In week 3, we were supposed to prepare the project proposal and the plan
1. Research Questions
To generate the project report with detailed information about the algorithms used in big data analytics, I’m supposed to carry out a comprehensive research on the following areas.
- What are the Methodologies and algorithmic analysis used in ML to organise the data?
- What are the Machine Learning algorithms used to analyse and generate information?
- The research would be mainly focused on the commonly used algorithms in the field. In these algorithms, I would be detailed analyse on the requirements to use the selected algorithm and what specific outcome can be generated using the selected algorithm. Some of the algorithms that would be researched are listed below.
K-Means Clustering Algorithm Linear Regression Algorithms
Association Rule Mining Algorithm Regression Algorithms
Support vector machine (SVM)
2. Conceptual or theoretical framework
In the research, I will be using ‘qualitative theoretical framework’ as the research framework. This approach would aid me have a wide understanding about the area and be able to gain knowledge from previously carried out research projects. The research projects that are being used in this project, are from expertise that have carried out comprehensive research in the particular area which would help to me understand, learn and research in depth about my selected topic.
3. Methodology
5.1 Research data collection and analysis
In this research project, a detailed analysis would be carried out on 12-15 previously published research papers and journal articles from different authors. These research projects should have adequate information on the area and should be relevant to my research since my research project is mainly a theoretical framework project depending on these selected projects. The selected resources would be analysed and a critique would be documented in the project with an informative research paper on algorithms as the final outcome of the project.
5.2 Sample research papers
The following are two of the research papers that I intend to use in my project.
Bhargavi, P. (2018). Machine Learning Algorithms in Big data Analytics. Research Gate.
Bruce, S., Li, Z., Yang, H.-C., & Mukhopadhyay, S. (2019). Nonparametric Distributed Learning Architecture for Big Data: Algorithm and Applications. IEEE Xplore .
5.3 Research Method
The planned research project is ‘a qualitative framework project’ with consist of analysis of other research papers. In my research I would not be introducing new algorithms or frameworks but to analyse and construct a comprehensive report with existing algorithms. Therefore, the research method using would be ‘report analysis research method’
For the research project, a project plan was created with the tasks that have to be completed in order to successfully complete the project.
The tasks and the estimated dates are shown below.
