This article will explore the two big players in the data processing game- OLAP and RDBMS. Different people have different opinions, understanding, and biases. Let us make a vis-a-vis comparison of the two technologies, OLAP and RDBMS. Part 1: Let us start with some definitions (yawn…) DBMS Database Management System...
Exploring OLAP with atoti and Pokemon
Analyzing Pokemon Fight Data — Which is the strongest Pokemon of them all? The Beginning My goal at the start of the project was to learn OLAP (Online Analytical Processing), preferably with an interesting dataset that wasn’t related to products, stores and sales. So I decided on Pokemon. After all,...

atoti v0.6.5: Make way for more intuitive programming
Comes with concise functional calls to improve your coding experience I remember when I first learned to program, I didn’t have a clue about classes, functions and variables, etc (in the case of Java back then). Silly old me thought variables must be named alphabetically, ranging from a to z...
Data Democratization
As a range of tools aimed at supporting data accessibility spring up, we explore data democratization within the larger trend of technology democratization. Neither technology democratization nor data democratization are new terms. LinuxInsider touched upon both during a 2011 podcast. Bernard Marr wrote about data democracy for Forbes in 2017....
Data analytics: Importance of time from project inception to output
Piyumal: on the road to streamlining legacy operations with atoti The atoti community is full of individuals who use atoti in new and exciting ways to solve day-to-day business problems. One member of our community who stood out to me was Piyumal W. In his atoti self-learning journey, I had...
Collateral Modelling and Simulation Using atoti and Machine Learning
See How we Use atoti to simulate and Visualize ML-Based Collateral Shortfall Predictions. This article is derived from a previous one available on our website around Collateral optimization. For context, we're copying here the first part of this article by Hui Fang Yeo. The scenario starts diverging at the 'What-If'...
Unravel price elasticity of demand with atoti
In this article, we will use the price elasticity of the demand-based model built with atoti to construe the relation between the quote price and policy sale for automobile insurance policies. Overview Price elasticity is the key to understanding product demand and how consumers react to changes in market price....
Dynamic Performance Analytics: Handling of non-linear aggregation
I am a quantitative analyst for ActiveViam. In this blog, I will provide an example of how to use Python to launch an in-memory analytics app to compute the cumulative rate of return interactively. You can download this example and play with it locally. It should be quite easy to...
