Visualizing Emergency Department Admission through Data Mining

Applying Process Mining to the Emergency Department

Process mining is a relatively young research discipline that sits between computational intelligence and data mining on the one hand, and process modeling and analysis on the other hand. The idea of process mining is to discover, monitor and improve real processes (i.e., not assumed processes) by extracting knowledge from event logs readily available in today’s (information) systems. Process m...

Visualizing Association Mining Results through Hierarchical Clusters

We propose a new methodology for visualizing association mining results. Inter-item distances are computed from combinations of itemset supports. The new distances retain a simple pairwise structure, and are consistent with important frequently occurring itemsets. Thus standard tools of visualization, e.g. hierarchical clustering dendrograms can still be applied, while the distance information ...
