Data science terminology

Application Programming Interface (API)
Collection of software routines, protocols, and tools which provide a programmer with all the building blocks for developing an application program for a specific platform (environment). An API also provides an interface that allows a program to communicate with other programs, running in the same environment. (BusinessDictionary.com)
Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science dedicated to solving cognitive problems commonly associated with human intelligence such as learning, problem solving, visual perception and speech and pattern recognition.

Artificial Intelligence System

A technological system that uses a model to make inferences to generate output, including predictions, recommendations or decisions.

Corpus
In linguistics, corpus is referred to as a large and structured set of texts. In the context of topic modelling, a corpus is a set of documents and each document is viewed as a mixture of topics that are present in the corpus. (wikipedia.org)
Data Science
Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods and algorithms to extract information and insights from diverse data types. It combines domain expertise, programming skills and knowledge of mathematics and statistics to solve analytically complex problems.
Deep Learning
Subset of machine learning that imitates the workings of the human brain in processing data and improves performance. Typically, a multi-level algorithm that gradually identifies things at higher levels of abstraction. For example, the first level may identify certain lines, then the next level identifies combinations of lines as shapes, and then the next level identifies combinations of shapes as specific objects. Deep learning is popular for image classification. (www.datascienceglossary.org)
Event
An event in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a notable occurrence at a particular point in time. Events can, but do not necessarily, cause state transitions from one state to another in state machines represented. (wikipedia.org)
Latent variables
Latent variables are variables that are not directly observed but are rather inferred (through a mathematical model) from other variables that are observed (directly measured). Mathematical models that aim to explain observed variables in terms of latent variables are called latent variable models. (datascienceglossary.org)
Machine Learning (ML)

"Machine learning is the science of getting computers to automatically learn from experience instead of relying on explicitly programmed rules, and generalize the acquired knowledge to new settings."

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Machine Learning Team (2018 report)
The use of machine learning in official statistics.

In essence, Machine Learning automates analytical model building through optimization algorithms and parameters that can be modified and fine-tuned.

Machine Learning Algorithms
Machine learning algorithms use computational methods to "learn" information directly from data without relying on a predetermined equation as a model. The algorithms adaptively improve their performance as the number of samples available for learning increases. (Mathworks.com)
Machine Learning Model
A digital representation of patterns identified in data through automated processing using an algorithm designed to enable the recognition or replication of those patterns.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Natural language processing (NLP) is a method to translate between computer and human languages. It is a method of getting a computer to understandably read a line of text without the computer being fed some sort of clue or calculation. In other words, NLP automates the translation process between computers and humans. (techopedia.com)
One-hot vector
In NLP, a one-hot vector is a 1 x N matrix (vector), made of 0 and 1, used to distinguish each word in a vocabulary from every other word in the vocabulary. One-hot encoding ensures that machine learning does not assume that higher numbers are more important. For example, 'laughter' is not more important than 'laugh' when both words are represented in the vector. (wikipedia.org)
Parsing
Breaking a data block into smaller chunks by following a set of rules, so that it can be more easily interpreted, managed, or transmitted by a computer. Spreadsheet programs, for example, parse a data to fit it into a cell of certain size. (businessdictionary.com). ML algorithms can also be used to parse data.
Poisson process

A Poisson Process is a model for a series of discrete events where the average time between events is known, but the exact timing of events is random. A Poisson Process meets the following criteria: (towardsdatascience.com)

  • Events are independent of each other. The occurrence of one event does not affect the probability another event will occur.
  • The average rate (events per time period) is constant.
  • Two events cannot occur at the same time
Python
A programming language available since 1994 that is popular with people doing data science. Python is noted for ease of use among beginners, and great power when used by advanced users, especially when taking advantage of specialized libraries such as those designed for machine learning and graph generation. (datascienceglossary.org)
R
An open-source programming language and environment for statistical computing and graph generation available for Linux, Windows, and Mac. (datascienceglossary.org)
Reinforcement Learning (RL)
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a sub-field of Machine Learning involving a controller (termed an agent) capable of taking actions in the form of decisions within a system. After each decision is made by the controller, the system evolves to a new state and the controller receives a measure of utility. By trial and error, the controller learns from its experience to optimize an action selection strategy that maximizes the expected cumulative utility within the system. RL is typically used to solve problems that can be modelled as sequential decision processes.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Robotic process automation (RPA) is the term used for software tools that partially or fully automate human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive. They work by replicating the actions of an actual human interacting with one or more software applications to perform tasks such as data entry, process standard transactions, or respond to simple customer service queries. (aiim.org)
Semantic
Semantics can address meaning at the levels of words, phrases, sentences, or larger units of discourse. In machine learning, semantic analysis of a corpus is the task of building structures that approximate concepts from a large set of documents. It generally does not involve prior semantic understanding of the documents. (wikipedia.org)
Stochastic optimization
Stochastic optimization methods are optimization methods that generate and use random variables. For stochastic problems, the random variables appear in the formulation of the optimization problem itself, which involves random objective functions or random constraints. Stochastic optimization methods also include methods with random iterates. (wikipedia.org)
Supervised Learning
A type of machine learning algorithm in which a system is taught via examples. For instance, a supervised learning algorithm can be taught to classify input into specific, known classes. The classic example is sorting email into spam versus non-spam. (datascienceglossary.org)
Unsupervised Learning
A class of machine learning algorithms designed to identify groupings of data without knowing in advance what the groups will be. (datascienceglossary.org)
Web scraping
Web scraping is a term for various methods used to collect information from across the Internet. Generally, this is done with software that simulates human Web surfing to collect specified bits of information from different websites. (techopedia)

Reasons why we ask the questions

Steps A to C and question 1 are used to collect contact information and determine who should be included on the questionnaire. They help us ensure that we have counted everyone we need to count and that no one is counted twice.

