n Why preprocess the data?
COMP9318: Data Warehousing and Data Mining 3
Why Data Preprocessing?
n Data in the real world is dirty
n incomplete: lacking attribute values, lacking certain
attributes of interest, or containing only aggregate
data
n e.g., occupation=“”
n noisy: containing errors or outliers
n e.g., Salary=“-10”
n inconsistent: containing discrepancies in codes or
names
n e.g., Age=“42” Birthday=“03/07/1997”
n e.g., Was rating “1,2,3”, now rating “A, B, C”
n e.g., discrepancy between duplicate records
COMP9318: Data Warehousing and Data Mining 4
Why Is Data Dirty?
n Incomplete data comes from
n n/a data value when collected
n different consideration between the time when the data was
collected and when it is analyzed.
n human/hardware/software problems
n Noisy data comes from the process of data
n collection
n entry
n transmission
n Inconsistent data comes from
n Different data sources
n Functional dependency violation
COMP9318: Data Warehousing and Data Mining 5
Why Is Data Preprocessing Important?
n No quality data, no quality mining results!
n Quality decisions must be based on quality data
n e.g., duplicate or missing data may cause incorrect or even
misleading statistics.
n Data warehouse needs consistent integration of quality
data
n Data extraction, cleaning, and transformation comprises
the majority of the work of building a data warehouse. —
Bill Inmon
n Also a critical step for data mining.
COMP9318: Data Warehousing and Data Mining 6
Major Tasks in Data Preprocessing
n Data cleaning
n Fill in missing values, smooth noisy data, identify or remove
outliers, and resolve inconsistencies
n Data integration
n Integration of multiple databases, data cubes, or files
n Data transformation
n Normalization and aggregation
n Data reduction
n Obtains reduced representation in volume but produces the
same or similar analytical results
n Data discretization & Data Type Conversion

Data Cleaning
n Importance
n “Data cleaning is one of the three biggest problems
in data warehousing”—Ralph Kimball
n “Data cleaning is the number one problem in data
warehousing”—DCI survey
n Data cleaning tasks
n Fill in missing values
n Identify outliers and smooth out noisy data
n Correct inconsistent data
n Resolve redundancy caused by data integration
9
Missing Data
n Data is not always available
n E.g., many tuples have no recorded value for several
attributes, such as customer income in sales data
n Missing data may be due to
n equipment malfunction
n inconsistent with other recorded data and thus deleted
n data not entered due to misunderstanding
n certain data may not be considered important at the time of
entry
n not register history or changes of the data
n Missing data may need to be inferred.
n Many algorithms need a value for all attributes
n Tuples with missing values may have different true values
COMP9318: Data Warehousing and Data Mining 10
How to Handle Missing Data?
n Ignore the tuple: usually done when class label is missing (assuming
the tasks in classification—not effective when the percentage of
missing values per attribute varies considerably.
n Fill in the missing value manually: tedious + infeasible?
n Fill in it automatically with
n a global constant : e.g., “unknown”, a new class?!
n the attribute mean
n the attribute mean for all samples belonging to the same class:
smarter
n the most probable value: inference-based such as Bayesian
formula or decision tree
COMP9318: Data Warehousing and Data Mining 11
Noisy Data
n Noise: random error or variance in a measured variable
n Incorrect attribute values may due to
n faulty data collection instruments
n data entry problems
n data transmission problems
n technology limitation
n inconsistency in naming convention
n Other data problems which requires data cleaning
n duplicate records
n incomplete data
n inconsistent data
COMP9318: Data Warehousing and Data Mining 12
How to Handle Noisy Data?
n Binning method:
n first sort data and partition into (equi-depth) bins
n then one can smooth by bin means, smooth by bin
median, smooth by bin boundaries, etc.
n Clustering
n detect and remove outliers
n Combined computer and human inspection
n detect suspicious values and check by human (e.g.,
deal with possible outliers)
n Regression
n smooth by fitting the data into regression functions

Data Integration
n Data integration:
n combines data from multiple sources into a coherent
store
n Schema integration
n integrate metadata from different sources
n Entity identification problem: identify real world entities
from multiple data sources, e.g., A.cust-id ≡ B.cust-#
n Detecting and resolving data value conflicts
n for the same real world entity, attribute values from
different sources are different
n possible reasons: different representations, different
scales, e.g., metric vs. British units

Handling Redundancy in Data Integration
n Redundant data occur often when integration of multiple
databases
n The same attribute may have different names in
different databases
n One attribute may be a “derived” attribute in another
table, e.g., annual revenue
n Redundant data may be able to be detected by
correlational analysis
n Careful integration of the data from multiple sources may
help reduce/avoid redundancies and inconsistencies and
improve mining speed and quality

range
