12. 10-11 Data Warehousing, Mining, and Analysis Transaction versus analytical processing Data warehouse and data marts Knowledge discovery, analysis, and mining

13. 10-12 Transaction Versus Analytical Processing Good Data Delivery System Easy data access by end users Quicker decision making Accurate and effective decision making Flexible decision making

14. 10-13 Transaction Versus Analytical Processing Solution Business representation of data for end users Client-server environment - end users query and reporting capability Server-based repository (data warehouse)

15. 10-14 The Data Warehouse and Marts The purpose of a data warehouse is to establish a data repository that makes operational data accessible in a form readily acceptable for analytical processing activities... A data mart is … dedicated to a functional or regional area.

16. 10-15 Characteristics of Data Warehousing Organization Consistency Time variant Nonvolatile Relational

17. 10-16 The Data Warehouse and Marts Benefits Cost Architecture Putting the data warehouse on the internet Suitability

18. 10-17 Knowledge Discovery, Analysis, and Mining Foundations of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) Tools and techniques of KDD Online analytical processing (OLAP) Data mining

19. 10-18 The Foundations of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) Massive data collection Powerful multiprocessor computers Data mining algorithms

20. 10-19

21. 10-20 OLAP Queries Access very large amounts of data Analyze the relationships between many types of business elements Involve aggregated data Compare aggregated data over hierarchical time periods

22. 10-21 OLAP Queries Present data in different perspectives Involve complex calculations between data elements Able to respond quickly to user requests

23. 10-22 Data Mining Automated prediction of trends Automated discovery of previously unknown patterns

24. 10-23 Data Mining Characteristics and Objectives Data often buried deep within large databases Data may be consolidated in data warehouse or kept in internet and intranet servers Usually client-server architecture

25. 10-24 Data Mining Characteristics and Objectives Data mining tools extract information buried in corporate files or archived public records The “miner” is often an end user “Striking it rich” usually involves finding unexpected, valuable results Parallel processing

26. 10-25 Data Mining Characteristics and Objectives Data mining yields five types of information Data miners can use one or several tools

27. 10-26 Data Mining Yields Five Types of Information Association Sequences Classifications Clusters Forecasting

28. 10-27 Data Mining Techniques Case-based reasoning Neural computing Intelligent agents Others: decision trees, genetic algorithms, nearest neighbor method, and rule reduction

29. 10-28 Data Visualization Technologies Data visualization Multidimensionality Geographical information systems (GIS)

30. 10-29 Data Visualization Data visualization refers to presentation of data by technologies digital images, geographical information systems, graphical user interfaces, multidimensional tables and graphs, virtual reality, three-dimensional presentations and animation.

31. 10-30 Multidimensionality Major advantage - data can be organized the way managers prefer to see the data There factors: dimensions, measures, and time

32. 10-31 Examples Dimensions –Products, salespeople, market segments, business units, geographical locations Measures –Money, sales volume, head count, inventory, profit, actual versus forecasted Time –Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly

33. 10-32 Geographical Information Systems (GIS) A GIS is a computer-based system for capturing, storing, checking, integrating, manipulating, and displaying data using digitized maps.

34. 10-33 Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Software Data Emerging GIS applications

35. 10-34 Emerging GIS Applications Integration of GIS and GPS –Reengineer aviation and shipping industries Intelligent GIS (integration of GIS and ES) User interface –Multimedia, 3D graphics, animated and interactive maps Web applications
