Background Data Source Methodology
Source

For the project, Land Transport Authority (LTA) provides the data sets through LARC research labs. The dataset is a weeks’ worth of smart card (EZ-Link) transaction used in Singapore’s public transport. The data consist of both bus and also MRT transaction. For this project we will require only MRT transactions.

Tool used

For data preparation, descriptive statistics, we use SAS JMP Pro and SAS Enterprise Guide. We used both tools as we are familiar with SAS Enterprise Guide as the Analytics Foundation course uses SAS Enterprise Guide; therefore we are well versed in the tool. We use SAS JMP Pro as recommended by our project supervisor as a faster alternative. However, as we use both tools interchangeable as fit the task.

For the data-mining portion, we will use SAS Enterprise Miner as the tool for time series data mining.
