Study of WEKA Tool

Aim: A. Investigation the Application interfaces of the Weka tool.

Introduction
Weka (pronounced to rhyme with Mecca) is a workbench that contains a collection of
visualization tools and algorithms for data analysis and predictive modeling, together with
graphical user interfaces for easy access to these functions. The original non-Java version of
Weka was a Tcl/Tk front-end to (mostly third-party) modeling algorithms implemented in
other programming languages, plus data preprocessing utilities in C, and Make file-based
system for running machine learning experiments. This original version was primarily
designed as a tool for analyzing data from agricultural domains, but the more recent fully
Java-based version (Weka 3), for which development started in 1997, is now used in many
different application areas, in particular for educational purposes and research. Advantages
of Weka include:
 Free availability under the GNU General Public License.
 Portability, since it is fully implemented in the Java programming language and thus
runs on almost any modern computing platform
 A comprehensive collection of data preprocessing and modeling techniques
 Ease of use due to its graphical user interfaces

Description
Open the program. Once the program has been loaded on the user‟s machine it is opened by
navigating to the programs start option and that will depend on the user‟s operating system.
Figure 1.1 is an example of the initial opening screen on a computer.
There are four options available on this initial screen:

Fig: 1.1 Weka GUI

1. Explorer - the graphical interface used to conduct experimentation on raw data After
clicking the Explorer button the weka explorer interface appears.
Fig: 1.2 Pre-processor
Inside the weka explorer window there are six tabs:
i) Preprocess- used to choose the data file to be used by the application.
Open File- allows for the user to select files residing on the local machine or recorded
medium
Open URL- provides a mechanism to locate a file or data source from a different location
specified by the user
Open Database- allows the user to retrieve files or data from a database source provided by
user
ii) Classify- used to test and train different learning schemes on the preprocessed data file
under experimentation

Fig: 1.3 choosing Zero set from classify

Again there are several options to be selected inside of the classify tab. Test option gives the
user the choice of using four different test mode scenarios on the data set.
1. Use training set
2. Supplied training set
3. Cross validation
 4. Split percentage

iii) Cluster- used to apply different tools that identify clusters within the data file.
The Cluster tab opens the process that is used to identify commonalties or clusters of
occurrences within the data set and produce information for the user to analyze.
iv) Association- used to apply different rules to the data file that identify association within
the data. The associate tab opens a window to select the options for associations within the
dataset.

v) Select attributes-used to apply different rules to reveal changes based on selected

attributes
inclusion or exclusion from the experiment
vi) Visualize- used to see what the various manipulation produced on the data set in a 2D
format,
in scatter plot and bar graph output.

2. Experimenter - this option allows users to conduct different experimental variations on

data sets and perform statistical manipulation. The Weka Experiment Environment enables
the user to create, run, modify, and analyze experiments in a more convenient manner than is
possible when processing the schemes individually. For example, the user can create an
experiment that runs several schemes against a series of datasets and then analyze the results
to determine if one of the schemes is (statistically) better than the other schemes.
Results destination: ARFF file, CSV file, JDBC database.
Experiment type: Cross-validation (default), Train/Test Percentage Split (data randomized).
Iteration control: Number of repetitions, Data sets first/Algorithms first.
Algorithms: filters
3. Knowledge Flow -basically the same functionality as Explorer with drag and drop
functionality. The advantage of this option is that it supports incremental learning from
previous results
4. Simple CLI - provides users without a graphic interface option the ability to
execute commands from a terminal window.
b. Explore the default datasets in Weka tool.
Click the “Open file…” button to open a data set and double click on the “data” directory.
Weka provides a number of small common machine learning datasets that you can use to
practiceon.

Case Study Using OLAP

Aim:
To evaluate the implementation and impact of OLAP technology in a real-world business
context, analyzing its effectiveness in enhancing data analysis, decision-making, and overall
operational efficiency.

Introduction:
OLAP stands for On-Line Analytical Processing. OLAP is a classification of
software technology which authorizes analysts, managers, and executives to gain insight into
information through fast, consistent, interactive access in a wide variety of possible views of
data that has been transformed from raw information to reflect the real dimensionality of the
enterprise as understood by the clients .It is used to analyze business data from different
points of view. Organizations collect and store data from multiple data sources, such as
websites, applications, smart meters, and internal systems.

Methodology
OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) methodology refers to the approach and techniques
used to design, create, and use OLAP systems for efficient multidimensional data analysis. Here
are the key components and steps involved in the OLAP methodology:

1. Requirement Analysis:
The process begins with understanding the specific analytical requirements of the
users. Analysts and stakeholders define the dimensions, measures, hierarchies, and data sources
that will be part of the OLAP system. This step is crucial to ensure that the OLAP system meets
the business needs.

2. Dimensional Modeling:
Dimension tables are designed to represent attributes like time, geography, and
product categories. Fact tables contain the numerical data (measures) and the keys to
dimension tables.

3. Star Schema:
This is a common design in OLAP systems where the fact table is at the center, connected to
dimension tables.

4. Data Extraction and Transformation:

Data is extracted from various sources, cleaned, and transformed into a format suitable for
OLAP analysis. This may involve data aggregation, cleansing, and integration.
5. Data Loading:
The prepared data is loaded into the OLAP database or cube. This step includes populating
the dimension and fact tables and creating the data cube structure.

