PART A – (10 X 2 = 20 Marks)

1.Summarize the significance of EDA in data science.
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is a crucial initial step in any data science or machine
learning project. It involves analyzing and visualizing data to understand its key
characteristics, uncover patterns, and identify relationships between variables. EDA helps
data scientists to get familiar with the dataset, detect anomalies, and make informed decisions
about further analysis or modeling.

2. Name two software tools commonly used for EDA.

This article introduces you to some of the most-commonly-used EDA tools like LiveWire,
Multisim, Proteus and OrCad. Each tool has been explained here by considering a simple
as table multi vibrator circuit using timer IC 555.

3. How do histogram represent data?

A histogram is a type of graphical representation used in statistics to show the distribution of
numerical data. It looks somewhat like a bar chart, but unlike bar graphs, which are used for
categorical data, histograms are designed for continuous data, grouping it into logical ranges,
which are also known as "bins."
4. What is geographic data visualization in basemap?
Basemap is a toolkit under the Python visualization library Matplotlib. Its main function is
to draw 2D maps, which are important for visualizing spatial data. Basemap itself does not
do any plotting, but provides the ability to transform coordinates into one of 25 different map
projections.

5. State single variable.

A state variable is one of the set of variables that are used to describe the mathematical "state"
of a dynamical system. Intuitively, the state of a system describes enough about the system to
determine its future behaviour in the absence of any external forces affecting the system.
Models that consist of coupled first-order differential equations are said to be in state-variable
form.[1]
6. Interpret the role of boxplots in data visualization.
In the world of data analysis and statistics, visualizations play a crucial role in understanding
the underlying patterns and outliers within datasets. One such powerful visualization tool is
the boxplot, a box-and-whisker plot.
7. What is the purpose of analyzing contingence tables?
A contingency table displays frequencies for combinations of two categorical
variables. Analysts also refer to contingency tables as cross tabulation and two-way tables.
 Contingency tables classify outcomes for one variable in rows and the other in columns.

8. Outline the significance of handling several batches in

experimental design.
Batching is a technique in distributed systems that processes multiple tasks together. It
improves efficiency by reducing the overhead of handling tasks individually. Batching helps
manage resources and enhances system throughput. It is crucial for optimizing performance
in large-scale systems.

11 a Compare the significance of data analysis phase in exploratory data analysis

) with classical and Bayesian analysis.

Data analysis is a critical component of any research or business strategy, enabling

organizations to derive insights from raw data and make informed decisions. Among
the various techniques in data analysis, Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), Classical
Data Analysis (CDA), and Bayesian Analysis stand out for their distinct
methodologies and applications. This blog will delve into these three approaches,
highlighting their pros and cons, providing examples, and explaining where
descriptive, prescriptive, predictive, and diagnostic analyses fit into the picture. 1.
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Unveiling Data Patterns

Definition: EDA is an approach primarily focused on analyzing data sets to

summarize their main characteristics, often using visual methods. It emphasizes

understanding the data’s structure and identifying patterns, trends, or anomalies

without imposing any preconceived models.

 Process: EDA is a data-driven approach that emphasizes exploring the data to

uncover hidden patterns, identify relationships, and gain insights. Problem →

Data → Analysis → Model → Conclusion

Pros:

 Visual Insights: EDA utilizes graphical representations (e.g., histograms, scatter

plots) to provide intuitive insights, , facilitating pattern recognition.

 Flexibility: It does not impose deterministic or probabilistic models on the data,

allowing for a more organic exploration of patterns.

 Outlier Detection: EDA is effective in identifying outliers and anomalies in the

dataset.

 Data-Centric: Focuses on understanding the data before imposing models,

allowing for more insightful analysis.

 Model Suggestion: Helps identify appropriate models for further analysis based

on the observed data patterns.

Cons:

 Subjectivity: The conclusions drawn from EDA can be subjective and may vary

based on the analyst’s interpretations.

 Limited Predictive Power: While it provides insights into the data, it may not

always lead to robust predictive models. Primarily focused on understanding the

data, not on making predictions or prescriptions.

 Less Structured: Can be less structured than CDA, requiring more iterative

exploration and hypothesis testing.

 Subjective Insights: Insights drawn from EDA can be subjective, requiring

further validation with formal statistical methods.

Example:

In a sales dataset, EDA might reveal seasonal trends in sales volume through

visualizations, helping identify peak sales periods.Visualizing the relationship

between customer age and spending habits to identify potential market segments.

