    Study Notes

    Data Cleaning and Integration

    • Data cleaning (also called data cleansing) removes noise and irrelevant data from a dataset.
    • Data integration combines multiple, often heterogeneous, data sources into a common source.

    Data Selection and Transformation

    • Data selection chooses and retrieves relevant data for analysis.
    • Data transformation (or consolidation) formats selected data for mining procedures.

    Data Mining

    • Data mining extracts implicit, potentially useful information from large, incomplete, noisy, fuzzy, and random data.
    • It's a crucial step in the process.
    • It's a process for extracting implicit information and knowledge not known in advance from large, incomplete, noisy, fuzzy, and random data.

    Pattern Evaluation and Knowledge Representation

    • Pattern evaluation identifies interesting patterns representing knowledge based on given measures.
    • Knowledge representation visually presents discovered knowledge to users, using visualization techniques.

    Data Mining Tasks

    • Clustering: Discovers groups of similar data points without pre-defined groupings. Popular techniques include k-means and EM clustering. Clusters data elements into related groups without advance knowledge.
    • Classification: Generalizes known structures to apply to new data. Common algorithms include decision tree learning, nearest neighbor, naive Bayesian classification, neural networks, and support vector machines. Suitable for categorical or mixed data.
    • Regression: Models data using a function with the least error. Best used with continuous quantitative data (e.g., weight, speed). Linear regression uses a straight line formula (y = mx + b). More complex models (e.g., multiple regression) allow more than one input variable.
    • Association Rule Learning: Discovers relationships between variables (e.g., market basket analysis).

    Phases of the Data Mining Process

    • Data Preparation:
      • Data collection from existing systems or data warehouses.
      • Data collation: Removes noise, inconsistencies, and missing data, simplifying and generalizing to produce richer information.
    • Data Mining: Employs tools and techniques to identify patterns, rules, and trends. Core stage.
    • Information Expression: Uses visualization and knowledge representation to show results to users, facilitating decision-making.
    • Analysis and Decision-Making: Decision-makers analyze results to adjust strategies.

    Data Mining System Layers

    • Data layer: Database or data warehouse systems store mining results. Interface for all data sources.
    • Data mining application layer: Retrieves data, performs transformations, and processes data using mining algorithms.
    • Front-end layer: User interface for interactive interaction. Presents visualized data mining results.

    Decision Trees

    • Decision tree learning creates a decision tree model to map observations to conclusions.
    • Leaves represent class labels, branches represent feature conjunctions.

    Decision Support Systems (DSS)

    • Computer-based systems supporting business/organizational decision-making.
    • Includes knowledge-based systems, aiding in making rapidly changing, unspecified decisions.

    Data Mining and Privacy

    • Data preparation can reveal information compromising confidentiality and privacy, especially through data aggregation.

    Data Mining Using Neural Networks

    • Data preparation, rules extraction, and rules assessment are phases.
    • Neural networks imitate animal neurons structure.
    • Methods for neural networks include: statistical analysis, rough set, covering positive and rejecting inverse cases, formula found, fuzzy method, and visualization techniques.
    • Used for classification, clustering, feature mining, prediction, and pattern recognition

    K-Means Clustering

    • K-means is a clustering algorithm to group observations into related clusters (k) without prior knowledge.
    • Algorithm Steps:
      • Arbitrarily selects k points as initial cluster centers.
      • Assigns each point to the nearest cluster based on Euclidean distance.
      • Recomputes cluster centers.
      • Repeats steps 2 and 3 until clusters converge.
