Q.1. Similarity measures determine the similarity between the two objects. The similarity between the two objects ti and tj, sim(ti, tj) in the database D is a mapping from D*D to the range [0, 1].

a. List the characteristics of a good similarity measure.

b. what are the four methods to determine the similarity characteristic between the two objects?

Ans : Similarity Measures

Similarity measures determine the similarity between the two objects. Similarity measure is an important tool of business intelligence system which is useful in determining the similarities between the two factors in abusiness application.

a. List the characteristics of a good similarity measure:

b. what are the four methods to determine the similarity characteristic between the two objects?

Ans :

1. Stimulus Generalization  :

A few years ago a chapter on similarity in a book about animal behavior would have been titled  “Stimulus Generalization,” and similarity would be defined by relative responding across stimuli in generalization and discrimination tasks. 

2. Multidimensional Scaling  :

Q.2. Transactions refers to business or commercial transactions. Online transaction processing refers to the categories of systems that assists and manage transaction- oriented applications, typically for data entry and retrieval transaction processing. List the differences between OLAP and OLTP.

Ans : Difference between OLAP and OLTP:

1. Definition:

OLTP (On-line Transaction Processing) is characterized by a large number of short on-line transactions (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). The main emphasis for OLTP systems is put on very fast query processing, maintaining data integrity in multi-access environments and an effectiveness measured by number of transactions per second. In OLTP database there is detailed and current data, and schema used to store transactional

Q.3. Data extraction is the act or the process of extracting data out of data sources for added data processing or data storage or data migration. This data can be extracted from the web. Explain the different techniques for data extraction. (Listing the various techniques, Explaining the four methods) 2,8

Ans : Listing the various techniques:

•         The Logical Extraction Methods

There are user types delineated by application requirements and by

skill. If we look at the users in light of their application requirements, we normally see

three distinct types:

• Traditional query and reporting

c. Basic Reporting and querying:

A querying and reporting tool helps to run regular reports, create organized listings, and perform cross-tabular reporting and querying.

The use of SQL as the basis for most querying and reporting tools was both good and bad for data warehousing. On the positive side, many

d. OLAP:

OLAP (On-line Analytical Processing) is characterized by relatively low volume of transactions. Queries are often very complex and involve aggregations. For OLAP systems a response time is an effectiveness measure. OLAP

Q.6. RSG is a footwear company which has its chain all over the world. This company has to keep track of all the products sold in the company and huge data is involved in it.
