Getting To Know Your Data 22 Data Objects & Attribute Types Basic Statistical Descriptions of Data Measuring Data Similarity and Dissimilarity Data Visualization
23
23 1. Types of Data Sets Record Relational records Data matrix, e.g., numerical matrix, crosstabs Document data: text documents: term- frequency vector Transaction data Graph and network World Wide Web Social or information networks Molecular Structures Ordered Video data: sequence of images Temporal data: time-series Sequential Data: transaction sequences Genetic sequence data Spatial, image and multimedia: Spatial data: maps Image data: Video data:
24
24 1. Important Characteristics of Structured Data Dimensionality Curse of dimensionality Sparsity Only presence counts Resolution Patterns depend on the scale Distribution Centrality and dispersion
25
25 1. Data Objects Data sets are made up of data objects. A data object represents an entity. Examples: sales database: customers, store items, sales medical database: patients, treatments university database: students, professors, courses Also called samples, examples, instances, data points, objects, tuples. Data objects are described by attributes. Database rows -> data objects; columns ->attributes.
26
26 1. Attributes Attribute (or dimensions, features, variables): a data field, representing a characteristic or feature of a data object. E.g., customer _ID, name, address Types: Nominal Binary Numeric: quantitative Interval-scaled Ratio-scaled
27
27 1. Attribute Types Nominal: categories, states, or “names of things” Hair_color = {auburn, black, blond, brown, grey, red, white} marital status, occupation, ID numbers, zip codes Binary Nominal attribute with only 2 states (0 and 1) Symmetric binary: both outcomes equally important e.g., gender Asymmetric binary: outcomes not equally important. e.g., medical test (positive vs. negative) Convention: assign 1 to most important outcome (e.g., HIV positive) Ordinal Values have a meaningful order (ranking) but magnitude between successive values is not known. Size = {small, medium, large}, grades, army rankings
28
28 1. Numeric Attribute Types Quantity (integer or real-valued) Interval Measured on a scale of equal-sized units Values have order E.g., temperature in C˚or F˚, calendar dates No true zero-point Ratio Inherent zero-point We can speak of values as being an order of magnitude larger than the unit of measurement (10 K˚ is twice as high as 5 K˚). e.g., temperature in Kelvin, length, counts, monetary quantities
29
29 1. Discrete vs. Continuous Attributes Discrete Attribute Has only a finite or countably infinite set of values E.g., zip codes, profession, or the set of words in a collection of documents Sometimes, represented as integer variables Note: Binary attributes are a special case of discrete attributes Continuous Attribute Has real numbers as attribute values E.g., temperature, height, or weight Practically, real values can only be measured and represented using a finite number of digits Continuous attributes are typically represented as floating-point variables
30
30 2. Basic Statistical Descriptions of Data Motivation To better understand the data: central tendency, variation and spread Data dispersion characteristics median, max, min, quantiles, outliers, variance, etc. Numerical dimensions correspond to sorted intervals Data dispersion: analyzed with multiple granularities of precision Boxplot or quantile analysis on sorted intervals Dispersion analysis on computed measures Folding measures into numerical dimensions Boxplot or quantile analysis on the transformed cube
31
31 2. Measuring the Central Tendency Mean (algebraic measure) (sample vs. population): Note: n is sample size and N is population size. Weighted arithmetic mean: Trimmed mean: chopping extreme values Median: Middle value if odd number of values, or average of the middle two values otherwise Estimated by interpolation (for grouped data): Mode Value that occurs most frequently in the data Unimodal, bimodal, trimodal Empirical formula:
32
32 Median, mean and mode of symmetric, positively and negatively skewed data positively skewednegatively skewed symmetric 2. Symmetric vs. Skewed Data 2. Symmetric vs. Skewed Data
33
