Data mining is the process of looking at large banks of information to generate new information. Intuitively, you might think that data “mining” refers to the extraction of new data, but this isn’t the case; instead, data mining is about extrapolating patterns and new knowledge from the data you’ve already collected.

Relying on techniques and technologies from the intersection of database management, statistics, and machine learning, specialists in data mining have dedicated their…

It is not only about understanding about statistics, it is also about implementing the correct statistical approach or method. In this brief article I will showcase some common statistical blunders that we generally make and how to avoid them.

To make this information simple and consumable I have divided these errors into two parts:

1. Data Visualization Errors (Erroneous Graphs)
2. Statistical Blunders Galore (pun intended)

Sometimes, the anecdotal story helps you understand the new concept. But, this story is real. About 15 years ago, in Walmart, a sales guy made efforts to boost sales in his store. His idea was simple. He bundled the products together and applied some discounts to the bundled products. (Now, it became common practices in marketing) For example, this guy bundled bread with jam, so that customers easily found them together. Moreover,…

Machine Learning? Data Mining?



Well, there is a little bit difference between machine learning and data mining although I don't see any difference between them.

See the Stackexchange debate on the difference between machine learning and data mining.



At the end, it is about training the machine to…

Complex stuff! However, we can start from the basics , gain confidence in understanding our dataset and utilise whatever has already been done by other stalwarts! 

We have a 11 years monthly data on milk procurement by more than 100 milk co-ops spread across India. This contains their geographic location, quality of milk procured,  price received , products made etc etc. This is a seasonal industry  in India affected by weather, prices and in general crafty management acumen…

Data Science is the system used to extract insights from data that’s mined from various sources. Using various techniques including predictive modeling, Data Science helps to analyze and interpret vast amounts of data. The people who apply Data Science to manage large amounts of data are called Data Scientists. Let’s see how Data Science correlates with the…

If you’re relatively new to Machine Learning and it’s applications, you’ll more than likely have come across some pretty technical terms that are often difficult for the novice mathematician/scientist to get their head around.

Following on from a previous blog, (10 Common NLP Terms Explained for the Text Analysis Novice), we decided to put together a list of 10 Machine…

From episode 10 of my Naked Analyst Channel on YouTube.

I think I do - and it is the ‘appification’ of analytics. What I mean by this is the reduction of a complex analytic activity such as market segmentation, down to a single button on your computer interface. Very much like the…

The Telecom market is saturating and to increase their turnovers, operators are very creative and launch many innovative offers combining devices (mobile phone, MP3 players...), software (music downloads,...) and network (IP calls, ...). On another level, operators would first like to set trustworthy relationships with their good clients and therefore identify them and propose them quality services. To do so, the advanced knowledge of the customers’ past experience is fundamental. In fact,…