Operations in OLAP
In OLAP (Online Analytical Processing), operations are the fundamental actions performed on
multidimensional data cubes to retrieve, analyze, and present data in a way that facilitates
decision-making and data exploration. The main operations in OLAP are:

1. Slice: Slicing involves selecting a single dimension from a multidimensional cube to

view a specific "slice" of the data. For example, you can slice the cube to view sales data for a
particular month, product category, or region.

2. Dice: Dicing is the process of selecting specific values from two or more dimensions to
create a subcube. It allows you to focus on a particular combination of attributes. For
example, you can dice the cube to view sales data for a specific product category and region
within a certain time frame.

3. Roll-up (Drill-up): Roll-up allows you to move from a more detailed level of data to a
higher-level summary. For instance, you can roll up from daily sales data to monthly or yearly
sales data, aggregating the information.

4. Drill-down (Drill-through): Drill-down is the opposite of roll-up, where you move from
a higher-level summary to a more detailed view of the data. For example, you can drill
down from yearly sales data to quarterly, monthly, and daily data, getting more granularity.

5. Pivot (Rotate): Pivoting involves changing the orientation of the cube, which means
swapping dimensions to view the data from a different perspective. This operation is useful for
exploring data in various ways.

6. Slice and Dice: Combining slicing and dicing allows you to select specific values from
different dimensions to create subcubes. This operation helps you focus on a highly specific
subset of the data.

7. Drill-across: Drill-across involves navigating between cubes that are related but have
different dimensions or hierarchies. It allows users to explore data across different OLAP cubes.

8. Data Filtering: In OLAP, you can filter data to view only specific data points or subsets
that meet certain criteria. This operation is useful for narrowing down data to what is most
relevant for analysis.

Dice

Roll Up
Pivot

Drill Down

Real time example

One of the real time example of olap is Market Basket Analysis.Let us discuss in detail about
the example
Market Basket Analysis:
 A data mining technique, is typically performed using algorithms like Apriori, FP- growth,
or Eclat. These algorithms are designed to discover associations or patterns in transaction
data, such as retail sales.
 While traditional OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is not the primary tool for market
basket analysis, it can play a supporting role. Here's how OLAP can complement market
basket analysis in more detail:
1. Data Integration:
Gather and integrate transaction data from various sources, such as point-of-sale
systems, e-commerce platforms, or other transactional databases. Clean and pre-process the
data, ensuring that it is in a format suitable for analysis.
2. Data Modeling:
Design a data model that will be used in the OLAP cube. In the context of market basket
analysis, consider the following dimensions and measures:
Dimensions:
Time (e.g., day, week, month)
Products (individual items or product categories) Customers (if you want to analyze customer
behavior)
Measures:
 The count of transactions containing specific items or itemsets.
 The count of products in each transaction.
 Any other relevant metrics, such as revenue, quantity, or profit.

3. Data Loading:
Load the integrated and preprocessed transaction data into the OLAP cube. Ensure that the
cube is regularly updated to reflect the most recent data.
4. OLAP Cube Design:
Define hierarchies and relationships within the cube to enable effective analysis. For instance,
you might have hierarchies that allow drilling down from product categories to individual
products.
5. Market Basket Analysis:
Although OLAP cubes are not designed for direct market basket analysis, they can
facilitate it in several ways:

Conclusion
OLAP is a powerful technology for businesses and organizations seeking data insights,
informed decisions, and performance improvement. It enables multidimensional data
analysis, especially in complex, data-intensive environments. It is a crucial technology for
organizations seeking to gain insights from their data and make informed decisions. It
empowers businesses to analyze data efficiently and effectively, offering a competitive
advantage in today's data-driven world.

Real World Example

In a real-world scenario, let's consider an e-commerce platform as an example of an OLTP
system. The platform processes millions of transactions every day. Here's a breakdown of how
the system functions:
Users can browse through the website, add products to their carts, and complete the checkout
process.
As a user completes the checkout process, a new transaction is created. This transaction
contains information about the products purchased, the buyer's details, the shipping address,
and other relevant data.
The system generates an invoice for the buyer and sends it via email.
The system generates transaction reports, such as daily sales summaries or sales by product
category, for internal use and management.
In this scenario, the e-commerce platform acts as an OLTP system, with its transaction
processing capabilities and the real-time updates to inventory and order details being key
components.
Here's an alternative approach using OLAP:
Aggregate sales data across all time and geographical locations, making it available for
reporting and analysis.
Allow business managers to run complex analytical queries on this data, such as calculating
average sales by product category, comparing sales trends between different regions, or
identifying top-performing sales channels.
Use OLAP tools like data warehouses and data cubes to enable fast, real-time access to
aggregated data and to simplify the process of running complex analytical queries.
By leveraging OLAP capabilities, businesses can gain insights into their sales performance,
identify trends and patterns, and make data-driven decisions. This can ultimately lead to
increased revenue, better customer service, and more efficient use of resources.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, OLTP systems play a pivotal role in modern business operations, facilitating
real-time transaction processing, data integrity, and customer interactions. These systems are
designed for high concurrency, low-latency, and consistent data access, making them
essential for day-to-day operations in various industries, such as finance, e-commerce,
healthcare, and more.
Overall, OLTP systems are the backbone of modern business operations, ensuring the
seamless execution of day-to-day transactions and delivering a positive customer experience.
