Business Intelligence
Introduction
Business intelligence (BI) is defined as the ability for an organization to take all its capabilities and convert them
into knowledge, ultimately, getting the right information to the right people, at the right time, via the right channel.
This produces large amounts of information which can lead to the development of new opportunities for the
organization. When these opportunities have been identified and a strategy has been effectively implemented, they can provide an organization with a competitive advantage in the market, and stability in the long run (within its industry).
What is Business Intelligence
Collecting and refining information from many sources
Analyzing and presenting the information in useful ways
So people can make better business decisions
Business Intelligence
BI technologies provide historical, current and predictive views of business operations.
Common functions of business intelligence technologies are reporting, online analytical processing, analytics, data mining, process mining, complex event processing, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining, predictive analytics and prescriptive analytics.

BI is a umbrella term that include architectures, tools, databases, analytical tools, applications and methodologies.
Components of BI

Data Mining
Data Mining is a process that uses statistical, mathematical, artificial intelligence, Machine learningtechniques to extract and identify useful information and subsequent knowledge from large databases.
Data mining is the process of finding mathematical patterns from usually large set of data.These patterns can be rules, affinity, correlations, trends and prediction models.

Steps in Data Mining
Data Mining Tasks
•Association•Sequence •Classification•Clustering•Forecasting•Regression
• Types of information obtainable from data mining
• Associations: Occurrences linked to single event
• Sequences: Events linked over time
• Classifications: Patterns describing a group an item belongs to
• Clusters: Discovering as yet unclassified groupings
• Forecasting: Uses series of values to forecast future values
• Regression : Predict a value of a given continuous valued variable based on the values of other variables
Direct Marketingidentify which prospects should be included in a mailing list Market segmentation identify common characteristics of customers who buy same
products Customer churn Predict which customers are likely to leave your company for
competitor Market Basket Analysis Identify what products are likely to be bought together Insurance Claims Analysisdiscover patterns of fraudulent transactionscompare current transactions against those patterns
Association
Given a set of records each of which contain some number of items from a given collection Produce dependency rules which will predict
occurrence of an item based on occurrences of other items

2 Scale, Pencil,
3 Scale, Eraser, pouch, Sharpener
4 Scale, Pencil, pouch, sharpener
5 Eraser, scale , sharpner
Rules discover {sharpener} --> {eraser} {pouch ,sharpener} --> {scale)
Classification
Given a collection of records (training set ) Each record contains a set of attributes, one of the
attributes is the class.
Find a model for class attribute as a function of the values of other attributes.
Goal: previously unseen records should be assigned a class as accurately as possible.
Classification Example
Direct Marketing Goal: Reduce cost of mailing by targeting a set of
consumers likely to buy a new cell-phone product.
Approach: Use the data for a similar product introduced before. We know which customers decided to buy and which
decided otherwise. This {buy, don’t buy} decision forms the class attribute.
Collect various demographic, lifestyle, and company-interaction related information about all such customers. Type of business, where they stay, how much they earn, etc.
Use this information as input attributes to learn a classifier model.
Clustering
Given a set of data points, each having a set of attributes, and a similarity measure among them, find clusters such that Data points in one cluster are more similar to one
another. Data points in separate clusters are less similar to one
another.
Applications: Marketing: finding groups of customers with similar
buying pattern
Regression
Predict a value of a given continuous valued variable based on the values of other variables, assuming a linear or nonlinear model of dependency.
Greatly studied in statisticsExamples:
Predicting sales amounts of new product based on advertising expenditure.
Predicting wind velocities as a function of temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.
