Statistics, Data Mining or Data Science ?
• Statistics
– precise deterministic causal analysis over precisely collected data
• Data Mining
– deterministic causal analysis over re-purposed data carefully sampled
• Data Science
– trending/correlation analysis over existing data using bulk of population i.e. big data
– Extraction of actionable knowledge directly from data through a process of discovery,
hypothesis, and hypothesis testing.

Data Science Innovation
Data science innovation is something an
organization has not done before or even
something nobody anywhere has done before. A
data science innovation focuses on discovering
and using new or untraditional data sources to
solve new problems.

Big Data consists of extensive datasets primarily in the characteristics of
volume, variety, velocity, and/or variability that require a scalable
architecture for efficient storage, manipulation, and analysis.
. Computational portability is the movement of the computation to the location of the data.
Internet of Things “trillion sensors”

• The data collected in a single day take nearly two million years to playback on an MP3 player
• Generates enough raw data to fill 15 million 64GB iPods every day
• The central computer has processing power of about one hundred million PCs
• Uses enough optical fiber linking up all the radio telescopes to wrap twice around the Earth
• The dishes when fully operational will produce 10 times the global internet traffic as of 2013
• The supercomputer will perform 1018 operations per second - equivalent to the number of stars in three million Milky
Way galaxies - in order to process all the data produced.
• Sensitivity to detect an airport radar on a planet 50 light years away.
• Thousands of antennas with a combined collecting area of 1,000,000 square meters - 1 sqkm)
• Previous mapping of Centaurus A galaxy took a team 12,000 hours of observations and several years - SKA ETA 5
minutes !
To the scientists involved, however, the SKA is no testbed, it’s a transformative instrument which,
according to Luijten, will lead to “fundamental discoveries of how life and planets and matter all came
into existence. As a scientist, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

The GDELT Project pushes the boundaries of “big data,” weighing in at over a quarter-billion rows with 59 fields for each record,
spanning the geography of the entire planet, and covering a time horizon of more than 35 years. The GDELT Project is the largest
open-access database on human society in existence. Its archives contain nearly 400M latitude/longitude geographic coordinates
spanning over 12,900 days, making it one of the largest open-access spatio-temporal datasets as well.

The Newman Model of Deception (Pennebaker et al)
Key word categories for deception mapping:
(1) Self words e.g. “I” and “me” – decrease when someone distances themselves from content
(2) Exclusive words e.g. “but” and “or” decrease with fabricated content owing to complexity of maintaining
deception
(3) Negative emotion words e.g. “hate” increase in word usage owing to shame or guilty feeling
(4) Motion verbs e.g. “go” or “move” increase as exclusive words go down to keep the story on track

Language on Twitter Tracks Rates of Coronary Heart

The findings show that expressions of negative emotions such as anger, stress, and fatigue in the tweets
from people in a given county were associated with higher heart disease risk in that county.
On the other hand, expressions of positive emotions like excitement and optimism were associated with
lower risk.
The results suggest that using Twitter as a window into a community’s collective mental state may provide a
useful tool in epidemiology…So predictions from Twitter can actually be more accurate than using a set of
traditional variables.
Twitter and Marketing Predictions
• Tweets is “found data” without asking questions
• More meaning than typical search engine query
• Large numbers of passive participants in natural settings
• Twitter can predict the stock market (Lisa Grossman, Wired, Oct 19 2010)
• Predict movie success in first few weekends of release
• “…it also raises an interesting new question for advertisers and marketing
executives. Can they change the demand for their film, product or service buy
directly influencing the rate at which people tweet about it? In other words, can
they change the future that tweeters predict?”

The ANZ Heavy Traffic Index comprises
flows of vehicles weighing more than 3.5
tonnes (primarily trucks) on 11 selected
roads around NZ. It is contemporaneous
with GDP growth.
The ANZ Light Traffic Index is made up of
light or total traffic flows (primarily cars and
vans) on 10 selected roads around the
country. It gives a six month lead on GDP
growth in normal circumstances (but
cannot predict sudden adverse events such
as the Global Financial Crisis).
