Type of
Data
Analysis
•What is happening?
Descriptive
•Why did it happen?
Diagnostic
•What is likely to happen?
Predictive
•What should I do about it?
Prescriptive
Both predictive and prescriptive analyses are more resource intensive and increase
complexity, but the value they provide is much greater than the value from descriptive
and diagnostic analysis

IoT Analytics Challenges
Too
much
data
The total amount of data
being collected may be so
large that it may not be
possible to move it over the
network to a central location
IoT Analytics Challenges
SecurityIf the security on a specific vendor’s
outdoor sensor is weak, and the sensor is
connected to other devices, the likelihood
of ‘indirect’ critical impact is high.
Attackers can compromise the sensor and
modify its data or exploit the connection to
other devices to cause damage.
IoT Analytics Challenges
Misbehaving
device These are devices or sensors that go
bad and begin sending false readings
to the system. For example, a low
battery, a software bug, or a hardware
failure, could cause such readings.
This could ruin the inventory of the
warehouse.
Conclusion
Class Activities
1.Take your Phone Camera, walk around in the campus and take any picture that you think can be
capture any data of it.
2.Present your finding in the class. The slide presentation should include what type of
categorization of data is your finding
and what is the challenge to do the analysis of it.