Questions 2 to 7 provide information about the living arrangements of people in Canada, the family size, the number of children living with one parent or two parents, and the number of people who live alone. This information is used for planning social programs, such as Old Age Security and the Canada Child Benefit. It is also used by municipalities to plan a variety of services such as day care centres, schools, police, fire protection and residences for seniors.

Questions 8 to 10 are used to provide a profile of the linguistic diversity of Canada's population. This information is used to estimate the need for services in English and French, and to better understand the current state and the evolution of Canada's various language groups.

Question 11 provides information on the number of people with Canadian military experience. Governments will use this information to develop programs and services to meet the changing needs of the Veteran population.

Questions 12 to 17 collect information in accordance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to support education programs in English and French in Canada.

    The law protects what you tell us

    4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

    Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

    This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

    The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

    The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

    The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

    Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

    Scheduled Services, Revenue Operating Statistics, Annual - Statement 10 (III)

    1. For the calendar year ending in December 2019, please provide the details of this business's scheduled services by sector of operation.

    Scheduled services - operating statistics

    Include fixed wing and helicopter services.

    Sector of operation

    Refers to the regions where carriers provide transportation services. There are three breakdowns - domestic, transborder (Canada-US) and other international.

    Domestic

    Includes operations between points in Canada.

    Transborder (Canada-US)

    Includes operations between points in Canada and points in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico).

    Other international

    Includes all other operations (including between points outside of Canada).

    Data reported must include both fixed wing and helicopter services, where:

    Fixed wing

    Means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, deriving its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions on surfaces which remain fixed. An aircraft having wings fixed to the airplane fuselage and outspread in flight - that is non-rotating wings.

    Helicopter

    Means a rotary wing, heavier-than-air aircraft, supported in flight chiefly by the reactions of the air on one or more power-driven rotors on substantially vertical axes. A helicopter does not have conventional fixed wings, nor is it provided with a conventional propeller for forward thrust.

    Scheduled services

    Transportation of passengers or goods, or both, by an aircraft provided by an air carrier that operates the air service and that, directly or indirectly, sells some or all of its seats or part or all of its cargo space to the public on a price per seat, price per unit of mass or price per volume of cargo basis.

    Enplaned passengers

    Refers to revenue passengers1 who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

    1 Revenue passengers correspond to passengers for which an air carrier receives remuneration and who are travelling with tickets purchased (a) under a publicly available promotional offer; (b) through a loyalty program or through the redemption of loyalty points or miles; (c) with a corporate discount or at a preferential fare; or obtained (d) as compensation for denied boarding. It excludes (a) passengers travelling for free, at a fare available only to persons who are employees or agents of an air carrier or are travelling on the business of an air carrier; and (b) persons, such as infants, who do not occupy seats.

    Passenger-kilometres

    Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.

    Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

    Flight stage A to B
    Number of passengers = 5
    Distance between points ( km ) = 161
    Passenger-kilometres = 805

    Flight stage B to C
    Number of passengers = 4
    Distance between points ( km ) = 322
    Passenger-kilometres = 1,288

    The total number of passenger-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

    Conversion factor

    To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.
    To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

    Hours flown

    Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

    Enplaned goods

    Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

    Conversion factor

    To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

    Goods tonne-kilometres

    Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

    Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

    Flight stage A to B
    Tonnes of goods = 5
    Distance between points ( km ) = 161
    Goods tonne-kilometres = 805

    Flight stage B to C
    Tonnes of goods = 4
    Distance between points ( km ) = 322
    Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

    The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

    Conversion factor

    To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.
    To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

    To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.
    To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

    Hours flown

    Represents the block hours, in other words, the number of hours which elapsed between the time the aircraft started to move to commence a flight and the time the aircraft came to its final stop after the conclusion of a flight. Report the total number of block hours flown to the nearest hour.

    Enplaned goods

    Refers to all types of non-passenger traffic. It includes priority freight, freight, mail and excess baggage for which revenue is obtained. Enplaned goods should be reported to the nearest kilogram.

    Conversion factor

    To convert pounds (lbs.) into kilograms (kg), multiply by 0.453592.

    Goods tonne-kilometres

    Represents the carriage of one tonne of goods on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Goods tonne-kilometres are obtained by totalling the number of kilometres flown with all tonnes of goods.

    Let's take an example with two flight stages, where:

    Flight stage A to B
    Tonnes of goods = 5
    Distance between points ( km ) = 161
    Goods tonne-kilometres = 805

    Flight stage B to C
    Tonnes of goods = 4
    Distance between points ( km ) = 322
    Goods tonne-kilometres = 1,288

    The total number of goods tonne-kilometres for the flights covering A to B and B to C is 2,093.

    Conversion factor

    To convert nautical miles (6 080 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.852.
    To convert statute miles (5 280 feet) into kilometres (km), multiply by 1.609344.

    4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

    Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

    This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

    The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

    The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

    The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

    Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

    The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

    4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

    Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

    This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS , are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

    The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

    The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

    The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

    Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

    The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

    4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

    Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

    This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

    The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

    The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

    The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

    Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.
