DATE: DATA EXPLORATION AND INTEGRATION WITH WEKA

AIM:
To exploring the data and performing integration with weka

PROCEDURE:

WEKA - an open-source software provides tools for data preprocessing, implementation

of several Machine Learning algorithms, and visualization tools so that you can develop machine
learning techniques and apply them to real-world data mining problems. What WEKA offers is
summarized in the following diagram:
WEKA Installation

To install WEKA on your machine, visit WEKA’s official website and download the installation
file. WEKA supports installation on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. You just need to follow the
instructions on this page to install WEKA for your OS.
The WEKA GUI Chooser application will start and you would see the following screen

The GUI Chooser application allows you to run five different types of applications as listed
here:
 Explorer
 Experimenter
 Knowledge Flow
 Workbench
 Simple CLI

WEKA – Launching Explorer

let us look into various functionalities that the explorer provides for working with big data. When
you click on the Explorer button in the Applications selector, it opens the following screen:
On the top, you will see several tabs as listed here:
 Preprocess
 Classify
 Cluster
 Associate
 Select Attributes
 Visualize
Under these tabs, there are several pre-implemented machine learning algorithms. Let us
look into each of them in detail now.
Preprocess Tab
Initially as you open the explorer, only the Preprocess tab is enabled. The first step in machine
learning is to preprocess the data. Thus, in the Preprocess option, you will select the data file,
process it and make it fit for applying the various machine learning algorithms.
Classify Tab
The Classify tab provides you several machine learning algorithms for the classification of your
data. To list a few, you may apply algorithms such as Linear Regression, Logistic Regression,
Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, Random Tree, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, and so
on. The list is very exhaustive and provides both supervised and unsupervised machine learning
algorithms.
Cluster Tab
Under the Cluster tab, there are several clustering algorithms provided - such as SimpleK Means,
Filtered Clusterer, Hierarchical Clusterer, and so on.
Associate Tab
Under the Associate tab, you would find Apriori, Filtered Associator and FP Growth.
Select Attributes Tab
Select Attributes allows you feature selections based on several algorithms such as Classifier
Subset Eval, Prinicipal Components, etc.
Visualize Tab
Lastly, the Visualize option allows you to visualize your processed data for analysis. As you
noticed, WEKA provides several ready-to-use algorithms for testing and building your machine
learning applications. To use WEKA effectively, you must have a sound knowledge of these
algorithms, how they work, which one to choose under what circumstances, what to look for in
their processed output, and so on. In short, you must have a solid foundation in machine learning
to use WEKA effectively in building your apps.

Loading Data

The data can be loaded from the following sources:

 Local file system
 Web
 Database
Loading Data from Local File System
There are three buttons
 Open file
 Open URL
 Open DB
Click on the Open file ... button. A directory navigator window opens as shown in the following
screen
Loading Data from Web
Once you click on the Open URL button, you can see a window as follows:

We will open the file from a public URL Type the following URL in the popup box:
https://storm.cis.fordham.edu/~gweiss/data-mining/weka-data/weather.nominal.arff
You may specify any other URL where your data is stored. The Explorer will load the data from
the remote site into its environment.
Loading Data from DB
Once you click on the Open DB button, you can see a window as follows:
Set the connection string to your database, set up the query for data selection, process the query
and load the selected records in WEKA.
WEKA File Formats
WEKA supports a large number of file formats for the data. Here is the complete list:
 arff
 arff.gz
 bsi
 csv
 dat
 data
 json
 json.gz
 libsvm
 m
 names
 xrff
 xrff.gz

