The term big data has come due to rapid generation of data in various organizations. In big data, the big is the buzzword. Here the data are so large and complex that the traditional database applications are not able to process (i.e., they are inadequate to deal with such volume of data). Usually the big data are described by 5Vs (volume, velocity, variety, variability, veracity). The big data can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. Big data analytics is the process to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, predict the future values from large and complex data sets. In this chapter, the following topics will be covered more in detail. History of big data and business analytics, big data analytics technologies and tools, and big data analytics uses and challenges.
The performance of students in higher education in India is a turning point in the academics for all students for their brightest career. In today's generation the amount of data stored in educational database increasing at a great rate. These databases contain secret information for improvement of students' performance; these data can be located at different nodes in distributed system. Classification and prediction are among the major techniques in Data mining and widely used in various fields. In this paper classification techniques are used for prediction of student performance in distributed environment. Data mining methods are often implemented at many advance universities today for analyzing available data and extracting information and knowledge to support decisionmaking. While it is important to have models at local level, their results makes it difficult to extract knowledge that can be useful at the global level. Therefore, to support decision making at this area, it is important to generalize the information contained in those models, specific classifier method can be used to generalize these rules for global model.
