For the following assignment, please include plenty of screen shots of the analysis results to use in the report.

Option #1: Northwind Data Mining and Statistical Analysis Project – Planning

The objective of this Portfolio Project is mining data from a data warehouse, which contains data from the Northwind database that was constructed during your installation of PostgreSQL.

Below are the summarized tasks for this Portfolio Project.

Data Warehouse:

• Create a data warehouse database, including the fact and dimension tables (star schema).
• Create the schema for each table.
• Populate the tables using either ETL (Pentaho) or SQL (PostgreSQL).

Preprocessing for SAS:

• Extract data from the data warehouse, creating a file for input into SAS. The format of the file is your choice. Ensure SAS University Edition accepts your selected format.

Statistical Analysis Using SAS:

• Import data created in the preprocessing step.
• Conduct statistical analysis using the appropriate statistics from each category:
  • Summary statistics
  • Classification
  • Clustering
  • Association
• Prepare an analysis report.

Using your plan prepared in Module 3, Milestone 1, and leveraging the data warehouse and preprocessing steps in Module 6, Milestone 2, complete the tasks under Statistical Analysis Using SAS.

Your analysis report must include:

• An analysis of each variable in the data set
• An analysis to determine which variables could serve as appropriate classifier variables
• An analysis to determine if any variables are candidates for clustering
• An analysis to determine if any variables have associations
• Any tables, histograms, or scatterplot graphs necessary to support your analyses
• A recommendation as to the suitability of this data set for meeting your organization’s business goal

Your project must meet the following requirements:

• Be 6-8 pages in length, not including the cover and references pages.
• Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with at least four fully developed paragraphs, and a conclusion.
• Be clearly and well written using excellent grammar and style techniques. Be concise and logical. You are being graded, in part, on the quality of your writing. If you need assistance with your writing style, you can find many writing resources in the CSU-Global Writing Center.
• Be supported with at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly references, and one citation from the course textbooks. You may also include references from credible sources in print and from the Internet. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find these resources.