2. Classical Data Analysis (CDA): The Traditional Approach

Definition: CDA follows a structured approach to data analysis that involves

applying statistical models to understand relationships within the data. This method
typically begins with a defined problem and proceeds through a series of steps
leading to conclusions based on statistical analysis.
Process: CDA is a structured and systematic approach to data analysis, following a

predefined workflow:

 Problem → Data → Model → Analysis → Conclusion

Pros:

 Structured Approach: The systematic methodology ensures thorough analysis

and reduces the risk of oversight.

 Statistical Rigor: CDA employs established statistical techniques that provide

reliable insights and conclusions.

 Well-Established Techniques: Relies on established statistical methods, offering

a strong foundation for understanding data.

 Quantitative Focus: Emphasizes quantitative analysis, allowing for rigorous

statistical inferences.

Cons:

 Assumption Dependent: Results can be sensitive to the assumptions made

during modeling (e.g., normality).

 Less Focus on Data Exploration: The focus on predefined models may overlook

important patterns that could be discovered through exploratory techniques.

 Model-Dependent: Heavily reliant on pre-defined models, which might not

always accurately represent the underlying data patterns.

 Limited Flexibility: Can be less adaptable to complex or unstructured data.

 Risk of Overfitting: If the model is not carefully validated, it can overfit the

data, leading to inaccurate predictions.

Example:
In a study examining the impact of advertising spend on sales, CDA might use

regression analysis to quantify the relationship between these variables and draw

conclusions about optimal spending levels.

Analyzing customer demographics to predict product preferences using a linear

regression model.

3. Bayesian Analysis: Embrace Uncertainty

Definition: Bayesian analysis is a statistical method that incorporates prior

knowledge or beliefs (prior distributions) along with current data to update beliefs

through evidence. This approach allows for a more flexible interpretation of

uncertainty in data.

Process: Bayesian analysis incorporates prior beliefs or knowledge about the

problem into the analysis, updating these beliefs based on observed data.

 Problem → Data → Model → Prior Distribution → Analysis → Conclusion

Pros:

 Incorporation of Prior Knowledge: Bayesian methods allow analysts to include

prior distributions based on existing knowledge or expert opinion.

 Dynamic Updating: As new data becomes available, Bayesian models can be

updated seamlessly to reflect new insights.

 Handles Uncertainty: Effectively addresses uncertainty in data and model

parameters.

 Flexible Model Selection: Enables exploring a range of models and selecting the

most suitable one based on the data and prior knowledge.

Cons:
  Computational Complexity: Bayesian methods can be computationally intensive

and may require specialized software and require advanced statistical expertise.

 Subjectivity in Priors: The choice of prior distributions can significantly

influence results and may introduce bias if not carefully considered, making it

important to carefully consider prior knowledge.

 Complexity: Can be computationally intensive and require advanced statistical

expertise.

 Not Always Suitable: May not be appropriate for all types of problems,

especially those with limited prior information.

11 b Analyze the different types of data transformation techniques present in

) expioratory data analysis.

In Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), data transformation is a crucial step that helps
in better understanding the underlying structure of the data, improving the
performance of statistical models, and ensuring the assumptions of those models are
met. Here are the main types of data transformation techniques commonly used
during EDA:

1. Scaling

Scaling ensures that numerical features are on the same scale, which is essential for
many algorithms (e.g., KNN, SVM, PCA).

 Min-Max Scaling (Normalization)

Transforms values to a range between 0 and 1.
Formula:

Xscaled=X−Xmin⁡Xmax⁡−Xmin⁡X_{\text{scaled}} = \frac{X - X_{\min}}

{X_{\max} - X_{\min}}Xscaled=Xmax−XminX−Xmin

 Standardization (Z-score Normalization)

Centers data around the mean with unit variance.

Xstandardized=X−μσX_{\text{standardized}} = \frac{X - \mu}{\

sigma}Xstandardized=σX−μ

2. Encoding Categorical Variables

Categorical data must often be converted into numerical form.

 Label Encoding
Assigns a unique integer to each category. Suitable for ordinal data.
 One-Hot Encoding
 Converts each category into a binary vector. Used for nominal data.
 Binary Encoding / Target Encoding / Frequency Encoding
Used when there are high-cardinality categorical variables.

3. Logarithmic and Power Transformations

Used to reduce skewness, stabilize variance, or make the data more normally
distributed.

 Log Transform: Useful for right-skewed data.

X′=log⁡(X+1)X' = \log(X + 1)X′=log(X+1)

 Square Root / Cube Root Transform

 Box-Cox Transform: A family of power transformations that makes the data
more normal-like.
 Yeo-Johnson Transform: An extension of Box-Cox for data with negative
valu

4. Discretization (Binning)

Converts continuous data into discrete intervals or categories.

