Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques provides the concepts and techniques in processing gathered data or information, which will be used in various applications. Specifically, it explains data mining and the tools used in discovering knowledge from the collected data. This book is referred as the knowledge discovery from data (KDD). It focuses on the feasibility, usefulness, effectiveness, and scalability of techniques of large data sets. After describing data mining, this edition explains the methods of knowing, preprocessing, processing, and warehousing data. It then presents information about data warehouses, online analytical processing (OLAP), and data cube technology. Then, the methods involved in mining frequent patterns, associations, and correlations for large data sets are described. The book details the methods for data classification and introduces the concepts and methods for data clustering. The remaining chapters discuss the outlier detection and the trends, applications, and research frontiers in data mining. This book is intended for Computer Science students, application developers, business professionals, and researchers who seek information on data mining. Presents dozens of algorithms and implementation examples, all in pseudo-code and suitable for use in real-world, large-scale data mining projects Addresses advanced topics such as mining object-relational databases, spatial databases, multimedia databases, time-series databases, text databases, the World Wide Web, and applications in several fields Provides a comprehensive, practical look at the concepts and techniques you need to get the most out of your data

"Provides a unique perspective. I am particularly impressed with the sections on innovative design and methods to investigate cognitive aging and the integrative perspectives. None of the existing texts covers this material to the same level." —Donna J. La Voie, Saint Louis University "The emphasis on integrating the literature with theoretical and methodological innovations could have a far-reaching impact on the field." —Deb McGinnis, Oakland University The Handbook of Cognitive Aging: Interdisciplinary Perspectives clarifies the differences in patterns and processes of cognitive aging. Along with a comprehensive review of current research, editors Scott M. Hofer and Duane F. Alwin provide a solid foundation for building a multidisciplinary agenda that will stimulate further rigorous research into these complex factors. Key Features Gathers the widest possible range of perspectives by including cognitive aging experts in various disciplines while maintaining a degree of unity across chapters Examines the limitations of the extant literature, particularly in research design and measurement, and offers new suggestions to guide future research Highlights the broad scope of the field with topics ranging from demography to development to neuroscience, offering the most complete coverage available on cognitive aging
Finally, the process of instrument design must consider the generalizability of
performance in experimental tasks to real world abilities. Research on attention
has primarily relied on tightly controlled and thus necessarily contrived
experimental ...
Traditionally, there have been two primary types of simulation textbooks: those that emphasize the theoretical (and mostly statistical) aspects of simulation, and those that emphasize the simulation language or package.Simulation Modeling and Arena, Second Edition blends these two aspects of simulation textbooks together while adding and emphasizing the art of model building. This book features coverage of statistical analysis, which is integrated with the modeling to emphasize the importance of both topics. The Second Edition features new topical coverage, including static simulation and spreadsheet simulation; how simulation works and why it matters; and expanded use of Arena, specifically the use of strings in models, the Atribute module, the OnChange block, visual dashboards, and an introduction to 3-D animation concepts. In addition, a running example is presented throghout each chapter to prepare readers to perform a realistic case study based on the IIE/RA contest problem. The new edition also contains expanded topical coverage on: simulation clock within discrete event modeling simulation; statistical modeling concepts with the theoretical basis and equationsneeded to perform the analysis by hand; increased use of Arena Run Controller, modeling non-stationary arrival processes; and the Wait-Signal constructs.
