Abstract:
In this paper, we present one among many Big Data applications in real life. We explore classification using the J48 algorithm which implements the C4.5 decision tree for classification. We consider a study case on Burundi Schools of Excellence. We evaluate and analyze key factors in school results concerning promote excellence. In this we gain in deep comprehension how Big Data works, especially how classification can be useful for decision making in real life in daily activities including education. Big is useful in its different aspects and uses. Any institution can get its share in benefiting from science. During our case study in field, we have been given a basic grounding in Big Data Analysis and Methods to allow us to evaluate approaches. We here apply these theories and methods to decision problems and apply techniques to practical case studies in a problem-based learning.