 Equal Width Binning: Divides data into bins of equal size.

 Equal Frequency Binning: Each bin has the same number of observations.
 Custom Binning: Based on domain knowledge.

5. Handling Missing Data

Not exactly a transformation, but critical during EDA.

 Imputation: Replace missing values with mean, median, mode, or use

model-based methods.
 Flagging: Add indicator variables for missingness.

12 a Apply density and contour plots to visualize sample three

) dimensional functions.
Density and Contour Plots

• It is useful to display three-dimensional data in two dimensions using contours or

color- coded regions. Three Matplotlib functions are used for this purpose. They
are :

a) plt.contour for contour plots,

b) plt.contourf for filled contour plots,

c) plt.imshow for showing images.

1. Contour plot :

• A contour line or isoline of a function of two variables is a curve along which the
function has a constant value. It is a cross-section of the three-dimensional graph of
the function f(x, y) parallel to the x, y plane.

• Contour lines are used e.g. in geography and meteorology. In cartography, a

contour line joins points of equal height above a given level, such as mean sea level.

• We can also say in a more general way that a contour line of a function with two
variables is a curve which connects points with the same values.

Changing the colours and the line style

Import matplotlib. pyplot as plt

plt.figure()

cp = plt.contour(X, Y, Z, colors='black', linestyles='dashed')

plt.clabel(cp, inline=True,

fontsize=10)

plt.title('Contour Plot')

plt.xlabel('x (cm))

plt.ylabel('y (cm)')

plt.show()

Output:

• When creating a contour plot, we can also specify the color map. There are
different classes of color maps. Matplotlib gives the following guidance :
 a) Sequential: Change in lightness and often saturation of color incrementally, often
using a single hue; should be used for representing information that has ordering.

b) Diverging: Change in lightness and possibly saturation of two different colors that
meet in the middle at an unsaturated color; should be used when the information
being plotted has a critical middle value, such as topography or when the data
deviates around zero.

c) Cyclic : Change in lightness of two different colors that meet in the middle and
beginning/end at an unsaturated color; should be used for values that wrap around at
the endpoints, such as phase angle, wind direction, or time of day.

d) Qualitative: Often are miscellaneous colors; should be used to represent

information which does not have ordering or relationships.

• This data has both positive and negative values, which zero representing a node for
the wave function. There are three important display options for contour plots: the
undisplaced shape key, the scale factor, and the contour scale.

a) The displaced shape option controls if and how the deformed model is shown in
comparison to the undeformed (original) geometry. The "Deformed shape only" is
the default and provides no basis for comparison.

b) The "Deformed shape with undeformed edge" option overlays the contour plot on
an outline of the original model.

c) The "Deformed shape with undeformed model" option overlays the contour plot
on the original finite element model.
12 b Apply seaborn technique to visualize sample statistical
) relationships.

Seaborn is a Python data visualization library built on top of

Matplotlib. It provides a high-level interface for drawing attractive

and informative statistical graphics. Seaborn enhances Matplotlib’s

functionality by providing:

 Statistical Plotting: Functions designed to work with statistical

data.

 DataFrame Integration: Directly accepts Pandas DataFrames

and uses their labels.

 Preset Styles: Built-in themes to make plots look more

professional.

Seaborn vs. Matplotlib

While Matplotlib offers flexibility, it can be verbose for statistical

plots. Seaborn simplifies this by:

 Reducing boilerplate code.

 Automatically handling DataFrame structures.

 Providing advanced statistical plots with simple function calls.

Visualizing Statistical Relationships

Understanding relationships between variables is crucial.

Seaborn’s relplot() function helps in visualizing statistical

relationships.

relplot() :

 Purpose: Visualizes relationships between two variables.

 Defaults: Creates a scatter plot using scatterplot().

 Other Options: Can create line plots using lineplot() by

setting kind='line'

Scatter Plot

A scatter plot displays the relationship between two numerical

variables using points. Let’s understand this by Visualizing Tips

Data :
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load the 'tips' dataset

df = sns.load_dataset('tips')
df.head()
# Scatter plot of total_bill vs. tip
sns.relplot(x='total_bill', y='tip', data=df, kind='scatter')
plt.show()

Differentiated between Smokers and Non-Smokers

Differentiated between Smokers and Non-Smokers

Differentiated between Smokers and Non-Smokers

Line Plot

Line plots are ideal for visualizing data over time or another
continuous variable. Let’s try to understand it better by visualizing

Flight data :

# Load the 'flights' dataset

df_flights = sns.load_dataset('flights')
df_flights.head()

# Line plot of year vs. passengers

sns.relplot(x='year', y='passengers', data=df_flights, kind='line')
plt.show()
 Plots the number of passengers over the years

Visualizing Categorical Relationships

Seaborn’s catplot() function helps visualize relationships involving

categorical variables.

catplot()

 Purpose: Plots categorical data.

