Lecture: 8
Instructor: Dr. Asma Abahussin
Department: Department of Biomedical Technology, College of Applied Medical Sciences, King Saud University

Objectives

Understand what data mining is
Learn the importance of data mining
Understand data mining techniques

Introduction

IoT/IoMT systems generate substantial raw data
Business owners need data-driven decision-making
Data mining is crucial for extracting maximum value from data and creating strategic business decisions

What is Data Mining?

Data mining is a subset of data science
Focuses on discovering patterns and key information from large datasets.
Relies on machine learning & statistical analysis

Data Mining Techniques

Classification:
- Divides data into predefined categories based on relevant information
- Useful in building predictive models
- Examples: Disease diagnosis, patient risk assessment
Clustering:
- Groups data points with similar characteristics into clusters
- Helps identify hidden patterns
- Examples: Patient segmentation, disease patterns
Regression:
- Establishes relationships between dependent (target) and independent (predictor) variables
- Useful for predicting outcomes or defining probabilities based on factors.
- Examples: Predicting treatment outcomes, resource utilization
Outlier Detection:
- Identifies data points significantly different from the rest of the dataset
- Helps detect anomalies and take appropriate actions
- Example: Unusual patient data monitoring (vital signs)

Are All the Patterns Interesting?

Data mining can generate many patterns, but not all are valuable
A pattern is considered interesting if it's:
- Novel (new)
- Potentially useful
- Valid on new or test data
Interesting patterns are instrumental in driving decisions.
