Study Notes

Data Mining in Biomedicine: Steps to Take

  • Data mining in biomedicine uses a multi-step approach integrating various techniques from statistics, machine learning, and computational biology to extract valuable insights

General Steps in Data Mining

  • Data collection:

    • Source Identification: Identify the appropriate data source, such as TCGA (matched tumor-normal data), GTEx (normal tissue expression), or LINCS (perturbagen information)
    • Data Acquisition: Obtain the data while considering existing infrastructure and analysis capabilities

  • Data Preprocessing:

    • Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Exploring the data characteristics like calculating basic statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance, minimum, maximum), analyzing data distribution, and discovering relationships between variables using correlation matrices or scatter plots.
    • Data Cleaning: Aimed at improving the quality of data by handling missing data (imputation, deletion, using algorithms), removing duplicates, standardizing data formats, addressing inconsistencies, removing irrelevant data, fixing structural errors and addressing noise

  • Data Transformation: Changing the format, structure, or values of raw data to make it suitable for analysis and modelling. Includes:

    • Aggregation: Summarizing data to give an overview or reduce data points
    • Discretization: Converting continuous values to discrete intervals or categories
    • Smoothing: Removing data noise to show patterns more clearly
    • Feature Construction: Creating new features from existing features
    • Data Encoding: Converting categorical variables to numerical values
    • Data Reduction: Removing irrelevant or redundant features (lowering dimensionality)
    • Log Transformation: Applying a logarithmic scale, useful for exponential growth or skewed distributions
