How to Use Chaid Useful for Data Science Developers

-
CHAID

The Chaid is one of the most asked skills for Data Science engineers. The CHAID Analysis (Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection) is a form of analysis that determines how variables best combine to explain the outcome in a given dependent variable.

Chaid Model


  • The model can be used in cases of market penetration, predicting and interpreting responses, or a multitude of other research problems.

  • CHAID analysis is especially useful for data expressing categorized values instead of continuous values.

  • For this kind of data, some common statistical tools such as regression are not applicable and CHAID analysis is a perfect tool to discover the relationship between variables. 

  • One of the outstanding advantages of CHAID analysis is that it can visualize the relationship between the target (dependent) variable and the related factors with a tree


1. CHAID Analysis for Surveys


Analysis

  • Most survey answers have categorized values instead of continuous values. 

  • Finding out the statistical relationship in this kind of data is a challenge. 



2. CHAID Analysis for Customer Profiling


Profiling


  • Based on historical customer data, CHAID Analysis can be used to analyze all characteristics within the file. 

  • For example, product/service purchased, the dollar amount spent, major demographics, and demography of the customers, and so on. 

  • A blueprint can be produced to provide an understanding of the customer profile: strong or weak sales of products/services; active or inactive customers; factors affecting customers’ decisions or preferences, and so on. 

  • Such a customer profile will give the Sales & Marketing Team a clear picture of which type of person is most likely to buy the products and services based on factual purchase history, geo-demographics, and lifestyle attributes.


3. CHAID Analysis for Customer Targeting


Customer Targetting


  • Recruiting new customers via direct contact (phone or mail) is a time-consuming and costly effort.

  • For most products or services, the hit rate is less than 1%. That means, in order to get a new customer, over one hundred contacts are required.

  • By mapping the current customer list to a general population database (e.g., SMR Residential Database that contains 12 million listed households), CHAID Analysis can find the household clusters that have much higher incidence rates than the average.

  • By concentrating on these household clusters, the actual hit rate can be dramatically raised. The result is “Fewer phone calls or mail pieces with higher sales returns!”.

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...

5 SQL Queries That Popularly Used in Data Analysis

-
Image
 Here are five popular SQL queries frequently used in data analysis. 1. SELECT with Aggregations Summarize data by calculating aggregates like counts, sums, averages, etc. SELECT department, COUNT(*) as employee_count, AVG(salary) as average_salary FROM employees GROUP BY department; 2. JOIN Operations  Combine data from multiple tables based on a related column. SELECT e.employee_id, e.name, d.department_name FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id; 3. WHERE Clause for Filtering Filter records based on specified conditions. SELECT * FROM sales WHERE sale_date BETWEEN '2024-01-01' AND '2024-12-31'   AND amount > 1000; 4. ORDER BY Clause for Sorting Sort results in ascending or descending order based on one or more columns. SELECT product_name, price FROM products ORDER BY price DESC; 5. GROUP BY with HAVING Clause Group records and apply conditions to the aggregated results. SELECT department, SUM(salary) as total_salaries FROM employ...
