Data Warehouse

OLTP vs OLAP, ETL and multidimensional modelling. Rotate a live OLAP cube through roll-up, drill-down, slice, dice and pivot, and toggle a star vs snowflake schema.

Data Mining & Preprocessing

Data-mining functionalities, the KDD process and the major issues — then preprocessing: cleaning, integration, reduction, and a live normalization playground (min-max vs z-score).

Clustering

Run k-means step by step to convergence, explore agglomerative vs divisive hierarchical clustering and dendrograms, weigh the trade-offs, and detect outliers. Two concept videos.

Tip: keep all the DWDM_Unit_*.html files in the same folder as this page so the “Open unit” links work. Each unit is self-contained and runs offline (only fonts and the concept videos load from the web).
