Relational Data Model

In the previous blog post, we covered Data Modeling. We have seen that data modeling is really important before jumping into predictive modeling.  In this article, we will cover the Relational Data Model (RDM). Let's start from the very basics, relational means anything which is linked with some other thing. This link is called "Relationship". In RDM or RM there are major three types of relationship cardinalities (also called Multiplicities or Cardianalities): 1. One to one 2. One to many 3. Many to many We can understand these with the help of a few simple examples;  One to one: One department has one manager. One to many: One class has many students. Many to many: Many teachers can teach many students. Okay, so we have got an abstract overview of the term " Relational ", now the next thing is " Data ", data covers everything, anything... And finally, " Model " means something in the form of a template, design, a kind of blueprint.  To store...

   Data is a new oil. To channelize this data we need proper pipelines. These pipelines are mostly called ETL or data pipelines.  There are various tools out there to work out these Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) operations.  Some of the scripting tools are:  - Python - SQL and NoSQL Apache provides a wide range of products that can be used as Data Engineering tools.  Some of the amazing apache DE services comprised of; - Hadoop - Spark - Kafka - Cassandra - Hive In addition, some cool DE tools are: - Tableau - Talend - MapReduce These DE tools provide a way to manage the data pipelines in a more effective, efficient, and better way.  Almost every Data-Oriented company in the corporate sector is highly dependent upon these technologies. They are leveraging many of the above-mentioned mechanisms for promising Data Services and Architecture. That's it for today. Hope you have enjoyed this article. If you want to know more about data or software relat...

I hope you have installed PintOS . Now it's time to move forward... In the first assignment we need to check and pass first six test cases of alarm. These are as under: alarm-single alarm-multiple alarm-simultaneous alarm-priority alarm-negative alarm-zero You will find them in " /tests/threads " directory. You need to make changes to " timer_sleep() " function in " timer.c " file under " devices " directory, to pass these tests. But first you should start learning from : here also I have a paper :  here After reading and understanding the reading material, you will be able to start coding!

So, to let you know the answer to this million-dollar question, I asked a Topper . He is kind enough to share the top  10 tips to get straight A's... and without further ado, let's get started...  10 TIPS Right From The Topper 1. Learn "How to Learn" Learning How to Learn is one of the most popular courses on Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn This course will make you a more effective learner, allowing you to make the best use of your study time. 2.

Data Analysis : Reading Habit Analysis

Image
Reading in the 21st century? Are you serious !!! Dr. Suess, an American writer once said: The more that you read, the more things you will know. But how? How to read so much! Why read? How to get motivated to read? If you are in search of these answers, then you are on the right page! In the quest to find the answer to the question: “What motivates you to read?”, I asked different people to respond to this question. Initially, I thought to write a simple article based on different responses I got. then I wondered if I could critically analyze the responses. Hm… critically analyze! but, how? Well, in this era when even kids are using Machine Learning for predicting the amount of Eidi they would get from their grandpa, why couldn’t we use Machine Learning for analyzing reading habit of different people. So, to get started with our analysis, we need some material. Things we need Dataset Machine Learning algorithms Kaggle.com And I think we wi...

I thought to collect reviews of 2020 graduates specifically of NUST and other IT universities. I am planning to add these to my blog post. Please take a few seconds to fill this form, thank you." So that was a brief story behind this whole thing, Now let's have a look at the most awaited questions and the corresponding responses...  Question#1:  Do you feel like a better hu...
