The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Based on the Beijing Key Discipline Information Platform as the data source, the decision tree algorithm of data mining is studied. On the basis of decision tree C4.5, the Bayesian theory is applied to the post-pruning operation of the decision tree. Findings A decision tree post-pruning algorithm based on the Bayesian theory is studied and put forward in order to simplify the decision tree, which improves the generalization ability of the whole algorithm. Finally, the algorithm is used to build the prediction model of key disciplines. Combined with the decision support system architecture, data warehouse and the data mining algorithm constructed by university discipline, based on J2EE standard enterprise system specification, MVC model is applied. Moreover, a prototype system of decision support system for discipline construction in colleges and universities with browser/server (B/S) structure is completed and implemented.

Dengue is a viral disease that has been feared by people globally. Due to its rapid prevalence and increasing threat, this study explored on the use of data mining techniques together with decision support system to develop prediction models of dengue survivability. This study was focused on three important points namely: identify significant predictor attributes to dengue survivability prediction, development of a rule-based and decision tree models for dengue survivability prediction, and the development of a dengue survivability platform for prediction purposes. The developed rule-based and decision tree models were compared according to accuracy and they underwent the 10-fold cross validation procedure and were integrated in the system to provide a platform to predict the survivability of a patient given the input medical data using a client-server configuration via the Internet. The result of the prediction for the dengue survivability may be used as an intervention by medical practitioners in the general management of dengue cases.

Background: Educational data mining is an emerging trend, especially in today Big Data Era. Numerous method and technique already been implemented in order  to improve its process to gain better understanding of the educational process and to extract knowledge from various related data, but the implementation of these methods into Decision support system (DSS) application still limited, especially regarding help to choose university sub majors .Objective: To design an academic decision support system (DSS) by adopting Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) concept and using Data Mining as a factor analytic apporach to extract rules for its knowledge model.Methods: We implemented factor analysis method and decision tree method  of C.45 to produce rules of the impact course of the sub- majors and the job interest as the basic rules of the DSS.Results: The proposed academic decision support system able to give sub majors recommendations in accordance with student interest and competence, with 79.03% of precision and 61.11% of recall. Moreover, the system also has a dashboard feature that shows the information about the statistic of students in each sub majors.Conclusion: C.45 algorithm and factor analysis are suitable to build a knowledge model for Academic Decision Support System for Choosing Information System Sub Majors Bachelor Programs. This system could also help the academic adviser on monitoring and make decision accordance with that academic information

This article depicts a decision support system (DSS) devoted to the coordinated administration of urban frameworks. This framework defines the information and related treatments normal to a few civil managers and characterizes the necessities and functionalities of the PC devices created to enhance the conveyance, execution, and coordination of metropolitan administrations to the populace. The cooperative framework called Decision Support System for Urban Planning (DSS-UP) is made out of a universal planning and coordination framework. So, it helps the decision-making process, a DSS was created as a learning-based framework gave derivation components that empower urban architect to settle on key decisions as far as specialized meditations on civil foundations. The learning-based framework stores experts_ information and additionally answers for past issues. Preparatory execution comes about demonstrate that DSS-UP viably and effectively underpins the decision-making process identified with overseeing urban foundations by using K-means++ data mining algorithm.

Purpose Because increasing product variety in retail conflicts with limited shelf space, managing assortment and shelf quantities is a core decision in this sector. A retailer needs to define the assortment size and then assign shelf space to meet consumer demand. However, the current literature lacks not only information on the comprehensive structure of the decision problem, but also a decision support system that can be directly applied to practice in a straightforward manner. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The findings were developed and evaluated by means of explorative interviews with grocery retail experts. An optimization model is proposed to solve the problem of assortment planning with limited shelf space for data sets of a size relevant in real retail practice. Findings The author identifies the underlying planning problems based on a qualitative survey of retailers and relates the problems to each other. This paper develops a pragmatic approach to the capacitated assortment problem with stochastic demand and substitution effects. The numerical examples reveal that substitution demand has a significant impact on total profit and solution structure. Practical implications The author shows that the model and solution approach are scalable to problem sizes relevant in practice. Furthermore, the planning architecture structures the related planning questions and forms a foundation for further research on decision support systems. Originality/value The planning framework structures the associated decision problems in assortment planning. An efficient solution approach for assortment planning is proposed.

PurposeA good decision support system for credit scoring enables telecom operators to measure the subscribers' creditworthiness in a fine-grained manner. This paper aims to propose a robust credit scoring system by leveraging latent information embedded in the telecom subscriber relation network based on multi-source data sources, including telecom inner data, online app usage, and offline consumption footprint.Design/methodology/approachRooting from network science, the relation network model and singular value decomposition are integrated to infer different subscriber subgroups. Employing the results of network inference, the paper proposed a network-aware credit scoring system to predict the continuous credit scores by implementing several state-of-art techniques, i.e. multivariate linear regression, random forest regression, support vector regression, multilayer perceptron, and a deep learning algorithm. The authors use a data set consisting of 926 users of a Chinese major telecom operator within one month of 2018 to verify the proposed approach.FindingsThe distribution of telecom subscriber relation network follows a power-law function instead of the Gaussian function previously thought. This network-aware inference divides the subscriber population into a connected subgroup and a discrete subgroup. Besides, the findings demonstrate that the network-aware decision support system achieves better and more accurate prediction performance. In particular, the results show that our approach considering stochastic equivalence reveals that the forecasting error of the connected-subgroup model is significantly reduced by 7.89–25.64% as compared to the benchmark. Deep learning performs the best which might indicate that a non-linear relationship exists between telecom subscribers' credit scores and their multi-channel behaviours.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the existing literature on business intelligence analytics and continuous credit scoring by incorporating latent information of the relation network and external information from multi-source data (e.g. online app usage and offline consumption footprint). Also, the authors have proposed a power-law distribution-based network-aware decision support system to reinforce the prediction performance of individual telecom subscribers' credit scoring for the telecom marketing domain.
