Accounting, 3rd Edition Exam.
Chapter 1-3
Chapter 1.
What are the 6 steps in the IMPACT Cycle (data analytics process) –
1. Identify the question: asking the right question
2.Master the data: knowing the necessary data to answer the Q
3. Perform test plan: analyzing the data to find relationship btw in/dependent variables
4. Address and refine results: testing hypotheses, asking further and better Qs
5.Communicate insights: using static reports, digital dashboards, and data visualizations.
6.Track Outcomes: Digital dashboards and data visualizations are increasingly helpful.
Data analytics - DEFINATION - The process of evaluating big data to draw conclusions for business
questions.
Volume - DEFINATION - One of the characteristics of big data, referring to the large amount of data being
analyzed.
Variety - DEFINATION - One of the characteristics of big data, referring to the different types and sources
of data being analyzed.
Veracity - DEFINATION - One of the characteristics of big data, referring to the accuracy and reliability of
the data being analyzed.
Big Data Value - DEFINATION - One of the characteristics of big data, referring to the potential insights
and value that can be derived from analyzing the data.
pg. 1
,Velocity - DEFINATION - One of the characteristics of big data, referring to the speed at which data is
generated and needs to be analyzed.
Analyzing data - DEFINATION - The process of examining and interpreting data to identify patterns,
relationships, and insights.
Testing hypotheses - DEFINATION - A method of analyzing data by formulating and testing theories or
assumptions.
Asking further and better questions - DEFINATION - A step in the data analytics process that involves
refining and expanding the initial question based on the insights gained from analysis.
Digital dashboards - DEFINATION - Tools that display real-time data in a visual format, allowing for easy
monitoring and analysis.
Data visualizations - DEFINATION - Graphical representations of data that make it easier to understand
and interpret.
what is Classification - DEFINATION - An approach in data analytics that involves assigning units in a
population into categories.
what is Regression? - DEFINATION - A data approach that predicts a dependent variable value based on
independent variable inputs using a statistical model.
what is Similarity matching - DEFINATION - An approach in data analytics that identifies similar
individuals based on known data about them.
what is Clustering - DEFINATION - An approach in data analytics that divides individuals into groups in a
useful or meaningful way.
what is Co-occurrence grouping - DEFINATION - An approach in data analytics that discovers associations
between individuals based on transactions involving them.
pg. 2
, what is Profiling - DEFINATION - An approach in data analytics that characterizes the typical behavior of
an individual, group, or population by generating summary statistics about the data.
what is Link prediction - DEFINATION - An approach in data analytics that predicts connections between
data items.
what is Data reduction - DEFINATION - A data approach that aims to reduce the amount of information to
focus on the most critical items.
Data cleaning? - DEFINATION - The process of identifying and correcting errors or inconsistencies in data.
What is Analytics mindset? - DEFINATION - The ability to think analytically and approach problems from a
data-driven perspective.
Data quality? - DEFINATION - The measure of accuracy, completeness, and reliability of data.
Descriptive data analytics? - DEFINATION - The analysis of data to understand and summarize its main
characteristics.
Diagnostic data analytics? - DEFINATION - The analysis of data to determine the cause and effect of
certain outcomes.
Predictive data analytics - DEFINATION - The analysis of data to make predictions or forecasts about
future events or outcomes.
Prescriptive data analytics - DEFINATION - The analysis of data to provide recommendations or actions to
optimize outcomes.
Statistical data analysis competency - DEFINATION - The ability to apply statistical techniques and
methods to analyze data.
Data visualization - DEFINATION - The graphical representation of data to facilitate understanding and
communication.