The types of files that it supports are listed in the drop-down list box at the bottom of the screen.
This is shown in the screenshot given below.
As you would notice it supports several formats including CSV and JSON. The default file type is
Arff.
Arff Format
An Arff file contains two sections - header and data.
 The header describes the attribute types.
 The data section contains a comma separated list of data.
As an example for Arff format, the Weather data file loaded from the WEKA sample databases is
shown below:
From the screenshot, you can infer the following points:
 The @relation tag defines the name of the database.
 The @attribute tag defines the attributes.
 The @data tag starts the list of data rows each containing the comma separated
 fields.
 The attributes can take nominal values as in the case of outlook shown here:
@attribute outlook (sunny, overcast, rainy)
 The attributes can take real values as in this case:
@attribute temperature real
 You can also set a Target or a Class variable called play as shown here:
@attribute play (yes, no)
 The Target assumes two nominal values yes or no.
Understanding Data
Let us first look at the highlighted Current relation sub window. It shows the name of the database
that is currently loaded. You can infer two points from this sub window:
 There are 14 instances - the number of rows in the table.
 The table contains 5 attributes - the fields, which are discussed in the upcoming
 sections.
On the left side, notice the Attributes sub window that displays the various fields in the
database.
The weather database contains five fields - outlook, temperature, humidity, windy and play.
when you select an attribute from this list by clicking on it, further details on the attribute itself
are displayed on the right hand side.
Let us select the temperature attribute first. When you click on it, you would see the following
screen:
In the Selected Attribute subwindow, you can observe the following:
 The name and the type of the attribute are displayed.
 The type for the temperature attribute is Nominal.
 The number of Missing values is zero.
 There are three distinct values with no unique value.
 The table underneath this information shows the nominal values for this field as
hot, mild and cold.
 It also shows the count and weight in terms of a percentage for each nominal value.
At the bottom of the window, you see the visual representation of the class values
If you click on the Visualize All button, you will be able to see all features in one single window
as shown here:
Removing Attributes
Many a time, the data that you want to use for model building comes with many irrelevant fields.
For example, the customer database may contain his mobile number which is relevant in analysing
his credit rating

To remove Attribute/s select them and click on the Remove button at the bottom.
The selected attributes would be removed from the database. After you fully preprocess the data,
you can save it for model building.
Next, you will learn to preprocess the data by applying filters on this data.

Data Integration

Suppose you have 2 datasets as below and need to merge them together

Open a Command Line Interface

 Run the following command replacing values as needed
 java -cp weka.jar weka.core.Instances merge <path to file1> <path to file 2> >
<path to result file>
 Example

java weka.core.Instances merge C:\Users\Ram\Downloads\file1.csv

C:\Users\Ram\Downloads\file2.csv > C:\Users\Ram\Downloads\results.csv

Finished redirecting output to 'C:\Users\Ram\Downloads\results.csv'.

Now you can see results.csv or results.csv file in your given location as below.

RESULT:

Thus the weka software are installed and performed data exploration and integration successfully

DATE: APPLY WEKA TOOL FOR DATA VALIDATION

AIM:

To validate the data stored in data warehouse using Weka tool.

PROCEDURE:

Data validation is the process of verifying and validating data that is collected before it is
used. Any type of data handling task, whether it is gathering data, analyzing it, or structuring it
for presentation, must include data validation to ensure accurate results.

1. Data Sampling

After loading your dataset

 Click on choose ( certain datasets in sample datasets does not allow this operation. I used
Brest-cancer dataset for this experiment )
 Filters -> supervised -> Instance -> Re-sample
 Click on the name of the algorithm to change parameters
 Change biasToUniformClass to have a biased sample. If you set it to 1 resulting dataset
will have equal number of instances for each class. Ex:- Brest-cancer positive 20 negative
20.
 Change noReplacement accordingly.
 Change sampleSizePrecent accordingly. ( self explanatory )
2. Removing duplicates

 Choose filters -> unsupervised -> instance -> RemoveDuplicates

 Compare the results as below

2.2 Dealing with missing values

 Open labor.arff file using weka. ( which has missing values )

 Click on edit button on the top bar to get a view of dataset as blow. Here you can clearly
see the missing values in gray areas.

 Filters -> unsupervised -> attribute -> replaceMissingValuesWithUserConstants

  In attributes set the column number you want to replace values.
 Set nominalStringReplacementValue to a suitable string if selected column is nominal.
 Set numericReplacementValue to 0, -1 depending on your requirement if selected column
is numeric.
 fill all replacement values, add “first-last” to attribute column to apply for all columns at
once.
 ReplaceMissingValues filter which replace numeric values with mean and nominal values
with mode.