33 2. Measuring the Dispersion of Data Quartiles, outliers and boxplots Quartiles: Q 1 (25 th percentile), Q 3 (75 th percentile) Inter-quartile range: IQR = Q 3 – Q 1 Five number summary: min, Q 1, median, Q 3, max Boxplot: ends of the box are the quartiles; median is marked; add whiskers, and plot outliers individually Outlier: usually, a value higher/lower than 1.5 x IQR Variance and standard deviation (sample: s, population: σ) Variance: (algebraic, scalable computation) Standard deviation s (or σ) is the square root of variance s 2 ( or σ 2)
34
34 2. Boxplot Analysis 2. Boxplot Analysis Five-number summary of a distribution Minimum, Q1, Median, Q3, Maximum Boxplot Data is represented with a box The ends of the box are at the first and third quartiles, i.e., the height of the box is IQR The median is marked by a line within the box Whiskers: two lines outside the box extended to Minimum and Maximum Outliers: points beyond a specified outlier threshold, plotted individually
35
35 2. Properties of Normal Distribution Curve The normal (distribution) curve From μ–σ to μ+σ: contains about 68% of the measurements (μ: mean, σ: standard deviation) From μ–2σ to μ+2σ: contains about 95% of it From μ–3σ to μ+3σ: contains about 99.7% of it
36
36 2. Graphic Displays of Basic Statistical Descriptions Boxplot: graphic display of five-number summary Histogram: x-axis are values, y-axis represent frequencies Quantile plot: each value x i is paired with f i indicating that approximately 100 f i % of data are x i Quantile-quantile (q-q) plot: graphs the quantiles of one univariant distribution against the corresponding quantiles of another Scatter plot: each pair of values is a pair of coordinates and plotted as points in the plane
37
37 2. Histogram Analysis Histogram: Graph display of tabulated frequencies, shown as bars It shows what proportion of cases fall into each of several categories Differs from a bar chart in that it is the area of the bar that denotes the value, not the height as in bar charts, a crucial distinction when the categories are not of uniform width The categories are usually specified as non-overlapping intervals of some variable. The categories (bars) must be adjacent
38
38 2. Histograms Often Tell More than Boxplots The two histograms shown in the left may have the same boxplot representation The same values for: min, Q1, median, Q3, max But they have rather different data distributions
39
39 2. Quantile Plot Displays all of the data (allowing the user to assess both the overall behavior and unusual occurrences) Plots quantile information For a data x i data sorted in increasing order, f i indicates that approximately 100 f i % of the data are below or equal to the value x i
40
40 2. Quantile-Quantile (Q-Q) Plot Graphs the quantiles of one univariate distribution against the corresponding quantiles of another View: Is there is a shift in going from one distribution to another? Example shows unit price of items sold at Branch 1 vs. Branch 2 for each quantile. Unit prices of items sold at Branch 1 tend to be lower than those at Branch 2.
41
41 2. Scatter plot Provides a first look at bivariate data to see clusters of points, outliers, etc. Each pair of values is treated as a pair of coordinates and plotted as points in the plane
42
42 2. Positively and Negatively Correlated Data The left half fragment is positively correlated The right half is negative correlated
43
43 2. Uncorrelated Data 2. Uncorrelated Data
44
44 3. Similarity and Dissimilarity Similarity Numerical measure of how alike two data objects are Value is higher when objects are more alike Often falls in the range [0,1] Dissimilarity (e.g., distance) Numerical measure of how different two data objects are Lower when objects are more alike Minimum dissimilarity is often 0 Upper limit varies Proximity refers to a similarity or dissimilarity
45
45 3. Data Matrix and Dissimilarity Matrix Data matrix n data points with p dimensions Two modes Dissimilarity matrix n data points, but registers only the distance A triangular matrix Single mode
46
46 3. Proximity Measure for Nominal Attributes Can take 2 or more states, e.g., red, yellow, blue, green (generalization of a binary attribute) Method 1: Simple matching m: # of matches, p: total # of variables Method 2: Use a large number of binary attributes Creating a new binary attribute for each of the M nominal states
47
47 3. Proximity Measure for Binary Attributes A contingency table for binary data Distance measure for symmetric binary variables: Distance measure for asymmetric binary variables: Jaccard coefficient (similarity measure for asymmetric binary variables): Note: Jaccard coefficient is the same as “coherence”: Object i Object j
48
