example for junk dimension:
consider a trade company which consists of fact about trading that take places in a share trading firm.in these there may be some facts like mode of trade(which indicates whether the user is trading through phone or online)which will be not related to any of the dimensions such as account,date,indices,amount of share etc.
so these unrelated facts are removed from the fact table and stored as a separate dimension as a junk dimension which will be useful to provide extra information
