Study Notes
Introduction to Data Mining
- NASA EOSDIS archives over petabytes of earth science data per year from remote sensors on a satellite.
- Data mining helps scientists in automated analysis of massive datasets and hypothesis formation.
- Opportunities to improve productivity and solve societal problems exist through data mining.
- Data mining involves the nontrivial extraction of potentially useful information from data.
- Data mining draws ideas from machine learning, AI, pattern recognition, statistics, and database systems.
- Data mining tasks include prediction methods and finding human-interpretable patterns in data.
- Classification tasks involve predicting credit worthiness and identifying intruders in cyberspace.
- Examples of classification tasks include categorizing news stories and predicting tumor cells.
- Classification applications include fraud detection in credit card transactions and churn prediction for telephone customers.
- Sky survey cataloging uses data mining to predict the class of sky objects based on telescopic survey images.
Introduction to Data Mining
- The class model is based on features like success stories, early class stages of formation, intermediate and late data sizes, object catalog, and image database.
- Regression is used to predict continuous valued variables based on other variables, with examples like predicting sales amounts and time series prediction of stock market indices.
- Clustering involves finding groups of similar objects, with applications in custom profiling for targeted marketing, grouping related documents for browsing, and reducing the size of large data sets.
- Market segmentation and document clustering are applications of clustering, aimed at subdividing markets and finding groups of similar documents, respectively.
- Association rule discovery involves producing dependency rules to predict the occurrence of an item based on occurrences of other items, with applications in market-basket analysis, telecommunication alarm diagnosis, and medical informatics.
- An example of association analysis is the subspace differential coexpression pattern, enriched with the TNF/NFB signaling pathway, related to lung cancer.
- Deviation/anomaly/change detection is used to detect significant deviations from normal behavior, with applications in credit card fraud detection, network intrusion detection, and identifying abnormal behavior from sensor networks.
- The motivating challenges in data mining include scalability, high dimensionality, heterogeneous and complex data, data ownership and distribution, and non-traditional analysis.