 Kinds: Supports various plot types like strip, swarm, box,

violin, etc.

 Syntax: sns.catplot(x='categorical_var', y='numerical_var',

data=df, kind='plot_type'
13 a Explain about the numerical summaries of level and spread
) with necessary examples.
The two main types of summary are, summaries of the center of
the distribution and of spread.

The three major characteristics of the distribution for a quantitative

variable that are of primary interest are the center of the
distribution, the amount of dispersion in the distribution and the
shape of the distribution. A numerical summary is a number used
to describe a specific characteristic about a data set.
Univariato Analysis

Data Exploration and Visuallantion

Below are some of the useful numerical summarios

Center: Mean, median, mode

Quantiles: Percentiles, five number summaries

Spread: Standard deviation, variance, interquartile range

Outliers

Shape: Skewness, kurtosis

Concordance: Correlation, quantile-quantile plots.

Mean

This is the point of balance, describing the most typical value for
normally distributed data By "normally distributed data it means it
is highly influenced by outliers.

The mean adds up all the data values and divides by the total
number of values, as follows: Σ

The 'x-bar' is used to represent the sample mean (the mean of a

sample of data). Σ' (sigma) implies the addition of all values up
from 'i-1' until 'i-n' ('n' is the number of data values). The result is
then divided by 'n'.

Median

This is the "middle data point", where half of the data is below the
median and half is above middle data point", where half of the data
is below the median and half is above the median. It's the 50
percentile of the data It's also mostly used with skewed data
because outliers won't have a big effect on the median.

There are two formulas to compute the median. The choice of

which formula to use depends on n (number of data points in the
sample or sample size) if it's even or odd. Median *(n/2)+(n/2+1) 2

When n is even, there is no "middle" data point, so the middle two

values are averaged. Median X((n+1)/2)

When n is odd, the middle data point is the median.

Mode

The mode returns the most commonly occurring data value.

nivariate Analysis

Percentile

The percent of data that is equal to or less than a given data point.
It's useful for describing where a data point stands within the data
set. If the percentile is close to zero, then the observation is one of
the smallest. If the percentile is close to 100, then the data point is
one of the largest in the data set.

Quartiles (Five-number summary)

 Quartiles measure the center and it's also great to describe the
spread of the data. Highly useful for skewed data. There are four
quartiles and they compose the five-number summary(combined
with the minimum). The Five-number summary is composed of:

1. Minimum

2. 25th percentile (lower quartile)

3. 50th percentile (median)

4. 75 percentile (upper quartile)

5. 100 percentile (maximum)t

13 b) Examine the fading effects due to multipath time delay

spread and fading effect due to Doppler effect.
Fading Effects in Wireless Communications:
Multipath Time Delay Spread (MTDS):
- Causes: Multiple signal paths with different delays
- Effects:
- Symbol distortion and interference
- Frequency selective fading
- Increased error rate
- Mitigation techniques:
- Equalization (e.g., OFDM, adaptive equalization)
- Diversity (e.g., MIMO, spatial diversity)
- Channel coding (e.g., convolutional coding)

Doppler Effect:
- Causes: Relative motion between transmitter and receiver
- Effects:
- Frequency shift and spread
- Time-varying channel
- Increased error rate
- Mitigation techniques:
- Doppler compensation (e.g., frequency tracking)
- Adaptive modulation and coding
- Diversity (e.g., spatial diversity, polarization diversity)
Key Insights:
- MTDS causes frequency selective fading, while Doppler effect
causes time-varying fading
- Both effects can lead to increased error rates and decreased
system performance
- Mitigation techniques can help combat fading effects, but may
have limitations or add complexity
- Understanding fading effects is crucial for designing and
optimizing wireless communication systems

Relationship between MTDS and Doppler Effect:

- Both effects can occur simultaneously in mobile wireless channels

- MTDS can be more significant in static or slow-moving
 environments, while Doppler effect dominates in high-mobility
scenarios
- Interplay between MTDS and Doppler effect can result in complex
fading behaviors, requiring advanced mitigation techniques.
14 a i) Present any two diversity combining techniques state their
) merits.

