Accuracies and Training Times of Data Mining Classification Algorithms:An Empirical Comparative Study

Two important performance indicators for data mining algorithms are accuracy of classification/ prediction and time taken for training. These indicators are useful for selecting best algorithms for classification/prediction tasks in data mining. Empirical studies on these performance indicators in data mining are few. Therefore, this study was designed to determine how data mining classification algorithm perform with increase in input data sizes. Three data mining classification algorithms—Decision Tree, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) Neural Network and Naïve Bayes— were subjected to varying simulated data sizes. The time taken by the algorithms for trainings and accuracies of their classifications were analyzed for the different data sizes. Results show that Naïve Bayes takes least time to train data but with least accuracy as compared to MLP and Decision Tree algorithms.

Data mining and well logging interpretation: application to a conglomerate reservoir

Data mining is the process of extracting implicit but potentially useful information from incomplete, noisy, and fuzzy data. Data mining offers excellent nonlinear modeling and self-organized learning, and it can play a vital role in the interpretation of well logging data of complex reservoirs. We used data mining to identify the lithologies in a complex reservoir. The reservoir lithologies served as the classification task target and were identified using feature extraction, feature selection, and modeling of data streams. We used independent component analysis to extract information from well curves. We then used the branch-and- bound algorithm to look for the optimal feature subsets and eliminate redundant information. Finally, we used the C5.0 decision-tree algorithm to set up disaggregated models of the well logging curves. The modeling and actual logging data were in good agreement, showing the usefulness of data mining methods in complex reservoirs.

Improving Decision Tree Performance by Exception Handling

This paper focuses on improving decision tree induction algorithms when a kind of tie appears during the rule generation procedure for specific training datasets. The tie occurs when there are equal proportions of the target class outcome in the leaf node＇s records that leads to a situation where majority voting cannot be applied. To solve the above mentioned exception, we propose to base the prediction of the result on the naive Bayes （NB） estimate, k-nearest neighbour （k-NN） and association rule mining （ARM）. The other features used for splitting the parent nodes are also taken into consideration.

Application of Data Mining and Process Knowledge Discovery in Sheet Metal Assembly Dimensional Variation Diagnostic

Sheet metal is widely used on auto-bodies, plane-bodies and metal furniture, etc. For instance, a typical auto-body commonly consists of hundreds of sheet metal stamping parts. Because of its complexity of structure and manufacturing process, auto-bodies inevitably have geometrical variation results from a number of different sources, such as the geometrical variation of stamping parts, the transformation of assembly process parameters and even the improper design concept. As more than 30% quality defects of an auto-body are born from the dimensional deviation of Body-In-White originated during the manufacturing process, effective diagnosis and control of dimensional faults are essential to the continuous improvement of the quality of vehicles. Especially during the period of new car launching or model changing when the assembly process was changed and adjusted frequently. For continuously improving the quality of modern cars, rapid dimensional variation causes identification becomes a challenging but essential work. In this paper, main variation causes of auto-body was firstly been cataloged and analyzed, then, a dimensional variation diagnostic reasoning and decision approach was developed through the combination of data mining and knowledge discovery techniques. This approach is driven by variation pattern identification which can be discovered from the dispersive, isolated massive measured data: Correlation Analysis (CA) and Maximal Tree (MT) methods were applied to extract the large variation group from massive multidimensional measured data, while multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) approach was used to discovery the principle variation pattern. A Decision Tree (DT) approach based on the knowledge of product and assembly process was developed to fulfill the "Hypothesis and Validation" characterized variation causes reasoning procedure. An practical application case with sudden and severe dimension variation on rear end panel in up/down direction was analyzed and successfully solved aided by the devloped variation diagnostic method, which have proved that the approach is effective and efficient.

Designing a Model to Study Data Mining in Distributed Environment

To make business policy, market analysis, corporate decision, fraud detection, etc., we have to analyze and work with huge amount of data. Generally, such data are taken from different sources. Researchers are using data mining to perform such tasks. Data mining techniques are used to find hidden information from large data source. Data mining is using for various fields: Artificial intelligence, Bank, health and medical, corruption, legal issues, corporate business, marketing, etc. Special interest is given to associate rules, data mining algorithms, decision tree and distributed approach. Data is becoming larger and spreading geographically. So it is difficult to find better result from only a central data source. For knowledge discovery, we have to work with distributed database. On the other hand, security and privacy considerations are also another factor for de-motivation of working with centralized data. For this reason, distributed database is essential for future processing. In this paper, we have proposed a framework to study data mining in distributed environment. The paper presents a framework to bring out actionable knowledge. We have shown some level by which we can generate actionable knowledge. Possible tools and technique for these levels are discussed.

Data mining of hospital characteristics in online publication of medical quality information

Information disclosure can reduce information asymmetry between health care providers and patients, thus improving both patient safety and medical quality. The National Bureau of Health Insurance (NBHI) inTaiwancurrently publishes health-related information online in order to enhance service efficiency and enable the public to monitor the country’s medical system. A data mining technique, classification and regression tree (CART), is used in this work to investigate online public quality information to compare the characteristics of hospital. The hospital quality indicators and characteristics data are available on the websites of the NBHI (http://www.nhi.gov.tw/AmountInfoWeb/Index.aspx) and the Department of Health (http://www.doh.gov.tw/). The full classification and regression tree presented in this work, grown using the hospitals’ quality medical indicators and characteristic values, classifies all hospitals into seven groups. The rate of stays longer than 30 days, which is the dependent variable in this study, is most influenced by the number of medical staff. This reflects the fact that the fewer medical staffs that are employed, the smaller the hospital is, and patients who are likely to have longer stays tend to go to the medium or large hospitals. Policy makers should work to decrease or eliminate persistent healthcare disparities among different socioeconomic groups and offer more online healthrelated services to reduce information asymmetry between health care providers and patients.

Data Mining for Flooding Episode in the States of Alagoas and Pernambuco—Brazil

The increasing volume of data in the area of environmental sciences needs analysis and interpretation. Among the challenges generated by this “data deluge”, the development of efficient strategies for the knowledge discovery is an important issue. Here, statistical and tools from computational intelligence are applied to analyze large data sets from meteorology and climate sciences. Our approach allows a geographical mapping of the statistical property to be easily interpreted by meteorologists. Our data analysis comprises two main steps of knowledge extraction, applied successively in order to reduce the complexity from the original data set. The goal is to identify a much smaller subset of climatic variables that might still be able to describe or even predict the probability of occurrence of an extreme event. The first step applies a class comparison technique: p-value estimation. The second step consists of a decision tree (DT) configured from the data available and the p-value analysis. The DT is used as a predictive model, identifying the most statistically significant climate variables of the precipitation intensity. The methodology is employed to the study the climatic causes of an extreme precipitation events occurred in Alagoas and Pernambuco States (Brazil) at June/2010.
