In Exercise 15, you are asked to find the transformations required to convert a non- linear model involving a power function into a linear regression model. Some models are intractably nonlinear (such as the sum of exponential terms, for example) and cannot be converted to a linear model. F[r]
Such agent relationships pose a business challenge. For instance, an insur ance company once approached Data Miners, Inc. to build a model to deter mine which policyholders were likely to cancel their policies. Before starting the project, the company realized what would happen if such a[r]
ABSTRACT: Customer satisfaction represents a modern approach for quality in enterprises and organizations and serves the development of a truly customer-focused management and culture. Customer satisfaction measures offer a meaningful and objective feedback about client’[r]
This paper presents a work of mining informal social media data to provide insights into students’ learning experiences. Analyzing such kind of data is a challenging task because of the data volume, the complexity and diversity of languages used in these social sites. In this study, we developed a f[r]
Chapter 10: Marketing research. In this chapter you will learn: Identify the five steps in the marketing research process, describe the various secondary data sources, describe the various primary data collection techniques, summarize the differences between secondary data and primary data, examine[r]
hypotheses that lead to patterns. These patterns may be logic, equations or cross-tabulations. Logic can deal with both numeric and non-numeric data. The central operator in a logical language is usually a variation on the ‘ if-then’ statement. By supervised learning paradigm deri[r]
• If you are a database novice, you should focus on reading Chapters 1 and 2 first. • If you feel that you are fairly proficient with database basics, you can safely skip Chapters 1 and 2. • If you are a home user, you are probably very interested in getting directly into learning[r]
54.6 Conclusions Collaborative Data Mining is more difficult the single team setting. Data mining benefits from adhering to established processes. One key notion in Data Mining methodologies is that of understanding (e.g. CRISP-DM contains the phases, busi[r]
65.1 Introduction In the data mining community, there are three basic types of mining: data mining, web min- ing, and text mining (Zhang and Segall, 2008). In addition, there is a special category called supercomputing data mining[r]

This chapter discusses state of the art and recent advances in both parallel and Grid-based Data Mining. Section 53.2 analyzes different forms of parallelism that can be exploited in Data Mining techniques and algorithms. The main goal[r]
Chapter 12 File management. After studying this chapter, you should be able to: Describe the basic concepts of files and file systems, understand the principal techniques for file organization and access, define Btrees, explain file directories, understand the requirements for file sharing,...
Yoshido explains that application of the APRIORI al- gorithm that mines the association rules from the given dataset is most popular among the researchers in data mining research area. Yoshido also believes that “the result of APRIORI algorithm involves association rules with contradic[r]
This manuscript exposes the essential considerations in water management of the applicability of data mining, artificial neural network and swarm of particles techniques, as an input for prediction and planning in the management, using artificial intelligence.
About the Authors Russell G. Congalton Russell G. Congalton has spent much of the last 20 years developing techniques and practical applications for assessing the accuracy of remotely sensed data. This work began in 1979 as an MS student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute [r]
In this chapter students will be able to: The revolution in internet marketing technologies, web transaction logs, tracking files, databases, data warehouses and data mining, customer relationship management (CRM) systems,...
In this chapter, we introduce the concepts of frequent patterns, associations, and cor- relations, and study how they can be mined efficiently. The topic of frequent pattern mining is indeed rich. This chapter is dedicated to methods of frequent itemset
The popular use of the World Wide Web has made the Web a rich and gigantic reposi- tory of multimedia data. The Web not only collects a tremendous number of photos, pic- tures, albums, and video images in the form of on-line multimedia libraries, but also has numerous photos, pi[r]