Here are two diversity combining techniques, along with their

merits:

1. Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC)

- Merits:
- Optimal performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)

- Simple to implement

2. Equal Gain Combining (EGC)

- Merits:
- Simplified implementation compared to MRC
- Robust against phase errors and fading
- Provides good performance in non-frequency selective fading
channels
- Less sensitive to estimation errors

ii Explain the concept of diversity with CSI at the transmitter

) and derive the expression for the channel capacity.

Diversity with Channel State Information (CSI) at the

Transmitter:
Concept:
- CSI is available at the transmitter, allowing for adaptive
transmission techniques
- Diversity techniques combine multiple signals to improve
reliability and capacity
- With CSI, the transmitter can optimize the signal transmission to
maximize capacity
Types of Diversity:
- Spatial Diversity (multiple antennas)
- Frequency Diversity (multiple frequencies)
- Time Diversity (multiple time slots)
Channel Capacity with CSI at Transmitter:
- Expression: C = B * log2(1 + |h|^2 * P / N)
- Where:
- C = Channel Capacity
- B = Bandwidth
- h = Channel Gain
- P = Signal Power
- N = Noise Power
Derivation:
1. The transmitter adapts the signal power based on the CSI
2. The received signal is given by: y = hx + n
3. The signal power is optimized as: P = |h|^2 * P_max
 4. The channel capacity is given by the Shannon-Hartley theorem
5. Substituting the optimized signal power, we get the expression
for C
Key Insight:
- With CSI at the transmitter, the channel capacity can be
maximized by adapting the signal power to the channel conditions
- Diversity techniques can further improve the capacity by
combining multiple signals

15 a Demonstrate how the multicarrier system used to transmit

) data on parallel channel.

The multicarrier system, such as Orthogonal Frequency Division

Multiplexing (OFDM), transmits data on parallel channels
(subcarriers) through the following process:

1. Data Segmentation: Divide the data into N parallel streams.

2. Modulation: Modulate each stream onto a separate subcarrier,
creating a set of modulated subcarriers.
3. Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT): Combine the modulated
 subcarriers into a single signal using IFFT.
4. Cyclic Prefix (CP): Add a CP to the combined signal to prevent
intersymbol interference.
5. Transmission: Transmit the signal over the wireless link.
6. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT): At the receiver, separate the
received signal into subcarriers using FFT.
7. Demodulation: Demodulate each subcarrier to retrieve the
original data streams.
8. Data Reconstruction: Combine the data streams into the original
data.

By transmitting data on parallel channels (subcarriers), the

multicarrier system:
- Increases data rate
- Reduces interference and multipath effects
- Improves spectral efficiency
- Provides robustness against noise and fading
The multicarrier system efficiently utilizes the available bandwidth,
enabling reliable and high-speed data transmission over wireless
links.
15 b Analyze various method of reduction of peak to
) average power ratio and frequency and time offset in

Here are various methods for reducing Peak-to-Average Power

Ratio (PAPR) and frequency and time offsets in multicarrier
modulation systems:

PAPR Reduction Methods:

1. Clipping and Filtering: Clips signals exceeding a threshold,
followed by filtering to reduce out-of-band radiation.
2. Peak Windowing: Applies a window function to the signal,
reducing peak values.
3. Peak Reduction Carriers: Inserts carriers with opposite peaks to
cancel out high peaks.
4. Selective Mapping: Maps data to subcarriers with lower peak
values.
5. Partial Transmit Sequence: Divides data into multiple sequences,
reducing peak values.
6. Tone Reservation: Reserves a subset of subcarriers for peak
reduction.
7. Precoding: Applies linear transformations to reduce peak values.
Frequency Offset Reduction Methods:
1. Synchronization: Uses pilot signals or synchronization symbols to
estimate and correct offsets.
2. Frequency Offset Correction: Estimates and corrects frequency
offsets using algorithms like Schmidl-Cox or Moose.
3. Pilot Tones: Inserts pilot tones to estimate and correct offsets.
 Time Offset Reduction Methods:
1. Synchronization: Uses pilot signals or synchronization symbols to
estimate and correct offsets.
2. Time Offset Correction: Estimates and corrects time offsets using
algorithms like cross-correlation or adaptive filtering.
3. Guard Intervals: Inserts guard intervals between symbols to
reduce interference caused by offsets.
Combined Methods:
1. PAPR and Frequency Offset Reduction: Combines PAPR reduction
methods with frequency offset correction algorithms.
2. PAPR and Time Offset Reduction: Combines PAPR reduction
methods with time offset correction algorithms.
These methods can be used individually or in combination to
reduce PAPR and frequency and time offsets in multicarrier
modulation systems like OFDM, improving system performance and
reducing distortion.
