DTSA 5504 - Data Mining Pipeline Comprehensive Resource To Help You Ace Exams Includes Frequently Tested Questions With ELABORATED 100% Correct COMPLETE SOLUTIONS Guaranteed Pass First Attempt!! Current Update!! Instant Download Pdf 1. What is data mining? - Correct Answer: The process of sorting through large data sets to identify patterns and establish relationships to solve problems through data analysis 2. What are the steps involved in data mining when viewed as a process of knowledge discovery? - Correct Answer: Data Cleaning Data Integration Data Selection Data Transformation Data Mining Pattern Evaluation Knowledge Presentation 3. What are the data mining functionalities - Correct Answer: Characterization and discrimination Mining of frequent patterns, associations, and correlations Classification and regression Clustering analysis Outlier analysis 4. Data Characterization - Correct Answer: A summary of the general characteristics or features of a target class of data. The data corresponding to the user-specified class is typically collected by a query. For example, to study the characteristics of software products with sales that increased by 10% in the previous year, the data related to such products can be collected by executing an SQL query on the sales database. 5. Data discrimination - Correct Answer: comparison of the target class with one or a set of comparative classes 6. Data mining methodology challenges - Correct Answer: Mining various and new kinds of knowledge Mining knowledge in multidimensional space Integrating new methods from multiple disciplines Boosting the power of discovery in a networked environment Handling uncertainty, noise, or incompleteness of data Pattern evaluation and pattern- or constraint-guided mining 7. Explain one challenge of mining a huge amount of data in comparison with mining a small amount of data. - Correct Answer: Algorithms that deal with data need to scale nicely so that even vast amounts of data can be handled efficiently, and take short amounts of time 8. What is an outlier? - Correct Answer: An object which does not fit in with the general behavior of the model. 9. Does an outlier need to be discarded always? - Correct Answer: In most cases of data mining, outliers are discarded. However, there are special circumstances, such as fraud detection, where outliers can be useful. 10. The mode is the only measure of central tendency that can be used for nominal attributes. (T/F) - Correct Answer: True. An example of this would be hair color, with different categories such as black, brown, blond, and red. Which one is the most common one?
