An optimization query asks for one or more data objects that maximize or minimize some function over the data set. We propose a general class of queries, model-based optimization ...
Managers of electronic commerce sites need to learn as much as possible about their customers and those browsing their virtual premises, in order to maximise the return on marketin...
Partitioning a large set of objects into homogeneous clusters is a fundamental operation in data mining. The k-means algorithm is best suited for implementing this operation becau...
1 Several clustering algorithms have been proposed for class identification in spatial databases such as earth observation databases. The effectivity of the well-known algorithms ...
Data discretization is defined as a process of converting continuous data attribute values into a finite set of intervals with minimal loss of information. In this paper, we prove...
