With the development of the world and the changes occurring in the nature, the water resources are getting highly degraded. So the researchers have to do many investigations for monitoring the quality of water for various usages.
With regarding the above survey, they have conducted the studies examining the water quality by using wireless sensor networks. These networks were relatively affordable and allowed measurements to be taken remotely in real time and with minimum human intervention.
As they monitored air, forest and climatology, they were able to use wireless sensor networks. But in our project we are using wired sensor networks because we need high security, a high communication speed and long battery life as wireless sensor networks can get easily hacked and have a low communication speed and a short battery life.
In the above project although they have manage typical data visualizations, in our project we are managing the patterns of relationships between the water quality parameters. And also when compared with their data signal methodologies we require a low data rate where wireless sensor networks play a significant role in the connectivity because the image and video signals used by them requires a high data rate solutions.

KNN Algorithm

When do we use KNN algorithm? KNN can be used for both classification and regression predictive problems. However, it is more widely used in classification problems in the industry. To evaluate any technique we generally look at 3 important aspects: 1. Ease to interpret output 2. Calculation time 3. Predictive Power Let us take a few examples to  place KNN in the scale : KNN algorithm fairs across all parameters of considerations. It is commonly used for its easy of interpretation and low calculation time. How does the KNN algorithm work? Let’s take a simple case to understand this algorithm. Following is a spread of red circles (RC) and green squares (GS) : You intend to find out the class of the blue star (BS) . BS can either be RC or GS and nothing else. The “K” is KNN algorithm is the nearest neighbors we wish to take vote from. Let’s say K = 3. Hence, we will now make a circle with BS as center just as big as to enclose only three data points on the p...

What are the steps used in Machine Learning?

What are the steps used in Machine Learning? There are 5 basic steps used to perform a machine learning task: Collecting data : Be it the raw data from excel, access, text files etc., this step (gathering past data) forms the foundation of the future learning. The better the variety, density and volume of relevant data, better the learning prospects for the machine becomes. Preparing the data : Any analytical process thrives on the quality of the data used. One needs to spend time determining the quality of data and then taking steps for fixing issues such as missing data and treatment of outliers. Exploratory analysis is perhaps one method to study the nuances of the data in details thereby burgeoning the nutritional content of the data. Training a model : This step involves choosing the appropriate algorithm and representation of data in the form of the model. The cleaned data is split into two parts – train and test (proportion depending on the p...
