ Traditional methods fail due to limitations like:
→ Limited memory availability
→ Inability to store or revisit past data
→ Requirement for real-time processing
2. Approaches for Counting Distinct Elements

A. Naive Approach (Exact Counting)

→ Maintains a hash table or set containing all unique elements encountered.

→ Every new element is checked and stored if not already present.
Limitations:
→ Requires memory proportional to the number of distinct elements (O(n)).
→ Not scalable for high-speed or unbounded data streams.
B. Approximate and Probabilistic Methods

→ These methods estimate the count of distinct elements using hashing and compact
data structures.

1. Flajolet-Martin Algorithm (FM)

→ Hashes each element and examines the position of the rightmost 1-bit in the hash.
→ Keeps track of the maximum number of trailing zeros among all hashes.
→ Uses this to estimate the number of distinct elements.
Advantages:
→Space-efficient
→Suitable for streaming environments

Disadvantages:
→ Can have high variance; typically used with multiple hash functions to improve
accuracy

2. HyperLogLog
LePic
→ Enhanced version of Flajolet-Martin that divides data into multiple buckets.
→ Each bucket tracks the maximum trailing zeros separately.
→ Averages over all buckets to get the final estimate.
Advantages:
→ Very low memory usage
→ High accuracy
→ Widely adopted in practice (used by Redis, Google BigQuery)
3. Linear Counting

→ Uses a bit array where each element is hashed to a specific bit position.
→ The number of unset bits (zeros) is used to estimate how many distinct elements have
been seen.

Advantages:
→ Simple and efficient for relatively small cardinalities
Limitations:
→ Accuracy decreases when many bits in the array are set (saturation)

C. Sketch-Based Methods

Count-Min Sketch with Distinct Counting Variants

→ Designed primarily for frequency estimation, but can be combined with methods like
MinHash to estimate distinct counts.
→ Uses multiple hash functions and a 2D array of counters.
Advantages:
→ Space- and time-efficient
→ Suitable for distributed streaming systems
D. Sliding Window Models

→ In many applications, it is necessary to count distinct elements only within the most
recent window of time or data.

DGIM (Datar–Gionis–Indyk–Motwani) Algorithm

→ Initially designed to count the number of 1s in the last k bits of a binary stream.
→ Uses exponentially increasing bucket sizes to summarize the stream compactly.
→ Can be adapted for distinct element estimation over sliding windows.
Advantages:
→ Supports window-based analysis
→ Uses logarithmic memory with respect to the window size

Ques-Explore the challenges and considerations when performing
clustering in non-Euclidean spaces. How do distance metrics and
similarity measures differ in non-Euclidean environments, and what
impact does this have on clustering outcomes? (AKTU)

Clustering in Non-Euclidean Spaces

1. Introduction

→ Clustering is a fundamental task in data mining and machine learning, aiming to group
similar data points.
→ Many traditional clustering algorithms (e.g., K-means) assume that the data lies in a
Euclidean space, where distances are calculated using the Euclidean distance.
→ However, in many real-world scenarios (e.g., graphs, text, biological sequences), the
data may exist in a non-Euclidean space, where Euclidean assumptions do not hold.

2. What is a Non-Euclidean Space?

→ A non-Euclidean space is one where the geometry does not follow Euclidean
principles, such as the Pythagorean theorem.
→ Common examples include:
→ Graphs and networks
→ Manifolds
→ Discrete structures (e.g., strings, trees, sequences)
→ High-dimensional and sparse data (e.g., text data with cosine similarity)
3. Challenges in Non-Euclidean Clustering

A. Choice of Distance/Similarity Measure

→ Euclidean distance may not be meaningful in non-Euclidean data.

→ Alternative measures must be chosen based on the data type and application.
Examples:
→ Cosine similarity for text or document data
→ Edit distance (Levenshtein) for strings
→ Graph distance for network nodes
→ Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for time series
B. Violation of Metric Properties

→ Many similarity measures in non-Euclidean spaces do not satisfy metric properties

(e.g., triangle inequality, symmetry).
→ Algorithms like K-means, which rely on centroids and metric space properties, may fail
or give misleading results.

C. Inapplicability of Centroids
LePic
→ In spaces like graphs or sequences, the concept of a mean or centroid is not well-
defined.
→ Algorithms relying on centroid computation (e.g., K-means) are unsuitable without
adaptation.

D. Curse of Dimensionality

→ In high-dimensional non-Euclidean spaces (e.g., text, gene data), distance measures

tend to lose discriminatory power.
→ All points may appear to be at a similar distance, leading to poor clustering quality.
E. Visualization and Interpretation

→ Non-Euclidean spaces are harder to visualize.

→ Interpretation of clusters and distances may become non-intuitive.
4. Considerations in Choosing Distance/Similarity Measures

A. Data Type Awareness

→ Choose distance measures tailored to the data type:

→→ Use cosine similarity for sparse vectors
→→ Use Jaccard distance for set-based data
→→ Use graph-based measures for networked data
B. Metric vs. Non-Metric Spaces

→ Ensure that chosen distance measures satisfy at least some metric properties when
possible.
→ In non-metric scenarios, consider kernel methods or embedding techniques.
C. Computational Complexity

→ Non-Euclidean distance computations (e.g., edit distance, DTW) can be expensive.

→ Clustering algorithms may need to be adapted for performance.
5. Impact on Clustering Algorithms

A. K-means

→ Performs poorly in non-Euclidean spaces due to reliance on arithmetic mean and

Euclidean distance.
→ Use alternatives like K-medoids or DBSCAN which are less dependent on Euclidean
geometry.

B. K-medoids (PAM, CLARANS)

→ Selects actual data points (medoids) instead of calculating means.