3. Data Reduction

PCA
 Load iris dataset
 Filters -> unsupervised -> attribute -> PrincipleComponents
  Original iris dataset have 5 columns. ( 4 data + 1 class ). Lets reduce that to 3 columns ( 2
data + 1 class ).

 maximumAttributes – No of attributes we need after reduction.

 maximumAttributeNames – PCA algorithm calculates 4 principle components for this
dataset. Upon them we are selecting the 2 components which have the most variance ( PC1,
PC2 ). Then we need to re-represent data again using these selected components ( reducing
4D plot to 2D plot ). In this process we can select how many principle components we are
using when re-generating values. See the final result below where you can see new columns
are created using 3 principle components multiplied by respective bias values.

4. Data transformation

Normalization
 Load iris dataset
 Filters -> unsupervised -> attribute -> normalize
  Normalization is important when you don’t know the distribution of data beforehand.
 Scale is the length of number line and translation is the lower bound.
 Ex :- scale 2 and translation -1 => -1 to 1, scale 4 and translation -2 => -2 to 2
 This filter get applied to all numeric columns. You can’t selectively normalize.
Standardization
 Load iris dataset.
 Used when dataset known to be in Gaussian (bell curve) distribution.
 Filters -> unsupervised -> attribute -> standardize
 This filter get applied to all numeric columns. You can’t selectively standardize.
Discretization
 Load diabetes dataset.
 Discretization comes in handy when using decision trees.
 Suppose you need to change weight column to two values like low and high.
  Set column number 6 to AttributeIndices.
 Set bins to 2 ( Low/ High)
 When you set equal frequency to true there will be equal number of high and low entries
in the final column.

RESULT:

Thus the software as performed and apply weka tool for data validation as successfully validate.

DATE: ANALYSES THE DIMENSIONAL MODELING

AIM:

To Analyses the dimensional Modeling using MYSQL.

PROCEDURE:
To analyze the dimensional modeling, you can follow this procedure:

1. Understand Dimensional Modeling Concepts:

Review the concept of dimensional modeling, which involves creating dimension tables and a fact
table to organize and structure data in a way that supports efficient querying and reporting.
2. Examine Dimension Tables:
Look at the dimension tables (dim_time, dim_product, dim_location) and understand their
structure.
dim_time includes time-related information such as date, year, quarter, month, and day.
dim_product includes product-related information such as product name, category, and
subcategory.
dim_location includes location-related information such as country, city, and state.
3. Analyze Fact Table:
Examine the fact table (fact_sales) and understand how it relates to dimension tables through
foreign key references.
The fact table includes sales-related information such as sales ID, time ID, product ID, location ID,
amount, and quantity.
Foreign key relationships link the fact table to the corresponding records in dimension tables.
4. Review Data Population:
Observe the sample data inserted into dimension tables and the fact table.
Understand how the data in dimension tables is related to the fact table through foreign keys.
Verify that the sample sales data in the fact table corresponds to existing records in dimension
tables.
5. Evaluate Data Types:
Review the data types chosen for columns (e.g., DECIMAL for amount, INT for identifiers) to
ensure they are appropriate for the data they store.

6. Check for Data Integrity:

Ensure that foreign key relationships are correctly established to maintain data integrity.
Confirm that each foreign key in the fact table corresponds to a primary key in its respective
dimension table.
 7. Consider Indexing:
Evaluate whether indexes are applied appropriately, especially on columns used for joins and
filtering, to enhance query performance.
8. Verify Constraints:
Check for constraints like primary keys, auto-incrementing values, and other constraints to
maintain data consistency and integrity.
9. Plan for Updates:
Consider how updates, deletions, and insertions will be handled, especially in a production
environment. Ensure that these operations do not compromise data consistency.
10. Documentation:
Document the dimensional model, including relationships, data types, and constraints, for
future reference.

