In this study, a new model is provided for customized privacy in privacy preserving data mining in which the data owners define different levels for privacy for different features. Additionally, in order to improve perturbation methods, a method combined of singular value decomposition (SVD) and feature selection methods is defined so as to benefit from the advantages of both domains. Also, to assess the amount of distortion created by the proposed perturbation method, new distortion criteria are defined in which the amount of created distortion in the process of feature selection is considered based on the value of privacy in each feature. Different tests and results analysis show that offered method based on this model compared to previous approaches, caused the improved privacy, accuracy of mining results and efficiency of privacy preserving data mining systems.


Nowadays, Data Mining is used everywhere for extracting information from the data and in turn, acquires knowledge for decision making. Data Mining analyzes patterns which are used to extract information and knowledge for making decisions. Many open source and licensed tools like Weka, RapidMiner, KNIME, and Orange are available for Data Mining and predictive analysis. This paper discusses about different tools available for Data Mining and Machine Learning, followed by the description, pros and cons of these tools. The article provides details of all the algorithms like classification, regression, characterization, discretization, clustering, visualization and feature selection for Data Mining and Machine Learning tools. It will help people for efficient decision making and suggests which tool is suitable according to their requirement.

Feature selection and tuple selection help the classifier to focus to achieve similar (or even better) accuracy as compared to the classification without feature selection and tuple selection. Although feature selection and tuple selection have been studied earlier in various research areas such as machine learning, data mining, and so on, they have rarely been studied together. The contribution of this chapter is that the authors propose a novel distance measure to select the most representative features and tuples. Their experiments are conducted over some microarray gene expression datasets, UCI machine learning and KDD datasets. Results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods quite significantly.

This chapter provides an overview of the knowledge discovery process in metabolomics, a young discipline in the life sciences arena. It introduces two emerging bioanalytical concepts for generating biomolecular information, followed by various data mining and information retrieval procedures such as feature selection, classification, clustering and biochemical interpretation of mined data, illustrated by real examples from preclinical and clinical studies. The authors trust that this chapter will provide an acceptable balance between bioanalytics background information, essential to understanding the complexity of data generation, and information on data mining principals, specific methods and processes, and biomedical application. Thus, this chapter is anticipated to appeal to those with a metabolomics background as well as to basic researchers within the data mining community who are interested in novel life science applications.
