The related terms data dredging, data fishing, and data snooping refer to the use of data mining methods to sample parts of a larger population data set that are (or may be) too small for reliable statistical inferences to be made about the validity of any patterns discovered. These methods can, however, be used in creating new hypotheses to ...
Spatial data mining is the application of data mining methods to spatial data. The end objective of spatial data mining is to find patterns in data with respect to geography. So far, data mining and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have existed as two separate technologies, each with its own methods, traditions, and approaches to ...
The Modify phase contains methods to select, create and transform variables in preparation for data modeling. Model. In the Model phase the focus is on applying various modeling (data mining) techniques on the prepared variables in order to create models that possibly provide the desired outcome. Assess. The last phase is Assess.
C4.5 is an algorithm used to generate a decision tree developed by Ross Quinlan. [1] C4.5 is an extension of Quinlan's earlier ID3 algorithm.The decision trees generated by C4.5 can be used for classification, and for this reason, C4.5 is often referred to as a statistical classifier.
Machine learning and data mining often employ the same methods and overlap significantly, but while machine learning focuses on prediction, based on known properties learned from the training data, data mining focuses on the discovery of (previously) unknown properties in the data (this is the analysis step of knowledge discovery in databases).
Various data mining functions and techniques like statistical classification and association, regression analysis, data clustering, and attribute importance are covered by the 1.0 release of this standard. It never received wide acceptance, and there is no known implementation. See also. Predictive Model Markup Language; Books
Apriori [1] is an algorithm for frequent item set mining and association rule learning over relational databases.It proceeds by identifying the frequent individual items in the database and extending them to larger and larger item sets as long as those item sets appear sufficiently often in the database.
Decision tree learning is a method commonly used in data mining. [3] The goal is to create a model that predicts the value of a target variable based on several input variables. A decision tree is a simple representation for classifying examples.
