Pathway en Introduction to Data Mining
Introducción al Curso
This course introduces basic concepts and methods of Data Mining with specific reference to Clustering and Association Rules. We present concept and purposes of cluster analysis, together with its’ main components. Partitioning, hierarchical, density based, and graph based clustering methods are described. Particular attention is devoted to; cluster validity measures and clustering validation. The last part of the course introduces association rule discovery. The concepts of association rule, frequent itemset, support and confidence are given. Furthermore, we give a brief description of the Apriori algorithm for frequent itemset generation, and introduce the concepts of maximal and closed frequent itemset. Finally, different criteria, for evaluating the quality of association patterns, are introduced.Informatica, Gestión y Análisis de datos

Resultados de Aprendizaje
By the end of this course, you will be able to; develop a Data Mining workflow for solving a clustering problem as well as for extracting potentially interesting association rules. You will be able to use the appropriate proximity measure, and to select the "optimal clustering model" (whatever it means) to solve a clustering problem. Furthermore, you will be able to develop a Data Mining workflow to extract potentially interesting association rules. You will learn all this by using the KNIME open source platform, which integrates power and expressiveness of Weka, R and Java.
