Concepts and methods of 1. data mining and visualization

Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery (Knowledge Discovery in Databases,KDD), is the process of discovering patterns and other valuable information from large sets of data. Data mining technology combines the theories and methods of statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition and other disciplines, and can be used for a variety of data analysis tasks such as description, classification, clustering, association, prediction and so on. The main methods of data mining include: association rules, neural networks, decision trees, K-nearest neighbor algorithms, support vector machines, clustering analysis, main component analysis, etc.

Visualization refers to the process of transforming data or information into graphics or images so that people can understand and communicate more intuitively and effectively. Visualization technology makes use of human visual perception, which can highlight the important characteristics of data, reveal the internal structure of data, and find anomalies or laws of data. The main methods of visualization include: line charts, bar charts, pie charts, scatter charts, maps, network charts, dashboards, dashboards, heat maps, tree charts, radar charts, and so on.

Data mining and visualization are two complementary technologies, data mining can provide valuable data sources for visualization, visualization can provide intuitive results for data mining. The combination of the two can realize the all-round analysis and display of data and provide strong support for decision makers.

Application areas of 2. data mining and visualization

Data mining and visualization techniques are widely used in various fields, such:

-Sales and marketing: Through data mining, you can analyze customer behavior, preferences, satisfaction, etc., market segmentation, cross-selling, customer relationship management, etc. Through visualization, you can show sales, market share, customer distribution, competitive situation, etc., market monitoring, forecasting, evaluation, etc.

-Education and training: through data mining, we can analyze students' academic achievements, progress, potential development, etc., and carry out learning evaluation, personalized teaching, learning recommend, etc. Through visualization, students' learning trajectory, achievement distribution, knowledge structure, learning style, etc. can be displayed, and learning feedback, guidance, motivation, etc.

-Operational optimization: Through data mining, you can analyze business processes, resource utilization, cost-effectiveness, etc., process optimization, resource allocation, cost control, etc. Through visualization, you can display business status, resource distribution, cost composition, efficiency indicators, etc., for business monitoring, analysis, improvement, etc.

-Fraud detection: through data mining, you can analyze transaction data, user behavior, abnormal patterns, etc., for fraud identification, risk assessment, preventive measures, etc. Through visualization, you can display fraud events, risk level, loss amount, impact range, etc., fraud reports, warnings, disposal, etc.

Data Mining and Visualization Cases 4. Champ Consulting

In order to more specifically demonstrate how Shangpu Consulting uses data mining and visualization technology to provide customers with efficient and efficient market research services, this article selects the following cases to introduce:

-Case 1: Consumer insight into the Chinese market for an internationally renowned FMC company. Shangpu Consulting has collected a large amount of consumer data through online questionnaires, social media, e-commerce platforms and other channels, including basic consumer information, purchase behavior, brand preferences, use experience, satisfaction, etc. Using association rule analysis, Shangpu Consulting found the purchase patterns and preferences of consumers. For example, female consumers are more inclined to buy organic, natural and environmentally friendly products, while male consumers are more inclined to buy functional and effective products. Young consumers prefer to try new products and trendy brands, while middle-aged and elderly consumers are more loyal to traditional and well-known brands. Shangpu Consulting uses cluster analysis to divide consumers into different market segments, such as high-end quality, fashion trend, affordable economy, health and environmental protection, etc. Shangpu Consulting uses visualization technology to present the results of data analysis to customers in the form of dashboards, radar charts, tree charts, etc., clearly showing the portraits, needs, behaviors, attitudes, etc. of consumers, providing customers with in-depth consumer insights, and helping customers formulate product strategies, pricing strategies, and marketing strategies for different market segments.

-Case 2: Competitor analysis for a leading domestic online education platform. Shangpu Consulting collects competitors' data through web crawlers, public data, expert interviews and other methods, including competitors' basic information, product characteristics, market share, user evaluation, financial status, etc. Using decision tree analysis, Shangpu Consulting found the advantages and disadvantages of competitors. For example, the advantage of a competitor is that it has rich curriculum resources and excellent teacher team, but the disadvantage is that the price is higher and the user turnover rate is higher. The advantage of another competitor is lower price and higher user loyalty, but the disadvantage is lower course quality and lower market coverage. Champ Consulting uses principal component analysis to reduce the multidimensional data of competitors to two main dimensions, product power and market power, for easy comparison and evaluation. Shangpu Consulting uses visualization technology to present the results of data analysis to customers in the form of scatter charts, histograms, pie charts, etc., intuitively showing the relative position, advantages and disadvantages, market share, etc. of competitors, providing customers with accurate competitor analysis and helping customers formulate differentiated competitive strategies for different competitors.

-Case 3: China market entry strategy for a European car manufacturer. Shangpu Consulting has collected data on China's auto market through industry reports, policies and regulations, expert interviews and other methods, including market size, growth rate, structure, trends, opportunities, challenges, etc. Shangpu Consulting uses neural network analysis to predict the future development of China's automobile market. For example, China's automobile market will maintain steady growth, but the growth rate will slow down; China's automobile market will show diversified demand, especially for new energy vehicles, smart cars, luxury cars, etc.; China's automobile market will face fierce competition, especially from domestic brands and other foreign brands. Shangpu Consulting uses visualization technology to present the results of data analysis to customers in the form of line charts, histograms, maps, etc., clearly showing the current situation, future, opportunities, challenges, etc. of China's automobile market, and providing customers with effective Market entry strategy helps customers determine the target market, target customers, product positioning, channel selection, promotion methods, etc.
