companies that could buy one of the best tools still struggle to get actionable insights. Obviously, there is a gap between data and actionable insights, and the bridge is analytics. It is about finding the reason for what we see. The 10/90 rule states that for every $1 you spend on a web analytics tool, you should be spending $9 on the people to analyse the numbers, or the data would not be fully utilized. The…
recording and storing information, a means of analyzing locational distributions and spatial patterns and a method of presenting information and communicating findings. In addition, a map can convey spatial concepts more effectively than mere tabular data and textual descriptions. However, an improper or careless map-making process may deceive the map reader no matter that it is intentional or unintentional. There will be a discussion…
and a 3 month follow up of the program and the overall report is based on those qualitative results. The aim of the qualitative analysis of the findings is to illustrate and complement the results of the statistical data. They are aimed to: • illustrate the results of the statistical data with respect to the benefits of the individual (i.e. was there a change of attitude? an increase in social networks? behaviour changes?) • find out whether, and if so how, participants reflect on the program…
Heron has several major upgrades as compared to Storm, the most important of them all are better traffic congestion handling and easy debugging. Heron has a back pressure mechanism that dynamically adjusts the rate of data flow in a topology during execution, without compromising data accuracy. This is particularly useful under traffic spikes and pipeline congestions. As for debugging, since every task in Heron runs in process-level isolation, this makes it easy to understand its behaviour,…
opportunities with multiple companies particularly a large Los Angeles based video streaming and publishing client. The experience also gave me first-hand insight into how the industry is revolutionizing diverse sectors and growing in areas such as data analytics, next-generation television, Internet of Things etc. It also instilled in me the desire to be at the forefront of this transformation and to…
Purpose of chapter This study develops an understanding of reverse exchange in service sector based on the process of service recovery that they received from the service provider. This research goal is to produce the depth data regarding level of understanding people towards reverse exchange for future research. On the other hand, the purpose of this chapter as below: - 1. To described the research philosophy focus in service sector. 2. To develop research design 3. To propose research method…
Central’s committee is trying to find a way to predict high risk patient groups. They want to take patients from these groups and apply intensive treatments. This paper will discuss process that Central used, additional processes that could be used, how data can be used to guide clinical practice, and the application of this case to another clinical environment. Central’s Process The committee first makes a determination of what disease process they want to focus on. After this has been…
Abstract— Bag of words model (BOW),which was originally used for document classification has been introduced to computer vision field recently and used in object recognition successfully. The bag of words model to the face recognition which can robustly give excellent performance in recognizing the face under various conditions like illumination, pose variation ,facial expression and occlusions. The scale Invariant Feature Transform is used for extracting the features from the face and SVM…
Random forest is used in this paper but usually to predict via using univariate method. But this time they used a multivariate method that being Random Forest. Random forest is good for microarray data and shows when the predictive data is “noisy, it can be used when the number of variables is much larger than the number of observations.” Their results in this paper showed that random forest has comparable performance compared to others including SVM and KNN. It also…
Having the necessary information is crucial in almost any area, especially for research and development. The purpose of collecting data is primarily for knowledge discovery, then for further consideration. In other words, all websites gather people’s information and base on them to explore their behaviours and trends. From there, they will shape the browsing experience that match each person’s preference in the future. As mentioned above, social media, especially Facebook and Google, track all…
