Question

List the characteristics of a data warehouse. ANSWER There are four key characteristics
which separate the data warehouse from other major operational systems:

Question
Discussion application of association analysis
ANSWER
Association analysis, also known as market basket analysis, has numerous applications in various fields.
Here are some of the popular applications of association analysis:

1. Retail sales: Retailers use association analysis to understand the buying behavior of customers.
By analyzing the purchase history of customers, retailers can identify the items that are
frequently purchased together and use this information to make informed decisions about
product placement and marketing strategies.
2. Cross-selling and up-selling: Association analysis can be used by companies to cross-sell and up-
sell products to customers. By identifying the products that are frequently purchased together,
companies can offer bundle deals and discounts to encourage customers to purchase more
products.
3. E-commerce: Online retailers can use association analysis to recommend products to customers.
By analyzing the browsing and purchase history of customers, online retailers can provide
personalized recommendations to customers, leading to an increase in sales.
4. Healthcare: Association analysis is used in healthcare to identify patterns and trends in patient
data. For instance, it can be used to identify the combination of symptoms that frequently co-
occur in patients, leading to the identification of potential diseases or conditions.
5. Fraud detection: Association analysis can be used in fraud detection by identifying patterns and
relationships in transaction data. For instance, it can be used to identify suspicious patterns of
purchases or transactions that are often associated with fraudulent activities.
6. Social network analysis: Association analysis can be used in social network analysis to identify
the relationships between individuals or groups. This can be useful in identifying influencers and
opinion leaders in social networks.

GOOD LUCK!