48 3. Dissimilarity between Binary Variables Example: Gender is a symmetric attribute The remaining attributes are asymmetric binary Let the values Y and P be 1, and the value N be 0
49
49 3. Standardizing Numeric Data Z-score: X: raw score to be standardized, μ: mean of the population, σ: standard deviation the distance between the raw score and the population mean in units of the standard deviation negative when the raw score is below the mean, “+” when above An alternative way: Calculate the mean absolute deviation where standardized measure (z-score): Using mean absolute deviation is more robust than using standard deviation
50
50 3. Example: Data Matrix and Dissimilarity Matrix Dissimilarity Matrix (with Euclidean Distance) Data Matrix
51
51 3. Distance on Numeric Data: Minkowski Distance Minkowski distance: A popular distance measure where i = (x i1, x i2, …, x ip ) and j = (x j1, x j2, …, x jp ) are two p- dimensional data objects, and h is the order (the distance so defined is also called L-h norm) Properties: d(i, j) > 0 if i ≠ j, and d(i, i) = 0 (Positive definiteness) d(i, j) = d(j, i) (Symmetry) d(i, j) d(i, k) + d(k, j) (Triangle Inequality) A distance that satisfies these properties is a metric
52
52 3. Special Cases of Minkowski Distance h = 1: Manhattan (city block, L 1 norm) distance E.g., the Hamming distance: the number of bits that are different between two binary vectors h = 2: (L 2 norm) Euclidean distance h . “supremum” (L max norm, L norm) distance. This is the maximum difference between any component (attribute) of the vectors
53
53 3. Example: Minkowski Distance Dissimilarity Matrices Manhattan (L 1 ) Euclidean (L 2 ) Supremum
54
54 3. Ordinal Variables An ordinal variable can be discrete or continuous Order is important, e.g., rank Can be treated like interval-scaled replace x if by their rank map the range of each variable onto [0, 1] by replacing i-th object in the f-th variable by compute the dissimilarity using methods for interval-scaled variables
55
55 3. Attributes of Mixed Type A database may contain all attribute types Nominal, symmetric binary, asymmetric binary, numeric, ordinal One may use a weighted formula to combine their effects f is binary or nominal: d ij (f) = 0 if x if = x jf, or d ij (f) = 1 otherwise f is numeric: use the normalized distance f is ordinal Compute ranks r if and Treat z if as interval-scaled
56
56 4. Pixel-Oriented Visualization Techniques For a data set of m dimensions, create m windows on the screen, one for each dimension The m dimension values of a record are mapped to m pixels at the corresponding positions in the windows The colors of the pixels reflect the corresponding values (a)Income(b) Credit Limit(c) transaction volume (d) age
57
57 4. Direct Data Visualization Ribbons with Twists Based on Vorticity
58
58 news articles visualized as a landscape Used by permission of B. Wright, Visible Decisions Inc. 4. Landscapes Visualization of the data as perspective landscape The data needs to be transformed into a (possibly artificial) 2D spatial representation which preserves the characteristics of the data
59
59 4. Tree-Map Screen-filling method which uses a hierarchical partitioning of the screen into regions depending on the attribute values The x- and y-dimension of the screen are partitioned alternately according to the attribute values (classes) MSR Netscan Image
60
60 4. InfoCube A 3-D visualization technique where hierarchical information is displayed as nested semi-transparent cubes The outermost cubes correspond to the top level data, while the subnodes or the lower level data are represented as smaller cubes inside the outermost cubes, and so on
61
4. Visualizing Complex Data and Relations Visualizing non-numerical data: text and social networks Tag cloud: visualizing user-generated tags Newsmap: Google News Stories in 2005 The importance of tag is represented by font size/color Besides text data, there are also methods to visualize relationships, such as visualizing social networks 61
62
Summary Data attribute types: nominal, binary, ordinal, interval-scaled, ratio- scaled Many types of data sets, e.g., numerical, text, graph, Web, image. Gain insight into the data by: Basic statistical data description: central tendency, dispersion, graphical displays Data visualization: map data onto graphical primitives Measure data similarity Above steps are the beginning of data preprocessing. Many methods have been developed but still an active area of research. 62
