Big Data Overview: Techniques 1/2
A/B Testing
A technique in which a control group is compared with a
variety of test groups in order to determine what treatments
will improve a given objective. An example application is
determining what copy text, layouts, images, or colors will
improve conversion rates on an e-commerce Web site. Big
Data enables huge numbers of tests to be executed and
analyzed.
Cluster Analysis
A statistical method aimed to classify an huge data set and
in particular to identify a common behavior.
Classification
Classification. A set of techniques to identify the categories
in which new data points belong, based on a training set
containing data points that have already been categorized.
Data Mining
A set of techniques and technologies with the purpose to
extract patterns from large datasets through the combination
of methods following statistics and algorithms. These
techniques include association rule learning, cluster analysis,
classification, and regression.
McKinsey Global Institute in 2011 provided a list of the top 10 common
techniques applicable across a range of industries, particularly in response to
the need to analyze new amounts of data and their combination.

Network analysis
A set of techniques used to characterize relationships among discrete
nodes in a graph or a network. In social network analysis, connections
between individuals in a community or organization are analyzed.
Predictive modeling
A set of techniques in which a mathematical model is created or
chosen to best predict the probability of an outcome.
Sentiment analysis
Application of natural language processing and other analytic
techniques to identify and extract subjective information from source text
material.
Statistics
The science of the collection, organization, and interpretation of data,
including the design of surveys and experiments. Statistical techniques
are often used to understand the relationships between all the variables.
Visualization
Techniques used to create images, diagrams or animations, usually
integrated in more complex dashboards.

Big Data: Best Practices 1/3
First of all, however, we need to focus on some considerations on when is suitable
to use Big Data technologies
Analyze a huge quantity of data not only structured but also semi-structured and
unstructured from a wide variety of resources;
All of the data gathered must be analyzed against a sample or in another case,
sampling of data is not as effective as the analysis made upon a large amount of
data;
Iterative and explorative analysis when business measures on the data are not
determined a priori;
Solving information and business challenges that are not properly addressed by a
traditional relational database approach.
24. - 24-
Big Data: Best Practices 2/3
The best practices that we are going to describe regard both the
management aspects and the organizational and technological ones.
Muting the HiPPOs: the highest-paid person opinions are those on which
depend the most important decisions on how to retrieve and analyze data.
Today these people rely too much on intuition and experience rather than
the pure rationality of data so there is the need to transform this behavior;
Start with initiative that led to customer-centric outcome. It is very
important for those organization that are customer oriented to begin with
customer analytics that enable better services as a result of a deep
understand of customers needs and future behaviors;
Develop an enterprise schema that include the vision, the strategies and the
requirements for Big Data and is useful to align the business users need
and the implementation roadmap of information technologies;
In order to achieve near-term results is crucial the adoption of a pragmatic
approach, starting from the most logical and cost-effective place to look for
insight that is within the enterprise;
25. - 25-
Big Data: Best Practices 3/3
Big Data Analytics effectiveness strictly depends on analytical skills and analytics tools.
So the enterprises should invest in acquiring both tools and skills;
The Big Data strategy and the business analytics should encompass an evaluation of the
decision-making processes of the organization as well as an evaluation on the groups
and types of decision makers;
Try to uncover new metrics, key performance indicators and new analytics technique to
lock at new and existing data in a different way in order to find new opportunity. This
could require setting up a separate Big Data team with the purpose of experiment and
innovate;
The final goal of a Big Data project is not the collection of much data as possible but the
support of the concrete business needs and provide new reliable information to decision
makers;
Only one technology cannot meet all the Big Data requirements. The presence of
different workloads, data types, and user types should be served by the most suitable
technology. For example, Hadoop could be the best choice for a large-scale Web log
analysis but is not suitable for a real-time streaming at all. Multiple Big Data technologies
must coexist and address use cases for which they are optimized.