DATE: CASE STUDY USING OLAP

AIM:

case study scenario for using OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) in a data warehousing
environment:

Case Study: Retail Sales Analysis

Background:

A retail company operates multiple stores across different regions. They have been collecting
transactional data from their point-of-sale (POS) systems for several years. The company wants to
gain insights into their sales performance, customer behavior, and product trends to make informed
business decisions.

Objective:

The objective is to design a data warehousing solution using OLAP for analyzing retail sales data to
uncover actionable insights.

Data Sources:

1. Transactional data: Includes information such as sales date, store ID, product ID, quantity sold,
unit price, and total sales amount.
2. Customer data: Includes demographics, loyalty program membership status, and purchase
history.
3. Product data: Includes product attributes such as category, brand, and price.

Solution:
1. Data Integration:
Extract data from various sources and load it into a centralized data warehouse. Transform
and cleanse the data to ensure consistency and quality.
2. Dimensional Modeling:
Design a star schema or snowflake schema to organize the data into fact tables (e.g., sales
transactions) and dimension tables (e.g., store, product, time, customer).
3. OLAP Cube Creation:
Build OLAP cubes based on the dimensional model to provide multi-dimensional views of
the data. Dimensions such as time, product, store, and customer can be sliced and diced for
analysis.
4. Analysis:

- Sales Performance Analysis:

Analyze total sales revenue, units sold, and average transaction value by store, region, product
category, and time period.

- Customer Behavior Analysis:

Explore customer segmentation based on demographics, purchase frequency, and purchase
amount. Identify high-value customers and their purchasing patterns.
 - Product Trend Analysis:
Identify top-selling products, analyze product performance over time, and detect seasonality or
trends in sales.
- Cross-Selling Analysis:
Analyze associations between products frequently purchased together to optimize product
placement and marketing strategies.

5. Visualization:

IMPLEMENTATION OF WAREHOUSE TESTING
DATE:

AIM:

Implementing warehouse testing involves several steps to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse
operations.

PROCEDURE:

1. Define Testing Objectives:

Determine the specific objectives and goals of the warehouse testing. This could include ensuring
inventory accuracy, optimizing picking and packing processes, improving order fulfillment times,
etc.

2. Identify Test Scenarios:

Define a set of test scenarios that cover different aspects of warehouse operations, such as receiving
goods, put-away, picking, packing, shipping, and inventory counts. These scenarios should be based
on real-world scenarios and should cover both normal and edge cases.

3. Set Testing Criteria:

Establish criteria for evaluating the success of each test scenario. This could include accuracy rates,
time taken to complete tasks, error rates, etc.

4. Prepare Test Data:

Gather or generate the necessary test data to simulate real-world warehouse operations. This could
include product data, inventory levels, customer orders, shipping information, etc.

5. Allocate Testing Resources:

Assign personnel and equipment necessary to conduct the warehouse testing. This may involve
coordinating with warehouse staff, IT personnel, and any external vendors or consultants as needed.

6. Execute Test Scenarios:

Conduct the warehouse testing by executing the predefined test scenarios using the allocated
resources. Ensure that each scenario is executed according to the defined criteria, and record the
results of each test.

7. Analyze Test Results:

Analyze the results of the warehouse testing to identify any areas of improvement or areas where
issues were encountered. Determine the root causes of any issues and prioritize them based on their
impact on warehouse operations.

8. Implement Remedial Actions:

Take corrective actions to address any issues or deficiencies identified during the testing process.
This could involve updating procedures, modifying system configurations, providing additional
training to warehouse staff, etc.
 9. Document Findings:

Document the findings of the warehouse testing process, including test results, corrective actions
taken, and any recommendations for future improvements. This documentation will serve as a
reference for future testing cycles and continuous improvement efforts.

10. Iterate and Refine:

Continuously iterate and refine the warehouse testing process based on feedback and results from
previous testing cycles. Make adjustments as needed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
warehouse.

PROGRAM:

-- Create a testing schema

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS testing;

-- Switch to the testing schema

USE testing;

-- Create the dim_time table

CREATE TABLE dim_time (
time_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
