Q1: Why Do Organizations Need Business
Intelligence?
Businesses
collect
massive
amounts of
data
•Data communications and data storage
essentially free
•2 million emails, 31,000 text messages,
and 162,000 instant messages
transmitted every second (2007)
•2010 total online computer storage about
600 exabytes
•70 exabytes equivalent to 14 times total
number of words ever spoken by humans
Reveal important
Such as, evidence that
patterns of relationships
someone is going to
and valuable information
default on a loan
buried in that data

Q3: What Problems Do Operational Data
Pose for BI Systems?

Q4: What Are the Purpose and Components
of a Data Warehouse?

Sources of Data for Data Warehouses
Internal operations systems
External data purchased from
outside sources
Data from social networking, usergenerated content applications
Metadata concerning data stored in
data warehouse

Q5: What Is a Data Mart and How Does It
Differ from a Data Warehouse?
Data Mart => Collection of data created to address
needs of a particular:
•Business function
•Problem
•Opportunity
Marts created from data extracted from data
warehouse
Data mart is like a retail store in a supply chain

Q6: What Are the Characteristics of
Data-Mining Systems?
Data mining—application of statistical techniques to find patterns and
relationships in body of data for purpose of classifying and predicting

9-12
Unsupervised Data Mining
Analysts do not
create model before
running analysis
Hypotheses created
after analysis as
explanation for
results
Apply data-mining
technique and
observe results
Technique:
•Cluster analysis to
find groups with
similar characteristics

9-13
Supervised Data Mining
Model developed before analysis
• Statistical techniques used to estimate
variable parameters
• Regression analysis—measures impact of
set of variables on one another
Example:
CellPhoneWeekendMinutes =
12 X (17.5 X CustomerAge) +
(23.7 X NumberMonthsOfAccount)