→ Can be used with any distance metric, making it suitable for non-Euclidean spaces.
LePic
C. DBSCAN and Density-Based Methods

→ Do not assume any geometry; based on density estimation using arbitrary distance
measures.
→ Suitable for irregular-shaped clusters and non-Euclidean data.
D. Spectral Clustering

→ Uses graph representations and eigenvalue decomposition.

→ Converts similarity matrix into a lower-dimensional space for clustering.
→ Particularly effective for graph and manifold-structured data.

Ques-Discuss the case study of stock market predictions in detail. (AKTU)

Case Study: Stock Market Prediction

1. Introduction

→ The stock market is a dynamic financial environment where investors buy and sell
shares of companies.
→ Predicting stock prices or movements has long been a critical and complex task due to
market volatility and numerous influencing factors.
→ This case study explores the use of data science, machine learning, and deep
learning techniques to predict stock prices or trends.

2. Objectives of the Study

→ To predict future stock prices or trends using historical data.

→ To analyze the performance of different prediction models.
→ To compare statistical methods vs machine learning/deep learning techniques.
→ To identify key features affecting stock prices such as volume, moving averages, news
sentiment, etc.

3. Data Collection
LePic
→ Source: Historical stock data from sources like Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, Alpha
Vantage, Quandl, etc.
→ Attributes collected:
→ Open, High, Low, Close Prices (OHLC)
→ Volume
→ Moving Averages (SMA, EMA)
→ Technical Indicators (RSI, MACD)
→ News sentiment (optional for hybrid models)
4. Data Preprocessing

→ Handling missing values

→ Feature engineering: Calculating new attributes like moving averages, lag variables,
returns, volatility
→ Normalization or scaling of data
→ Splitting data into training and testing sets
→ Time-series formatting: Using windows or sequences of previous values as input for
prediction models

5. Models Used

A. Traditional Statistical Models

1. ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average)

→ Used for univariate time-series forecasting.

→ Assumes stationarity in the time-series.
→ Parameters: p (autoregressive), d (differencing), q (moving average)
Limitations:
→ Cannot handle non-linear relationships
→ Requires manual tuning and assumption checking

B. Machine Learning Models

1. Linear Regression

→ Simple model assuming linear relationship between features and stock price.
→ Performs poorly with complex time-series data.
2. Random Forest Regression

→ An ensemble of decision trees to capture non-linear relationships.

→ Handles feature importance well but may not capture time-dependence effectively.
3. Support Vector Regression (SVR)

→ Effective for non-linear regression with kernel tricks.

→ Suitable for medium-sized datasets.
LePic
C. Deep Learning Models

1. LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory)

→ A special type of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that captures long-term

dependencies in time-series data.
→ Input: sequences of past data (e.g., 60 previous days)
→ Output: next day’s price or trend
Advantages:
→ Captures temporal patterns
→ Deals well with sequential data
2. GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit)

→ Similar to LSTM with fewer parameters

→ Faster training and comparable accuracy
6. Evaluation Metrics

→ MAE (Mean Absolute Error)

→ RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)
→ MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error)
→ Accuracy (for classification-based trend prediction)
→ R-squared (for regression performance)
7. Key Findings

→ ARIMA works well for short-term, linear patterns but fails on sudden shocks or non-
linear changes.
→ Random Forest and SVR offer better performance than linear models but need careful
feature selection.
→ LSTM models outperform others in capturing sequential patterns, especially with
sufficient historical data.
→ Hybrid models (e.g., LSTM + sentiment analysis) improve performance when
combined with external signals like news or macroeconomic indicators.

8. Challenges in Stock Market Prediction

→ High volatility and noise in financial data

→ External events (e.g., economic reports, geopolitical changes) not captured by
historical prices
→ Overfitting due to limited training data
→ Delayed reaction to news in market prices
→ Non-stationarity of time series
9. Real-World Applications
LePic
→ Automated trading systems (Algo-Trading)
→ Stock screening and portfolio management
→ Financial risk analysis
→ Investor decision support systems

Ques-What is Prediction error ? With the help of suitable example explain

prediction error in classification and regression.(AKTU)

Prediction Error

1. Definition

→ Prediction error is the difference between the actual (true) value and the predicted
value made by a machine learning model.
→ It helps assess how accurately a model performs on unseen data.
→ A lower prediction error indicates better model performance.
2. Types of Prediction Errors

→ Regression Prediction Error → Difference between actual and predicted continuous

values
→ Classification Prediction Error → Incorrect class labels assigned by the model
3. Prediction Error in Regression

Explanation:

→ In regression, the model predicts a continuous numeric value.

→ The prediction error is calculated as:
→→ Error = Actual Value − Predicted Value
→ Common metrics used:
→→ MAE (Mean Absolute Error)
→→ MSE (Mean Squared Error)
→→ RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)
Example:

Suppose you're predicting the price of a house.

LePic
House Actual Price (in ₹ Predicted Price (in Error
lakhs) ₹ lakhs)

A 75 70 5

B 60 62 -2

C 90 85 5

→ These differences (errors) are then used to calculate overall performance.

4. Prediction Error in Classification

Explanation:

→ In classification, the model predicts discrete class labels (e.g., "Yes" or "No").
→ The prediction error is the count or proportion of misclassified instances.
→ Common metrics:
→→ Accuracy = (Correct Predictions / Total Predictions)
→→ Error Rate = (Incorrect Predictions / Total Predictions)
→→ Also evaluated using Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall, and F1 Score
Example:

Suppose you're predicting whether a student will pass or fail.

Student Actual Outcome Predicted Error

Outcome

1 Pass Pass No Error

2 Fail Pass Misclassified

3 Pass Fail Misclassified

→ Out of 3 predictions, 2 are incorrect → Error Rate = 2 / 3 = 66.7%
