Learning Goal: I’m working on a data analytics writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

ESSAY #2:

This semester we encountered a journey thru the world of ever-expanding world of Data Mining.

This semester we studied:

① Use of RapidMiner in JAMSA Chapter 1 on pages 13-17 for Titanic data set.

② Theory of databases and relational databases in JAMSA book Chapter 3.

③ Data Mining of nominal sized databases using SAS Enterprise Miner version 15.3

[The size of the data set we used for PVA (Paralyzed Veterans Agency) was about 78,000.]

④ Text Mining using module within SAS Enterprise Miner 15.3.

⑤ Tools for relational databases such as Structured Query Language (SQL) using Oracle 21c as discussed in JAMSA Chapter 6.

[This is mining of data subject to specified criteria (e.g., queries) for nominal sized data sets.]

⑥ Data Mining and Data Visualization of “Big Data” using SAS Viya

[The size of “Orion Star Sports & Outdoors” data set we used was described on page 1-8 of Chapter 1: Getting Started with SAS Viya of: 747,953 orders + 68,300 customers + 3,151 products + 64 suppliers + 648 employees = 820,116 data values.]
