- 1. UNIT-ii Data Preprocessing Content ********************************************** Why preprocess the data? Data cleaning Data integration and transformation Data reduction Discretization and concept hierarchgeneration
- 2. Why preprocess the data?
- 3. Why Data Preprocessing? • Data in the real world is: – incomplete: lacking attribute values, lacking certain attributes of interest, or containing only aggregate data – noisy: containing errors or outliers – inconsistent: containing discrepancies in codes or names • No quality data, no quality mining results! – Quality decisions must be based on quality data – Data warehouse needs consistent integration of quality data
- 4. Multi-Dimensional Measure of Data Quality • A well-accepted multidimensional view: – – – – – – – – Accuracy Completeness Consistency Timeliness Believability Value added Interpretability Accessibility • Broad categories: – intrinsic, contextual, representational, and accessibility.
- 5. Major Tasks in Data Preprocessing • Data cleaning – Fill in missing values, smooth noisy data, identify or remove outliers, and resolve inconsistencies • Data integration – Integration of multiple databases, data cubes, or files • Data transformation – Normalization and aggregation • Data reduction – Obtains reduced representation in volume but produces the same or similar analytical results • Data discretization – Part of data reduction but with particular importance, especially for numerical data
- 8. Data Cleaning • Data cleaning tasks – Fill in missing values – Identify outliers and smooth out noisy data – Correct inconsistent data
- 9. Missing Data • Data is not always available – E.g., many tuples have no recorded value for several attributes, such as customer income in sales data • Missing data may be due to – equipment malfunction – inconsistent with other recorded data and thus deleted – data not entered due to misunderstanding – certain data may not be considered important at the time of entry – not register history or changes of the data • Missing data may need to be inferred.
- 10. How to Handle Missing Data? • Ignore the tuple: usually done when class label is missing • Fill in the missing value manually • Use a global constant to fill in the missing value: ex. “unknown”
- 11. How to Handle Missing Data? • Use the attribute mean to fill in the missing value • Use the attribute mean for all samples belonging to the same class to fill in the missing value • Use the most probable value to fill in the missing value: inference-based such as Bayesian formula or decision tree
- 12. Noisy Data • Noise: random error or variance in a measured variable • Incorrect attribute values may due to – – – – – faulty data collection instruments data entry problems data transmission problems technology limitation inconsistency in naming convention • Other data problems which requires data cleaning – duplicate records – incomplete data – inconsistent data
- 13. How to Handle Noisy Data? • Binning method: – first sort data and partition into (equalfrequency) bins – then one can smooth by bin means, smooth by bin median, smooth by bin boundaries • Clustering – detect and remove outliers • Regression – smooth by fitting the data to a regression functions – linear regression
- 14. Cluster Analysis
- 16. Data Integration • Data integration: – combines data from multiple sources into a coherent store • Schema integration – integrate metadata from different sources – Entity identification problem: identify real world entities from multiple data sources, e.g., A.cust-id ≡ B.cust-# • Detecting and resolving data value conflicts – for the same real world entity, attribute values from different sources are different – possible reasons: different representations, different scales, e.g., metric vs. British units
- 17. Handling Redundant Data in Data Integration • Redundant data occur often when integration of multiple databases – The same attribute may have different names in different databases – One attribute may be a “derived” attribute in another table, e.g., annual revenue
- 18. Handling Redundant Data in Data Integration • Redundant data may be able to be detected by correlation analysis • Careful integration of the data from multiple sources may help reduce/avoid redundancies and inconsistencies and improve mining speed and quality
- 19. Data Transformation • Smoothing: remove noise from data • Aggregation: summarization, data cube construction • Generalization: concept hierarchy climbing
- 20. Data Transformation • Normalization: scaled to fall within a small, specified range – min-max normalization – z-score normalization – normalization by decimal scaling • Attribute/feature construction – New attributes constructed from the given ones
- 21. Data Transformation: Normalization • min-max normalization v − min v' = (new _ max − new _ min ) + new _ min max − min A A A A A • z-score normalization v −mean v' = stand _ dev A A v • normalization by decimal scaling v' = 10 j Where j is the smallest integer such that Max(| v ' |)<1 A
- 22. Data reduction
- 23. Data Reduction • Warehouse may store terabytes of data: Complex data analysis/mining may take a very long time to run on the complete data set • Data reduction – Obtains a reduced representation of the data set that is much smaller in volume but yet produces the same (or almost the same) analytical results
- 24. Example of Decision Tree Induction Initial attribute set: {A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6} A4 ? A6? A1? Class 1 > Class 2 Class 1 Reduced attribute set: {A1, A4, A6} Class 2
- 25. Histograms • A popular data reduction technique • Divide data into buckets and store average (sum) for each bucket • Can be constructed optimally in one dimension using dynamic programming • Related to quantization 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 10000 30000 50000 70000 90000
- 26. Clustering • Partition data set into clusters, and one can store cluster representation only • Can be very effective if data is clustered but not if data is “smeared” • Can have hierarchical clustering and be stored in multi-dimensional index tree structures • There are many choices of clustering definitions and clustering algorithms.
- 27. Sampling • Allows a large data set to be represented by a much smaller of the data. • Let a large data set D, contains N tuples. • Methods to reduce data set D: – Simple random sample without replacement (SRSWOR) – Simple random sample with replacement (SRSWR) – Cluster sample – Stright sample

- 30. Discretization and concept hierarchy generation
- 31. Discretization • Three types of attributes: – Nominal — values from an unordered set – Ordinal — values from an ordered set – Continuous — real numbers • Discretization: divide the range of a continuous attribute into intervals – Some classification algorithms only accept categorical attributes. – Reduce data size by discretization – Prepare for further analysis
- 32. Discretization and Concept hierachy • Discretization – reduce the number of values for a given continuous attribute by dividing the range of the attribute into intervals. Interval labels can then be used to replace actual data values. • Concept hierarchies – reduce the data by collecting and replacing low level concepts (such as numeric values for the attribute age) by higher level concepts (such as young, middle-aged, or senior).
- 33. Discretization reduce the number of values for a given continuous attribute by dividing the range of the attribute into intervals. Some classification algorithms only accept categorical attributes. Reduce data size by discretization Prepare for further analysis
- 34. Specification of a set of attributes Concept hierarchy can be automatically generated based on the number of distinct values per attribute in the given attribute set. The attribute with the most distinct values is placed at the lowestcountry of the hierarchy. level 15 distinct values province_or_ state city street 65 distinct values 3567 distinct values 674,339 distinct values
