The Music of Mathematics

The enchantment of rhythm is obviously felt in music,
the rhythm which is inherent in the notes and their groupings

"It is the magic of mathematics, this rhythm which is in the heart of all creation, which moves in the atom and in its different measures fashions gold and lead, the rose and the thorn, the sun and the planets, the variety and vicissitudes of man's history. These are the dance steps of numbers in the arena of time and space, which weave the maya of appearance, the incessant flow of changes that ever is and is not.

What we know as intellectual truth, is that also not a perfect rhythm of the relationship of facts that produce a sense of convincingness to a person who somehow feels that he knows the truth? … We believe any fact to be true because of a harmony, a rhythm in reason, the process of which analyzable by the logic of mathematics."
- Rabindranath Tagore

 

BASIC STATISTICS

Statistics helps in collecting, classifying and interpreting data that conveys information.

CHI-SQUARED TEST

The Chi-Squared Test of Association allows the comparison of two attributes (i.e. qualitative variables) in a sample of data to determine if there is any relationship between them.

LOG LINEAR ANALYSIS

Log Linear analysis is a very useful tool in multivariate set up to analyze the contingency table where the variables are of the qualitative type.

ANOVA / MANOVA

ANOVA or Analysis of Variance is an important tool in statistics which tests the significance of difference of means for two or more groups. A t-test is used normally when two groups of observations needs to be compared.

FACTOR ANALYSIS

Factor Analysis is an exploratory multivariate statistical method used to summarize the information contained in a large set of variables in terms of a smaller set of composite variables, called FACTORS.

CLUSTER ANALYSIS

Cluster analysis is an exploratory data analysis tool for solving classification problems. Its object is to sort cases (people, things, events, etc) into groups, or clusters, so that the degree of association is strong between members of the same cluster and weak between members of different clusters.

TEXT MINING

Text mining , also known as intelligent text analysis, text data mining or knowledge-discovery in text (KDT), refers generally to the process of extracting interesting and non-trivial information and knowledge from unstructured text.

DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS

Discriminant Analysis works by combining variables in such a way that the differences between predefined groups are maximized. The group membership must be known before using Discriminant Analysis.

CHAID

CHAID or Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detector is an exploratory method or more precisely an algorithm to study the relationship between a dependent variable and a series of predictor variables.

LINEAR REGRESSION

Linear Regression analysis is the simplest kind of regression analysis concerned with describing and evaluating the relationship between two variables. So it is basically a bivariate analysis.

GENERALIZED LINEAR MODEL

The Generalized Linear Model (GLZ) is a generalization of the general linear model.

TIME SERIES

A time series is a sequence of observations that are ordered in time.

NEURAL NETWORK

A neural network is a powerful data modeling tool that is able to capture and represent complex input/output relationships.
Testimonial
“I like this [Close Rate Time Series Analysis] tool. In general, it does what I am constantly pushing my staff to do - increase the value added to our clients. Personally, I always prefer to review data in a graphical way, and this is a great example ... Keep up the good work. I like that you are going beyond expectations and making recommendations. The best thing is that it shows that you have a much higher level of understanding of how end-users will be using the data.”
