Here’s a detailed explanation of the examples mentioned in each of the 17 course content topics

from the DTS 201 course:

---

1. Fundamentals of Data Science

Example: In retail, data science helps optimize inventory by analyzing sales trends and
predicting future demand.

---

2. Methodology of Extracting Knowledge from Big Datasets

Example: Netflix collects billions of data points on user behavior (watch history, pause/skip
habits) to recommend shows by cleaning, processing, and applying algorithms on the data.

---

3. Tools and Platforms for Data Science

Python: Used for data manipulation (pandas), analysis (numpy), and ML (scikit-learn).

SQL: Used to extract specific subsets of data from relational databases.

Tableau: Allows analysts to create dashboards with drag-and-drop charts.

Apache Spark: Processes big data in distributed systems, enabling faster computation.

---

4. What is Data and Why is it Important?

Example: In healthcare, patient data helps predict disease outbreaks or personalize treatment
plans.
---

5. Basic Classification of Data

Structured: An Excel spreadsheet of customer names, purchases, and dates.

Semi-structured: JSON format data from a web API containing user profiles.

Unstructured: A folder of customer support call recordings or handwritten notes.

---

6. Scope of Data Science

Example: In banking, data science is used for credit scoring and fraud detection using
transaction history and behavioral data.

---

7. Steps of Data Science Process

Example Workflow:

1. Data Collection: Collecting user clickstream data from an e-commerce site.

2. Preprocessing: Cleaning missing timestamps and normalizing purchase amounts.

3. Training: Using logistic regression to predict if a user will make a purchase.

4. Testing: Evaluating the model’s accuracy on new data.

5. Deployment: Implementing the model into the website for real-time prediction.
---

8. Rudiments of Data Visualizations

Bar Chart: Comparing sales across different regions.

Line Chart: Showing stock price over time.

Histogram: Displaying frequency of customer ages.

Scatter Plot: Visualizing relationship between advertising spend and sales.

---

9. Distributions, Probability, and Simulations

Normal Distribution: Human heights follow this curve.

Binomial Distribution: Used to calculate the probability of getting heads in 10 coin flips.

Monte Carlo Simulation: Simulating thousands of possible investment returns to assess financial
risk.

---

10. Predictions and Models

Supervised Learning (Classification): Predicting whether an email is spam or not.

Supervised Learning (Regression): Predicting house prices based on area, location, etc.

Unsupervised Learning (Clustering): Grouping customers based on shopping habits for targeted
marketing.

---
11. Use Cases in Various Domains

Image: Face recognition systems like Apple Face ID.

Natural Language: Chatbots understanding customer queries using NLP.

Audio: Siri recognizing your voice commands.

Video: YouTube recommending content based on your viewing history.

---

12. Basic Introduction to Knowledge Extraction

Example: Market basket analysis in retail finds that people who buy diapers often buy beer. This
is derived using association rule mining.

---

13. Data Mining

Clustering: Segmenting loan applicants into groups based on risk.

Classification: Determining if a bank transaction is fraudulent.

Association Rule Mining: Finding that customers who buy bread also often buy butter.

Anomaly Detection: Spotting unusual server activity that may indicate a cyberattack.

---

14. Business Intelligence & Knowledge Management

Example: A company uses a dashboard to track sales KPIs and make informed decisions on
inventory and marketing strategy.
---

15. Introduction to Big Data Integration and Intelligence

Example: Twitter processes real-time tweets across millions of users using distributed
frameworks like Hadoop and Spark for trend analysis.

---

16. Introduction to Data Analytics

Descriptive Analytics: "Last quarter sales were $1.2M."

Diagnostic Analytics: "Sales dropped because of lower website traffic."

Predictive Analytics: "Sales are likely to rise 15% next quarter."

Prescriptive Analytics: "Offer a 10% discount to boost conversion rates."

---

17. Introduction to Programming

Python (pandas): Reading a CSV file and summarizing sales data.

Python (matplotlib): Creating a line graph of monthly sales.

Python (scikit-learn): Training a decision tree classifier to predict churn.

R (ggplot2): Making a scatter plot to explore relationships between variables.
