Task 1: Exploratory Data Analysis, model building and cross validation through RapidMiner

The objective of Task 1 is to predict the probability of rainfall for tomorrow (next day) based on today's weather conditions. In Task 1, you are required to use the data mining tool RapidMiner to analyse and report on the weather2008-17.csv data set provided for Assignment 2. You should review the data dictionary for weather2008-17.csv data set (see Table 1.1 below).

The weather dataset contains 138,307 daily observations from January 2008 through to January 2017 from 49 weather stations. All observations were drawn from these 49 weather stations. In completing Task-1 of Assignment-2 you will need to apply the business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modelling and evaluation phases of the CRISP DM data mining process.

Task 1.1 Conduct an exploratory data analysis of the weather2008-17.csv data set using RapidMiner to understand the characteristics of each variable and the relationship of each variable to the other variables in the data set. Summarise the findings of your exploratory data analysis in terms of describing key characteristics of each of the variables in the weather2008-17.csv data set such as maximum, minimum values, average, standard deviation, most frequent values (mode), missing values, invalid or inconsistent values and others (if it is appropriate for this data analysis) and relationships with other variables in a table named ‘Results of Exploratory Data Analysis for weather2008-17 Data Set'.

Briefly discuss the key results of your exploratory data analysis and the justification for selecting your five (5) top variables for predicting whether it is likely to rain tomorrow based on today's weather conditions. (About 500 words)

Task 1.2 Build a Decision Tree model for predicting whether it is likely to rain tomorrow based on today's weather conditions using RapidMiner and an appropriate set of data mining operators and a reduced weather2008-17.csv data set determined by your exploratory data analysis in Task 1.1. Provide these outputs from RapidMiner (1) Final Decision Tree Model process, (2) Final Decision Tree diagram, and (3) associated decision tree rules.

Briefly explain your final Decision Tree Model Process, and discuss the results of the Final Decision Tree Model drawing on the key outputs (Decision Tree Diagram, Decision Tree Rules) for predicting whether it is likely to rain tomorrow based on today's weather conditions and relevant supporting literature on the interpretation of decision trees (About 250 words).

Task 1.3 Create a Weka Logistic Regression model for predicting whether it is likely to rain tomorrow based on today's weather conditions using RapidMiner and an appropriate set of data mining operators and a reduced weather2008-17.csv data set determined by your exploratory data analysis in Task 1.1. Provide these outputs from RapidMiner (1) Final Logistic Regression Model process and (2) Coefficients, and (3) Odds Ratios.

Briefly explain your final Logistic Regression Model Process, and discuss the results of the Final Logistic Regression Model drawing on the key outputs (Coefficients, Odds Ratios) for predicting whether it is likely to rain tomorrow based on today's weather conditions and relevant supporting literature on the interpretation of logistic regression models (About 250 words). (2+3+2=7 marks)

Task 1.4 You will need to validate your Final Decision Tree Model and Final Logistic Regression Model. Note you will need to use the X-Validation Operator; Apply Model Operator and Performance Operator in your data mining process models here.

Discuss and compare the accuracy of your Final Decision Tree Model with the Final Logistic Regression Model for whether it is likely to rain tomorrow based on today's weather conditions based the results of the confusion matrix, ROC, Lift chart for each final model. You should use a table here to compare the key results of the confusion matrix for the Final Decision Tree Model and Final Logistic Regression Model (About 250 words).

Task 2 Data Warehousing, Big Data, and Contemporary Issues
- LO1, LO2 (15 marks) & LO4

For Task-2.1 to 2.3 research the relevant literatures on how big data analytics capability can be incorporated into organizational data warehouse architecture and answer the below requirements-

Task 2.1 Develop an advanced high level data warehouse architecture design for a large state owned water utility company that incorporates both organizational structured data as well as big data capture, processing, storage and presentation in a same diagram called - ‘Big Data Analytics and Data Warehouse Combined' (about 50 words).

Task 2.2 Describe and justify the main components of your proposed high level data warehouse architecture design with big data capability incorporated presented in Task 2.1 with appropriate literature support (about 750 words).

Task 2.3 Identify and critically analyse the key security, privacy and ethical concerns for organisations within a specific industry that are already using a big data analytics and algorithmic approach to decision making with appropriate in-text referencing support (about 700 words).

Task 3 Tableau Desktop Dashboard

Assume you are the tableau specialist of a New Zealand based Data Analytics Company which is helping their client US Aviation LLC (an American aircraft manufacturer,) to better understand the wildlife strikes with aircraft, its causes and overall impacts. The aviation- wildlife.csv lists historical data recorded for American aviation industry regarding wildlife strikes with aircraft for the years 2000 to 2011. See

Table 3.1 which provides the Data dictionary for aviation-wildlife.csv dataset.

It is important for you understand the variables in this dataset in order to build the required Aircraft Wildlife Strikes (AWS) dashboard with four specified Tableau views.

Task 3 requires you build a Tableau dashboard which includes four different views of the aviation-wildlife.csv data set for the years 2000-2011 as specified in sub Tasks 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.

Task 3.1 Create a Tableau View of the impact of wildlife strikes with aircraft over time for a specific origin state. Provide a screen capture of and describe the Tableau view you have created and comment on the different types of impact to aircraft from wildlife strikes over time and does this differs much for different origin states (about 125 words).

Task 3.2 Create a Tableau View of flight phase by time of the day which shows when wildlife strikes with aircrafts occur. Provide a screen capture of and describe the Tableau view you have created and comment on which phase of a flight and time of the day wildlife strikes with aircraft are more likely to occur (about 125 words).

Task 3.3 Create a Tableau View that compares wildlife species in order of aircraft strike frequency and the chance of damage occurring. Provide a screen capture of and comment on which wildlife species are most frequently involved in aircraft strikes and which wildlife species are most likely to have the most impact in terms of damage (total cost) when an aircraft strike occurs (about 125 words).

Task 3.4 Create a Tableau Geo-Map View of flights by origin states that displays the number of wildlife strikes and total monetary cost for each origin state for different periods of time. Provide a screen capture of and describe the Tableau view you have created and comment on this Tableau GeoMap View in relation to the number of wildlife strikes by origin state and total monetary cost over time. A number of origin states cannot be plotted on the geomap view as these are outside USA, comment on how you can deal with this issue (About 125 words).

Task 3.5 Provide screen snapshot of your AWS Dashboard and an accompanying rationale (drawing on the relevant literature for good dashboard design) for the graphic design and functionality that is provided by your AWS Dashboard for the four specified Tableau views for sub Tasks 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 (About 500 words).

You will need to submit your Tableau workbook in .twbx format which contains your dashboard as a separate document to your main report for Assignment 2.
