Taking the Pragmatic Approach to Big Data Analytics - This webinar is inspired by a series of reports a research group put out. The most recent was called “Analytics: The Real-World Use of Big Data.” They published a study called Analytics: The New Path to Value. And in that study they took a high level look at the market and where organizations were placed along that maturity sophistication curve. They followed that up with a study called Analytics: The Widening Divide, and in that study they took a look at those sophistication levels and where organizations were focusing and took it a level down into the organizations themselves and how they were organizing themselves and executing an analytics within their organization. This year came Analytics: The Real-World Use of Big Data. So that’s a subset of the overall analytics market focused on the Big Data topic. Some of the questions, not all of them, but some of them, carry through from year to year. But they really try to touch on what’s most timely for executives in the business market place around the globe to focus on...

Talking About Big Data - And in that context, what we have seen more and more of our customers coming to us, talking about big data for example, where we have large volumes of data, or we have different types of data or coming in at different speeds. So I think some of our more mature customers are also focusing on what are the best practices around sampling when it comes to big data. When it comes to data visualization, what are some of best methods to use? When it comes to transformations, there are question such as how do we handle missing values? That’s from the data preparation process, and a lot of our customers are looking into some of the best practices on that end. Moderator: When you talk about sampling, I am presuming you are talking about taking a small subset of your data and creating some algorithms using the subset. Obviously if you are trying to develop an algorithm based on a megabyte of data, it's going to run a lot of faster than if you try to do that on a terabyte of data. When you do sampling, what’s a good percentage of the total? Is there a best practice there...

What Are the 5V's of Data Analytics? - The process of reviewing and analysing data in order to extract insights and make educated decisions is referred to as data analytics. It entails collecting, processing, and analysing data from multiple sources, including as databases, spreadsheets, and internet platforms, using a variety of methodologies and tools. The 5V's of Data analytics are: Velocity Volume Variety Value Veracity. Volume refers to the amount of data present in the database. The value of the data is determined by its size. When you have an enormous amount, it is considered big data. It is also relative to the computing power available. But generally, Data analytics is founded upon the presence of a large volume of data without which it is impossible to create advanced models for machine learning or AI. The tech world is progressing toward AI which requires processing, learning, and understanding huge volumes of data. Companies trying to beat their competitors must have such data to develop and use advanced analytics. The speed with which data is being accumulated and accessed refers to the Velocity. In this tech era, you can find huge amounts of data flowing in and out every day. This continuous flow of data must be quick so that it is available for businesses to use to their advantage at the right time. The market situation is highly competitive which demands creating timely strategies. This can only be possible with the help of big data...

What Are the Different Types of Data Analysis? - Descriptive Analysis Descriptive analysis is the process of using statistical techniques to describe or summarize a set of data. It is popular for its ability to generate accessible insights from otherwise uninterpreted data with simple discrete numerical answers. They are frequency, mean, median, mode, percentiles, and quartiles. 2. Diagnostic Analysis Diagnostic analysis is a form of advanced analytics that examines data or content to answer the question "why." It is performed by using human-driven techniques such as drill-down, data discovery,and data mining. It also includes making calculations using statistical software or functions for such things as correlations and trend lines. 3. Exploratory Analysis Exploratory analysis is the critical process of performing initial investigations into data to discover patterns, groupings, correlations, spot anomalies, identify outliers, develop hypotheses and test assumptions. It is entirely a human-driven visual approach...

What Are the Operations of OLAP? - OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is a multidimensional analysis and reporting technology that enables businesses to quickly analyze and explore their data. OLAP operations can be classified into two categories: Slice and Dice and Roll-up and Drill-down. Slice and Dice: "Slice and Dice" operations allow users to analyze data from different perspectives. They involve selecting a subset of data from a multidimensional dataset based on one or more criteria. The two types of "Slice and Dice" operations are: Slice: This operation involves selecting a single dimension from the OLAP cube to slice the data along that dimension. For example, a user can slice the data by selecting only the data for a particular region or time period. Dice: This operation involves selecting multiple dimensions from the OLAP cube to slice the data along those dimensions. For example, a user can dice the data by selecting only the data for a particular region and time period...

What Are the Types of Market Research That Benefit from Dashboard Analytics? - Descriptive Research: Purpose: This type aims to describe the characteristics of a population or phenomenon.

On the other hand, an operations analyst is responsible for analyzing and optimizing the operations of a company as a whole. They focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of various business processes across departments. They analyze data to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement, and make recommendations for process optimization, cost reduction, and productivity improvements...

What Is an Example of Biostatistical Analysis? - An example of biostatistical analysis is the investigation of the effectiveness of a new drug in treating a specific disease. Let's consider a hypothetical scenario: Suppose there is a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new medication intended to lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. To determine the efficacy of the drug, a biostatistician may design and conduct a clinical trial. The trial involves recruiting a group of participants with hypertension and randomly assigning them into two groups: a treatment group receiving the new drug and a control group receiving a placebo (inactive substance). The biostatistician would collect relevant data from both groups, including baseline blood pressure measurements and subsequent measurements taken over a specified period of time. The collected data would include variables such as age, gender, medical history, and any other factors that could potentially influence the results...
