"Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine" Peter Sondergaard, SVP, Gartner Research
In analytics, we retrieve information from various data sources; it can be structured or unstructured. The biggest challenge here is to retrieve information from unstructured data mainly texts. Here machine learning comes into the picture to overcome this challenge. Different algorithms have been designed in different platforms…

Disclaimer: This is my attempt to explain some of the ‘Big Data’ concepts using basic analogies. There are inevitably nuances my analogy misses.
What is HDFS?
When people talk about ‘Hadoop’ they are usually referring to either the efficient storing or processing of large amounts of data. MapReduce is a framework for efficient processing using a parallel, distributed algorithm…

You’re working on the MAIN MODEL. The one that leverages half the company’s assets, and on which your paycheck and that of many others depends. You’ve already run through a stepwise, forward, and backward search of the variables, their interactions, and possible curvatures. What are the most productive things to do next?
Here are a couple of ideas…

Random Forest is a machine learning algorithm used for classification, regression, and feature selection. It's an ensemble technique, meaning it combines the output of one weaker technique in order to get a stronger result.
The weaker technique in this case is a decision tree. Decision trees work by splitting the and re-splitting the data by…
