Data Warehousing and Mining (DWM) is the science of managing and analyzing large datasets and discovering novel patterns and in recent years has emerged as a particularly exciting and industrially relevant area of research. Prodigious amounts of data are now being generated in domains as diverse as market research, functional genomics and pharmaceuticals; intelligently analyzing these data, with the aim of answering crucial questions and helping make informed decisions, is the challenge that lies ahead. The Encyclopedia of Data Warehousing and Mining provides a comprehensive, critical and descriptive examination of concepts, issues, trends, and challenges in this rapidly expanding field of data warehousing and mining (DWM). This encyclopedia consists of more than 350 contributors from 32 countries, 1,800 terms and definitions, and more than 4,400 references. This authoritative publication offers in-depth coverage of evolutions, theories, methodologies, functionalities, and applications of DWM in such interdisciplinary industries as healthcare informatics, artificial intelligence, financial modeling, and applied statistics, making it a single source of knowledge and latest discoveries in the field of DWM.
In recent years, the science of managing and analyzing large datasets has emerged as a critical area of research. In the race to answer vital questions and make knowledgeable decisions, impressive amounts of data are now being generated at a rapid pace, increasing the opportunities and challenges associated with the ability to effectively analyze this data.
There are more than one billion documents on the Web, with the count continually rising at a pace of over one million new documents per day. As information increases, the motivation and interest in data warehousing and mining research and practice remains high in organizational interest. The Encyclopedia of Data Warehousing and Mining, Second Edition, offers thorough exposure to the issues of importance in the rapidly changing field of data warehousing and mining. This essential reference source informs decision makers, problem solvers, and data mining specialists in business, academia, government, and other settings with over 300 entries on theories, methodologies, functionalities, and applications.
"This book provides insight into the latest findings concerning data warehousing, data mining, and their applications in everyday human activities"--Provided by publisher.
"The goal of this survey was to determine the extent to which data mining technology is being used by ARL member institutions, researchers, libraries and and administrations. The survey also hoped to elicit ideas and opinions concerning the potential role of libraries in supporting data mining and data warehousing in research institutions. The first seven survey questions focus on data mining and data warehousing activities at the institutional level. The remaining questions explore the current library use of data mining technology and opportunities for future use. Since data warehouses are the foundation of data mining, several questions focused on current support and future plans for data warehousing. The survey was sent to 124 ARL member libraries. Sixty-five (52%) responded to the survey"--P. 9.
The application of data warehousing and data mining techniques to computer security is an important emerging area, as information processing and internet accessibility costs decline and more and more organizations become vulnerable to cyber attacks. These security breaches include attacks on single computers, computer networks, wireless networks, databases, or authentication compromises. This book describes data warehousing and data mining techniques that can be used to detect attacks. It is designed to be a useful handbook for practitioners and researchers in industry, and is also suitable as a text for advanced-level students in computer science.
Written in lucid language, this valuable textbook brings together fundamental concepts of data mining and data warehousing in a single volume. Important topics including information theory, decision tree, Naïve Bayes classifier, distance metrics, partitioning clustering, associate mining, data marts and operational data store are discussed comprehensively. The textbook is written to cater to the needs of undergraduate students of computer science, engineering and information technology for a course on data mining and data warehousing. The text simplifies the understanding of the concepts through exercises and practical examples. Chapters such as classification, associate mining and cluster analysis are discussed in detail with their practical implementation using Weka and R language data mining tools. Advanced topics including big data analytics, relational data models and NoSQL are discussed in detail. Pedagogical features including unsolved problems and multiple-choice questions are interspersed throughout the book for better understanding.
This book is an endeavor to share the journey of implementing the wonderful applications of Data Mining & Warehousing to Multimedia. Personally we came across this during the process of evaluating new tools to be included in the post graduate study curricula of the University we are working in. Soon it became a friendly affair to see the power, potential and ease of empowering the Multimedia databases with concepts of data mining. It has become powerful in rediscovering the hidden values in data base and soon in data warehouse, equally efficiently. The Data mining is a powerful new technology with great potential focusing on the most important information in their data warehouses. It involves extraction of hidden predictive information from large databases with ease and efficiency. Data Warehouse is a relational database that is designed for query and analysis rather than for transaction processing. The model of applying multimedia mining in different multimedia types due to much higher complexity. The main issues are huge volumes of data that too of variable and heterogeneous multimedia type. It becomes more complicated due to the fact that the multimedia content meaning is subjective. This book covers issues involved in understanding and implementing the Data Mining & Data Warehousing specific to Multimedia contents. Bhopal Meena Agrawal 17-10-2017 C P Agrawal Adesh Pandey
