Classification Methods
Encyclopedia of Data Warehousing and Mining, Second Edition
Generally speaking, classification is the action of assigning an object to a category according to the characteristics of the object. In data mining, classification refers to the task of analyzing a set of pre-classified data objects to learn a model (or a function) that can be used to classify an unseen data object into one of several predefined classes. A data object, referred to as an example, is described by a set of attributes or variables. One of the attributes describes the class that an example belongs to and is thus called the class attribute or class variable. Other attributes are often called independent or predictor attributes (or variables). The set of examples used to learn the classification model is called the training data set. Tasks related to classification include regression, which builds a model from training data to predict numerical values, and clustering, which groups examples to form categories. Classification belongs to the category of supervised learning, ...

Study of Various Classification Algorithms using Data Mining
www.ijarst.com, 2013
Classification is the problem of identifying to which of a set of categories (sub-populations) a new observation belongs, on the basis of a training set of data containing observations (or instances) whose category membership is known. An example would be assigning a given email into "spam" or "nonspam" classes or assigning a diagnosis to a given patient as described by observed characteristics of the patient (gender, blood pressure, presence or absence of certain symptoms, etc.).In the terminology of machine learning, [1] classification is considered an instance of supervised learning, i.e. learning where a training set of correctly identified observations is available. The corresponding unsupervised procedure is known as clustering, and involves grouping data into categories based on some measure of inherent similarity or distance. An algorithm that implements classification, especially in a concrete implementation, is known as a classifier. The term "classifier" sometimes also refers to the mathematical function, implemented by a classification algorithm that maps input data to a category.
Application of Interactive Classification System in University Study Course Comparison
Informatics in education, 2015
The growing amount of information in the world has increased the need for computerized classification of different objects. This situation is present in higher education as well where the possibility of effortless detection of similarity between different study courses would give the opportunity to organize student exchange programmes effectively and facilitate curriculum management and development. This area which currently relies on manual timeconsuming expert activities could benefit from application of smartly adapted machine learning technologies. Data in this problem domain is complex leading to inability for automatic classification approaches to always reach the desired result in terms of classification accuracy. Therefore, our approach suggests an automated/semi-automated classification solution, which incorporates both machine learning facilities and interactive involvement of a domain expert for improving classification results. The system's prototype has been implemented and experiments are carried out. This interactive classification system allows to classify educational data, which often comes in unstructured or semi-structured, incomplete and/or insufficient form, thus reducing the number of misclassified instances significantly in comparison with the automatic machine learning approach.
Comparative Analysis of Classification Algorithms for Student Performance
This paper aims to present a model for the students performance. The predictive model was developed based on students performance in the second semester. Classification techniques from Data mining were applied to develop the models like Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SMO) and K-nearest neighbors (IBK). Comparative analysis is conducted on the three selected algorithms to find the best classification model. Moreover, this research also aims to find out the most influential subjects' grades on their study duration. Courses, gender, and grades that serve as the independent parameters to predict the dependent parameter. The resulting models of the three algorithms show no significant difference between Naïve Bayes and SVM performances, while K-NN has the highest performance. Basic subject's grades found to be the most influence parameter to the students' study duration, followed by general subjects, grades, gender, and major subjects grades parameters.
