چکیده

Clustering divides a heterogeneous population into a number of more homogeneous subgroups or clusters to reflect the segments in a dataset such that patterns can be recognized. This research shows how a software evaluation framework may be adapted to evaluate commercial data mining tools for a specific user environment. We applied this adaptation to evaluate two major commercial data mining tools, SAS Enterprise Miner (EM) and IBM DB2 Intelligent Miner (IM), for use in a university environment.

Evaluation of Groundwater Vulnerability Using Data Mining Technique in Hashtgerd Plain

Groundwater vulnerability assessment would be one of the effective informative methods to provide a basis for determining source of pollution. Vulnerability maps are employed as an important solution in order to handle entrance of pollution into the aquifers. A common way to develop groundwater vulnerability map is DRASTIC. Meanwhile, application of the method is not easy for any aquifer due to...
