Study Notes
Why Data Mining?
- Large amounts of data are being collected and warehoused by businesses.
- Computers are now cheaper and more powerful.
- There is fierce competition in the business world, with a need to offer better and personalized services.
What Is Data Mining?
- Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery from data (KDD), is the process of extracting valuable and previously unknown patterns from large datasets.
A Multi-Dimensional View of Data Mining
- Data to be mined: This encompasses various data types including database data (relational, object-oriented, heterogeneous), data warehouses, transactional data, streams, spatiotemporal data, time-series, sequences, text and web data, multimedia, graphs and social networks, and information networks.
- Knowledge to be mined: The focus is on discovering patterns and knowledge through various data mining functions, such as characterization, discrimination, association, classification, clustering, trend/deviation analysis, outlier analysis, and more.
Data Mining Functions
- Generalization: This involves information integration, data warehouse construction, data cleaning, transformation, integration, multidimensional data models, data cube technology, and scalable methods for computing multidimensional aggregates. OLAP (online analytical processing) and multidimensional concept descriptions for characterization and discrimination are also key components.
- Association and Correlation Analysis: This involves discovering frequent patterns or frequent itemsets, such as items frequently purchased together. Correlation analysis delves into the relationships between items and their potential causality.
- Time and Ordering: This focuses on sequential patterns, trend and evolution analysis, including trend and time-series analysis, regression and value prediction, sequential pattern mining, periodicity analysis, motifs and biological sequence analysis (including approximate and consecutive motifs), similarity-based analysis, and mining data streams.
- Structure and Network Analysis: This involves graph mining, information network analysis, and web mining. Graph mining focuses on finding frequent patterns in subgraphs, trees, and substructures. Information network analysis explores social networks, including actor-relationship networks, multiple heterogeneous networks, and the semantic information carried by links (link mining). Web mining delves into the analysis of web information networks.
- Evaluation of Knowledge: Not all mined knowledge is valuable; some may only fit certain dimensions, may not be representative, or may be transient. Therefore, evaluating knowledge for things such as coverage, typicality, novelty, value, accuracy, and timeliness is crucial.
