Introduction to Data Mining: Dimensionality Reduction Techniques

Dimensionality reduction includes techniques such as feature subset selection, feature creation, and attribute transformation.
Feature subset selection aims to reduce redundant and irrelevant features in the dataset.
Feature creation involves creating new attributes that capture important information more efficiently than the original attributes.
Mapping data to a new space can be achieved through techniques like Fourier transform and wavelet transform.
Discretization involves converting continuous attributes into ordinal attributes, commonly used in classification.
The Iris Plant data set, obtained from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, is used as an example to illustrate discretization.
Discretization methods include unsupervised and supervised approaches, as well as equal interval width, equal frequency, and K-means approaches.
Binarization maps continuous or categorical attributes into one or more binary variables, often used for association analysis.
Attribute transformation involves mapping the entire set of values of an attribute to a new set of replacement values using functions such as xk, log(x), ex, and |x|.
Normalization is a type of attribute transformation that adjusts differences among attributes in terms of frequency of occurrence, mean, variance, and range.
The goal of attribute transformation is to remove unwanted, common signals and adjust for differences among attributes.
These dimensionality reduction techniques are crucial for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of data mining tasks.
