Big data is an unstructured data set with a considerable volume, coming from various sources such as the internet, business organizations, etc., in various formats. Predicting consumer behavior is a core responsibility for most dealers. Market research can show consumer intentions; it can be a big order for a best-designed research project to penetrate the veil, protecting real customer motivations from closer scrutiny. Customer behavior usually focuses on customer data mining, and each model is structured at one stage to answer one query. Customer behavior prediction is a complex and unpredictable challenge. In this paper, advanced mathematical and big data analytical (BDA) methods to predict customer behavior. Predictive behavior analytics can provide modern marketers with multiple insights to optimize efforts in their strategies. This model goes beyond analyzing historical evidence and making the most knowledgeable assumptions about what will happen in the future using mathematical. Because the method is complex, it is quite straightforward for most customers. As a result, most consumer behavior models, so many variables that produce predictions that are usually quite accurate using big data. This paper attempts to develop a model of association rule mining to predict customers’ behavior, improve accuracy, and derive major consumer data patterns. The finding recommended BDA method improves Big data analytics usability in the organization (98.2%), risk management ratio (96.2%), operational cost (97.1%), customer feedback ratio (98.5%), and demand prediction ratio (95.2%).

The goal of the study was to identify big data analysis issues that can impact empirical research in the healthcare industry. To accomplish that the author analyzed big data related keywords from a literature review of peer reviewed journal articles published since 2011. Topics, methods and techniques were summarized along with strengths and weaknesses. A panel of subject matter experts was interviewed to validate the intermediate results and synthesize the key problems that would likely impact researchers conducting quantitative big data analysis in healthcare studies. The systems thinking action research method was applied to identify and describe the hidden issues. The findings were similar to the extant literature but three hidden fatal issues were detected. Methodical and statistical control solutions were proposed to overcome the three fatal healthcare big data analysis issues.

Tourism is one of the most important sectors contributing towards the economic growth of India. Big data analytics in the recent times is being applied in the tourism sector for the activities like tourism demand forecasting, prediction of interests of tourists’, identification of tourist attraction elements and behavioural patterns. The major objective of this study is to demonstrate how big data analytics could be applied in predicting the travel behaviour of International and Domestic tourists. The significance of machine learning algorithms and techniques in processing the big data is also important. Thus, the combination of machine learning and big data is the state-of-art method which has been acclaimed internationally. While big data analytics and its application with respect to the tourism industry has attracted few researchers interest in the present times, there have been not much researches on this area of study particularly with respect to the scenario of India. This study intends to describe how big data analytics could be used in forecasting Indian tourists travel behaviour. To add much value to the research this study intends to categorize on what grounds the tourists chose domestic tourism and on what grounds they chose international tourism. The online datasets on places reviews from cities namely Chicago, Beijing, New York, Dubai, San Francisco, London, New Delhi and Shanghai have been gathered and an associative rule mining based algorithm has been applied on the data set in order to attain the objectives of the study

In this digital world, as organizations are evolving rapidly with data centric asset the explosion of data and size of the databases have been growing exponentially. Data is generated from different sources like business processes, transactions, social networking sites, web servers, etc. and remains in structured as well as unstructured form. The term ― Big data is used for large data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data varies in size ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of data in a single data set. Difficulties include capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics and visualizing. Big data is available in structured, unstructured and semi-structured data format. Relational database fails to store this multi-structured data. Apache Hadoop is efficient, robust, reliable and scalable framework to store, process, transforms and extracts big data. Hadoop framework is open source and fee software which is available at Apache Software Foundation. In this paper we will present Hadoop, HDFS, Map Reduce and c-means big data algorithm to minimize efforts of big data analysis using Map Reduce code. The objective of this paper is to summarize the state-of-the-art efforts in clinical big data analytics and highlight what might be needed to enhance the outcomes of clinical big data analytics tools and related fields.

PurposeThis paper aims to examine how the extant publication has related big data analytics (BDA) to supply chain planning (SCP). The paper presents a conceptual model based on the reviewed articles and the dominant research gaps and outlines the research directions for future advancement.Design/methodology/approachBased on a systematic literature review, this study analysed 72 journal articles and reported the descriptive and thematic analysis in assessing the established body of knowledge.FindingsThis study reveals the fact that literature on relating BDA to SCP has an ambiguous use of BDA-related terminologies and a siloed view on SCP processes that primarily focuses on the short-term. Looking at the big data sources, the objective of adopting BDA and changes to SCP, we identified three roles of big data and BDA for SCP: supportive facilitator, source of empowerment and game-changer. It bridges the conversation between BDA technology for SCP and its management issues in organisations and supply chains according to the technology-organisation-environmental framework.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper presents a comprehensive examination of existing literature on relating BDA to SCP. The resulted themes and research opportunities will help to advance the understanding of how BDA will reshape the future of SCP and how to manage BDA adoption towards a big data-driven SCP.Originality/valueThis study is unique in its discussion on how BDA will reshape SCP integrating the technical and managerial perspectives, which have not been discussed to date.

Big data analytics is a field in which we analyse and process information from large or convoluted data sets to be managed by methods of data-processing. Big data analytics is used in analysing the data and helps in predicting the best outcome from the data sets. Big data analytics can be very useful in predicting crime and also gives the best possible solution to solve that crime. In this system we will be using the past crime data set to find out the pattern and through that pattern we will be predicting the range of the incident. The range of the incident will be determined by the decision model and according to the range the prediction will be made. The data sets will be nonlinear and in the form of time series so in this system we will be using the prophet model algorithm which is used to analyse the non-linear time series data. The prophet model categories in three main category and i.e. trends, seasonality, and holidays. This system will help crime cell to predict the possible incident according to the pattern which will be developed by the algorithm and it also helps to deploy right number of resources to the highly marked area where there is a high chance of incidents to occur. The system will enhance the crime prediction system and will help the crime department to use their resources more efficiently.

AbstractBig Data Analytics (BDA) usage in the industry has been increased markedly in recent years. As a data-driven tool to facilitate informed decision-making, the need for BDA capability in organizations is recognized, but few studies have communicated an understanding of BDA capabilities in a way that can enhance our theoretical knowledge of using BDA in the organizational domain. Big Data has been defined in various ways and, the past literature about the classification of BDA and its capabilities is explored in this research. We conducted a literature review using PRISMA methodology and integrated a thematic analysis using NVIVO12. By adopting five steps of the PRISMA framework—70 sample articles, we generate five themes, which are informed through organization development theory, and develop a novel empirical research model, which we submit for validity assessment. Our findings improve effectiveness and enhance the usage of BDA applications in various Organizations.
