Data Mining - Module I Notes (Based on Reference Textbooks)

**1. Introduction to Data Mining** (Han & Kamber, Tan et al.):

- **What is Data Mining?**

- A process of extracting hidden patterns from large data sets.

- Integrates techniques from statistics, machine learning, database systems.

**2. Data Mining Tasks** (Han & Kamber):

- **Classification:** Assigning items to predefined categories.

- **Prediction:** Forecasting future data trends.

- **Cluster Analysis:** Grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group are

more similar to each other.

- **Association Rule Mining:** Discovering interesting relations between variables.

- **Outlier Detection**

**3. KDD Process** (Tan et al.):

- **Steps:**

1. Selection

2. Preprocessing

3. Transformation

4. Data Mining

5. Interpretation/Evaluation

**4. Data Mining Functionalities** (Han & Kamber):

- Finding patterns, associations, correlations, trends.

- Classifying and predicting outcomes.


**5. Classification of Data Mining Systems**:

- Based on the type of data (relational, transactional, spatial, multimedia, time-series).

- Based on the kind of knowledge mined (characterization, discrimination, association).

- Based on the techniques used (machine learning, statistics, visualization, database-oriented).

**6. Issues in Data Mining**:

- Handling noisy and incomplete data

- Performance and scalability

- Integration of data mining with databases

- Data ownership and privacy issues

**7. Data Objects and Attribute Types**:

- **Nominal:** Categories with no order (e.g., hair color)

- **Binary:** Two categories (e.g., true/false)

- **Ordinal:** Categories with a meaningful order (e.g., small, medium, large)

- **Numeric:**

- **Interval:** No true zero (e.g., temperature)

- **Ratio:** True zero exists (e.g., age)

**8. Central Tendency Measures** (Han & Kamber):

- **Mean:** Average value

- **Median:** Middle value

- **Mode:** Most frequent value

**9. Data Warehousing Concepts** (Paulraj Ponnaiah, Sam Anahory):

- **Definition:** A subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, and non-volatile collection of data.

- **Multidimensional Data Models:**


- **Data Cubes:** Allow data to be modeled and viewed in multiple dimensions.

- **Schemas:**

- **Star Schema**

- **Snowflake Schema**

- **Fact Constellation**

10. Reference Texts Used:
