To Start the Topic of Data-Mining
By AKIRA IMADA (September 2005)
What is Data-Mining?
Data is not a knowledge but just a set of data. To simply put,
Data Mining is a technique to extract a knowledge from a set of data.
Well, as a start, to have an idea of what is Data-Mining
a little more in detail, try to explore the following two documents
which I have collected by surfing Internet web site via google.
- From Web-documents in HTML format
- From Articless in PDF format
Not totally different but a more specifiñ target --- Text-Mining.
Let's give it a try!
In order to try a very elementary approach, it might be good to exploit "C4.5 Rule" which
is well established method. To learn what is C4.5 Rule, explore the following
Web-documents in HTML format.
Then one of the good target data set might be "IRIS flower data set" which is made up of 150 4-dimensional continuous data
or 4 diffrent families of IRIS flower.
Apprication to Financial Phenomena.
(Now under construction though, you might explore some of the followings.)
- General financial problems
Apprication to Medical Database.
