Motivation: Business Intelligence

Customer information (customer-id, gender, age, home- address, occupation, income, family-size, …) Product information (Product-id, category, manufacturer, made-in, stock- price, …) Sales information (customer-id, product-id, #units, unit-price, sales- representative, …) Business queries:

  • Which categories of products are most popular for customers in Vancouver?
  • Find pairs (customer groups, most popular products)

Symptoms:

  • verweight,

high blood pressure, back pain, short of breadth, chest pain, cold sweat … In what aspect is he most similar to cases of coronary artery disease and, at the same time, dissimilar to adiposity?

Don’t You Ever Google Yourself?

  • Big data makes one know oneself better
  • 57% American adults search themselves on

Internet

– Good news: those people are better paid than those who haven’t done so! (Investors.com)

  • Egocentric analysis becomes

more and more important with big data

  • J. Pei: Finding Outstanding Aspects and Contrast Subspaces

Egocentric Analysis

  • How am I different from (more often than

not, better than) others?

  • In what aspects am I good?

Dimensions

  • “An aspect or feature of a situation, problem, or

thing, a measurable extent of some kind” – Dictionary

  • Dimensions/attributes are used to model

complex objects in a divide-and-conquer manner

– Objects are compared in selected dimensions/ attributes

  • More often than not, objects have too many

dimensions/attributes than one is interested in and can handle

Multi-dimensional Analysis

  • Find interesting patterns in multi-dimensional

subspaces

– “Michael Jordan is outstanding in subspaces (total points, total rebounds, total assists) and (number of games played, total points, total assists)”

  • Different patterns may be manifested in

different subspaces

– Feature selection (machine learning and statistics): select a subset of relevant features for use in model construction – a set of features for all objects – Different subspaces may manifest different patterns

OLAP

  • Conceptually, we may explore all possible

subspaces for interesting patterns

  • What patterns are interesting?
  • How can we explore all possible subspaces

systematically and efficiently?

  • Fundamental problems in analytics and data

mining

OLAP

  • Aggregates and group-bys are frequently used in

data analysis and summarization

SELECT time, altitude, AVG(temp) FROM weather GOUP BY time, altitude; – In TPC, 6 standard benchmarks have 83 queries, aggregates are used 59 times, group-bys are used 20 times

  • Online analytical processing (OLAP): the

techniques that answer multi-dimensional analytical (MDA) queries efficiently

OLAP Operations

  • Roll up (drill-up): summarize data by

climbing up hierarchy or by dimension reduction

– (Day, Store, Product type, SUM(sales) à (Month, City, *, SUM(sales))

  • Drill down (roll down): reverse of roll-up,

from higher level summary to lower level summary or detailed data, or introducing new dimensions

Other Operations

  • Dice: pick specific values or ranges on

some dimensions

  • Pivot: “rotate” a cube – changing the order
  • f dimensions in visual analysis

Relational Representation

  • If there are n dimensions, there are 2n

possible aggregation columns

Roll up by model by year by color in a table

slide-16

Jian Pei: Big Data Analytics -- Multidimensional Analysis 16

Difficulties

  • Many group bys are needed

– 6 dimensions à 26=64 group bys

  • In most SQL systems, the resulting query

needs 64 scans of the data, 64 sorts or hashes, and a long wait!

Semantics of ALL

  • ALL is a set

– Model.ALL = ALL(Model) = {Chevy, Ford } – Year.ALL = ALL(Year) = {1990,1991,1992} – Color.ALL = ALL(Color) = {red,white,blue}

OLTP Versus OLAP

OLTP OLAP users clerk, IT professional knowledge worker function day to day operations decision support DB design application-oriented subject-oriented data current, up-to-date, detailed, flat relational Isolated historical, summarized, multidimensional integrated, consolidated usage repetitive ad-hoc access read/write, index/hash on prim. key lots of scans unit of work short, simple transaction complex query # records accessed tens millions #users thousands hundreds DB size 100MB-GB 100GB-TB metric transaction throughput query throughput, response

What Is a Data Warehouse?

  • “A data warehouse is a subject-oriented,

integrated, time-variant, and nonvolatile collection of data in support of management’s decision-making process.” – W. H. Inmon

  • Data warehousing: the process of

constructing and using data warehouses

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Jian Pei: Big Data Analytics -- Multidimensional Analysis 22

Subject-Oriented

  • Organized around major subjects, such as

customer, product, sales

  • Focusing on the modeling and analysis of

data for decision makers, not on daily

  • perations or transaction processing
  • Providing a simple and concise view around

particular subject issues by excluding data that are not useful in the decision support process

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Jian Pei: Big Data Analytics -- Multidimensional Analysis 23

Integrated

  • Integrating multiple, heterogeneous data sources

– Relational databases, flat files, on-line transaction records

  • Data cleaning and data integration

– Ensuring consistency in naming conventions, encoding structures, attribute measures, etc. among different data sources

  • E.g., Hotel price: currency, tax, breakfast covered, etc.

– When data is moved to the warehouse, it is converted

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Jian Pei: Big Data Analytics -- Multidimensional Analysis 24

Time Variant

  • The time horizon for the data warehouse is

significantly longer than that of operational systems

– Operational databases: current value data – Data warehouse data: provide information from a historical perspective (e.g., past 5-10 years)

  • Every key structure in the data warehouse contains

an element of time, explicitly or implicitly – But the key of operational data may or may not contain “time element”

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Jian Pei: Big Data Analytics -- Multidimensional Analysis 25

Nonvolatile

  • A physically separate store of data

transformed from the operational environment

  • Operational updates of data do not occur in

the data warehouse environment

– Do not require transaction processing, recovery, and concurrency control mechanisms – Require only two operations in data accessing

  • Initial loading of data
  • Access of data
slide-26
SLIDE 26

Jian Pei: Big Data Analytics -- Multidimensional Analysis 26

Why Separate Data Warehouse?

  • High performance for both

– Operational DBMS: tuned for OLTP – Warehouse: tuned for OLAP

  • Different functions and different data

– Historical data: data analysis often uses historical data that operational databases do not typically maintain – Data consolidation: data analysis requires consolidation (aggregation, summarization) of data from heterogeneous sources
