Data Warehousing and Data Mining (CSC-451)
B.Sc. CSIT 8th Semester
Model Questions
Candidates are required to give their answers in their own words as far as practicable. The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
Group A
Long Answer Questions (Attempt any TWO)                                                                                      [2×10=20]

1.       Suppose that a data warehouse for Big University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester and instructor and two measures count and avg-grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g. for a given student, course, semester and instructor combination), the avg-grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels avg-grade stores the average grade for the given combination.
aa.)      Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse.
bb.)      Starting with base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor] what specific OLAP operations (e.g. roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS course for each Big University Student.
cc.)       If each dimension has five levels (including all) such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

2.       A= {A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6}, assume σ=35% use a priori algorithm to get the desired solution.
