DATA INTEGRATION Data integration involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data. This process becomes significant in a variety of situations‚ which include both commercial (when two similar companies need to merge their databases and scientific (combining research results from different bioinformatics repositories‚ for example) domains. Data integration appears with increasing frequency as the volume and the need to share existing data explodes

Data Preprocessing 3 Today’s real-world databases are highly susceptible to noisy‚ missing‚ and inconsistent data due to their typically huge size (often several gigabytes or more) and their likely origin from multiple‚ heterogenous sources. Low-quality data will lead to low-quality mining results. “How can the data be preprocessed in order to help improve the quality of the data and‚ consequently‚ of the mining results? How can the data be preprocessed so as to improve the efficiency and ease

1. Data mart definition A data mart is the access layer of the data warehouse environment that is used to get data out to the users. The data mart is a subset of the data warehouse that is usually oriented to a specific business line or team. Data marts are small slices of the data warehouse. Whereas data warehouses have an enterprise-wide depth‚ the information in data marts pertains to a single department. In some deployments‚ each department or business unit is considered the owner of its data

A glimpse of Big Data Jan. 2013 What is big data? “Big data is not a precise term; rather it’s a characterization of the never ending accumulation of all kinds of data‚ most of it unstructured. It describes data sets that are growing exponentially and that are too large‚ too raw or too unstructured for analysis using relational database techniques. Whether terabytes or petabytes‚ the precise amount is less the issue than where the data ends up and how it is used.”------Cite from EMC’s report

Topic 1: The Data Mining Process: Data mining is the process of analyzing data from different perceptions and summarizing it into useful evidence that can be used to increase revenue‚ cut costs or both. Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users to analyze data from many different dimensions or angles‚ categorize it and summarize the relationships identified. Association‚ Clustering‚ predictions and sequential patterns‚ decision trees and classification

WORLD DATA CLUSTERING ADEWALE .O . MAKO DATA MINING INTRODUCTION: Data mining is the analysis step of knowledge discovery in databases or a field at the intersection of computer science and statistics. It is also the analysis of large observational datasets to find unsuspected relationships. This definition refers to observational data as opposed to experimental data. Data mining typically deals with data that has already been collected for some purpose or the other than the data mining
