    Experiment 1

    Aim: Exercise of data exploration in Weka.


    Lab Outcome: ITL601.1
    Identify sources of Data for mining and perform data exploration.

    Theory:
    Data Exploration:
    Data exploration refers to the initial step in data analysis in which data analysts use data
    visualization and statistical techniques to describe dataset characterizations, such as size,
    quantity, and accuracy, in order to better understand the nature of the data.
    Data exploration techniques include both manual analysis and automated data exploration
    software solutions that visually explore and identify relationships between different data
    variables, the structure of the dataset, the presence of outliers, and the distribution of data values
    in order to reveal patterns and points of interest, enabling data analysts to gain greater insight
    into the raw data. Data is often gathered in large, unstructured volumes from various sources and
    data analysts must first understand and develop a comprehensive view of the data before
    extracting relevant data for further analysis, such as univariate, bivariate, multivariate, and
    principal components analysis.
    Types of Attributes:
    Nominal Attributes: Nominal means “relating to names.” The values of a nominal attribute are
    symbols or names of things. Each value represents some kind of category, code, or state, and so
    nominal attributes are also referred to as categorical. The values do not have any meaningful
    order. In computer science, the values are also known as enumerations.
    Binary Attributes: A binary attribute is a nominal attribute with only two categories or states: 0
    or 1, where 0 typically means that the attribute is absent and 1 means that it is present. Binary
    attributes are referred to as Boolean if the two states correspond to true and false.
    Ordinal Attributes: An ordinal attribute is an attribute with possible valuesthat have a
    meaningful order or ranking among them, but the magnitude between successive values is not
    known.
    Numeric Attributes: A numeric attribute is quantitative; that is, it is a measurable quantity,
    represented in integer or real values. Numeric attributes can be interval-scaled or ratio-scaled.
    What is Weka?
    Weka (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) is a popular suite of machine learning
    software written in Java, developed at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. ... Weka is a
    collection of machine learning algorithms for solving real-world data mining problems. It is
    written in Java and runs on almost any platform.
    Practical :
    Step 1: Download Weka
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/weka/
    Step 2: Install Weka

    Step 3: Click on Explorer.


    Step 4: Open Database using Open file icon in C:\Program Files\Weka-3-8-6\data

    Step 5: Analyse the database using different parameters.
