Advanced Fuzzy Clustering and Decision Tree Plug-Ins for Data EngineTM

چکیده
Although a large variety of data analysis tools are available on the market today, none of them is perfect; they all have their strengths and weaknesses. In such a situation it is important that a user can enhance the capabilities of a data analysis tool by his or her own favourite methods in order to compensate for shortcomings of the shipped version. However, only few commercial products offer such a possibility. A rare exception is DataEngine, which is provided with a well-documented interface for user-defined function blocks (plug-ins). In this paper we describe three plug-ins we implemented for this well-known tool: An advanced fuzzy clustering plug-in that extends the fuzzy c-means algorithm (which is a built-in feature of DataEngine) by other, more flexible algorithms, a decision tree classifier plug-in that overcomes the serious drawback that DataEngine lacks a native module for this highly important technique, and finally a naive Bayes classifier plug-in that makes available an old and time-tested statistical classification method.

A New Algorithm for Optimization of Fuzzy Decision Tree in Data Mining
Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classification t...

35 ABSTRACT This paper presents a new approach for power signal time series data mining using S-transform based K-means clustering technique and fuzzy decision tree. Initially the power signal time series disturbance data are pre-processed through an advanced signal processing tool such as S-transform and various statistical features are extracted, which are used as inputs to the K-means algori...

Heart disease is one of the major causes of morbidity in the world. Currently, large proportions of healthcare data are not processed properly, thus, failing to be effectively used for decision making purposes. The risk of heart disease may be predicted via investigation of heart disease risk factors coupled with data mining knowledge. This paper presents a model developed using combined descri...
متن کاملSupervised Clustering and Fuzzy Decision Tree Induction for the Identification of Compact Classifiers
Fuzzy decision tree induction algorithms require the fuzzy quantization of the input variables. This paper demonstrates that supervised fuzzy clustering combined with similarity-based rule-simplification algorithms is an effective tool to obtain the fuzzy quantization of the input variables, so the synergistic combination of supervised fuzzy clustering and fuzzy decision tree induction can be e...
