Due to increasing demands for dimensionality reduction, research on feature selection has deeply and widely expanded into many fields, including computational statistics, pattern recognition, machine learning, data mining, and knowledge discovery.
Highlighting current research issues, Computational Methods of Feature Selection introduces the basic concepts and principles, Due to increasing demands for dimensionality reduction, research on feature selection has deeply and widely expanded into many fields, including computational statistics, pattern recognition, machine learning, data mining, and knowledge discovery. Highlighting current research issues, Computational Methods of Feature Selection introduces the basic concepts and principles, state-of-the-art algorithms, and novel applications of this tool.
The book begins by exploring unsupervised, randomized, and causal feature selection.
It then reports on some recent results of empowering feature selection, including active feature selection, decision-border estimate, the use of ensembles with independent probes, and incremental feature selection. This is followed by discussions of weighting and local methods, such as the ReliefF family, k -means clustering, local feature relevance, and a new interpretation of Relief. The book subsequently covers text classification, a new feature selection score, and both constraint-guided and aggressive feature selection.
The final section examines applications of feature selection in bioinformatics, including feature construction as well as redundancy-, ensemble-, and penalty-based feature selection. Through a clear, concise, and coherent presentation of topics, this volume systematically covers the key concepts, underlying principles, and inventive applications of feature selection, illustrating how this powerful tool can efficiently harness massive, high-dimensional data and turn it into valuable, reliable information.
Learning with Case Studies, Second Edition. Learning with Case Studies, Second Edition strong uses practical examples to illustrate the power of R and data mining. Providing an extensive update to the best-selling first edition, this new edition is divided into two parts. The first part will feature introductory material, including a new chapter that provides an introduction to data mining, to complement the already existing introduction to R. The second part includes case studies, and the new edition strongly revises the R code of the case studies making it more up-to-date with recent packages that have emerged in R.

This book, edited by Ashok Srivastava, Ramakrishna Nemani, and Karsten Steinhaeuser, serves as an outstanding resource for anyone interested in the opportunities and challenges for the machine learning community in analyzing these data sets to answer questions of urgent societal interest I hope that this book will inspire more computer scientists to focus on environmental applications, and Earth scientists to seek collaborations with researchers in machine lear..
Text Mining and Visualization: Case Studies Using Open-Source Tools strong provides an introduction to text mining using some of the most popular and powerful open-source tools: The contributors--all highly experienced with text mining and open-source software--explain how text data are gathered and processed from a wide variety of sources, including books, server access logs, websites, social media sites, and message boards.
Each chapter presents a case study that you can follow as part of a step-by-step, reproducible example. You can also easily apply and extend the techniques to other problems. At the intersection of computer science and healthcare, data analytics has emerged as a promising tool for solving problems across many healthcare-related disciplines. Supplying a comprehensive overview of recent healthcare analytics research, Healthcare Data Analytics provides a clear understanding of the analytical techniques currently available to solve healthcare problems.
The book details novel techniques for acquiring, handling, retrieving, and making best use of healthcare data. It analyzes recent developments in healthcare computing and discusses emerging technologies that can help improve the health and well-being of patients.
Music Data Mining 1st Edition Tao Li, Mitsunori Ogihara, George Tzanetakis July 12, The research area of music information retrieval has gradually evolved to address the challenges of effectively accessing and interacting large collections of music and associated data, such as styles, artists, lyrics, and reviews. Francesco Bonchi, Elena Ferrari December 02, The book emphasizes the close connection between optimization theory and SVMs since optimization is one of the pillars on which SVMs are built. Integrating the statistical and graphical analysis tools available in SAS systems, the book provides complete statistical data mining solutions without writing SAS program codes or using the point-and-click approach.

Written by prominent re.. Mining Unstructured Information for Hypothesis Generation. Unstructured Mining Approaches to Solve Complex Scientific Problems As the volume of scientific data and literature increases exponentially, scientists need more powerful tools and methods to process and synthesize information and to formulate new hypotheses that are most likely to be both true and important. Mining Unstructured Information for Hypothesis Generation strong describes a novel approach to scientific research that uses unstructured data analysis as a generative tool for new hypotheses.
The author develops a systematic process for leveraging heterogeneous structured and unstructured data sources, data mining,.. Practical Graph Mining with R. Discover Novel and Insightful Knowledge from Data Represented as a Graph br strong Practical Graph Mining with R strong presents a "do-it-yourself" approach to extracting interesting patterns from graph data.
It covers many basic and advanced techniques for the identification of anomalous or frequently recurring patterns in a graph, the discovery of groups or clusters of nodes that share common patterns of attributes and relationships, the extraction of patterns that distinguish one category of graphs from another, and the use of those patterns to predict the category of new graphs. Optimization Based Theory, Algorithms, and Extensions. Optimization Based Theory, Algorithms, and Extensions strong presents an accessible treatment of the two main components of support vector machines SVMs --classification problems and regression problems.
The book emphasizes the close connection between optimization theory and SVMs since optimization is one of the pillars on which SVMs are built. The authors share insight on many of their research achievements. They give a precise interpretation of statistical leaning theory for C-support vector classification.
