Data Mining is the process of extraction interesting patterns from huge data sets and converts the patterns into logical structure for further Analysis. Predictive Modeling processes that make use of data mining, Machine learning and probability methods to forecast. Engineering is the most widely accepted stream of education in India. Students are uncertain about which department to join in engineering. It is important to improve the individual performance and help the students make the perfect choice regarding the department. In this paper, the hidden information from the previously recorded enrollment details during admission process is used to solve the students’ uncertainty in their choice of department. In addition to this, the performance of alumnae also needs to be analyzed by the teachers to have a clear idea about the future of existing students. Our main goal is to unravel these problems using predictive Modeling. Here, we are focusing on three classification algorithms namely, support vector machine, Random Forest and Naïve Bayes. Data has been collected, normalized and applied to the three different classification algorithms, from which the best model is formulated using various parameters of evaluation. In this paper, we present our approach towards implementing the best model which is built based on the profession of parents, demographic features, type of location of the student and correlation between high school and higher secondary examinations. The Result of this research work shows that Random forest is efficient for the data set used when compared to the other two Classification algorithms.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an empirical study on the effect of two synthetic attributes to popular classification algorithms on data originating from student transcripts. The attributes represent past performance achievements in a course, which are defined as global performance (GP) and local performance (LP). GP of a course is an aggregated performance achieved by all students who have taken this course, and LP of a course is an aggregated performance achieved in the prerequisite courses by the student taking the course. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses Educational Data Mining techniques to predict student performance in courses, where it identifies the relevant attributes that are the most key influencers for predicting the final grade (performance) and reports the effect of the two suggested attributes on the classification algorithms. As a research paradigm, the paper follows Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining using RapidMiner Studio software tool. Six classification algorithms are experimented: C4.5 and CART Decision Trees, Naive Bayes, k-neighboring, rule-based induction and support vector machines. Findings The outcomes of the paper show that the synthetic attributes have positively improved the performance of the classification algorithms, and also they have been highly ranked according to their influence to the target variable. Originality/value This paper proposes two synthetic attributes that are integrated into real data set. The key motivation is to improve the quality of the data and make classification algorithms perform better. The paper also presents empirical results showing the effect of these attributes on selected classification algorithms.

Data mining plays a vital role in converting the medical data like text, image, and graphs into meaningful new data, which helps to take the better decision. In this chapter, an overview of the current research is discussed using the data mining techniques for the finding, analysis, and prediction of various diseases. The focus of this study is to identify the well-performing data mining algorithms used on medical and clinical databases. Multiple algorithms have been identified: text-based mining, association rule-based mining, pattern-based mining, keyword-based mining, machine learning, neural network support vector machine, apriori algorithm, k-means clustering, and natural language. Analyses of the algorithm show that there is no single algorithm or model more suitable for diagnosing or predicting diseases. In some scenarios, some algorithms work very well but not in another data set. There are many examples in clinical or medical research where the combination of different algorithms gives good results.

In the past 30 years, the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), a pest that is highly destructive to all types of palms, has rapidly spread worldwide. However, detecting infestation with the RPW is highly challenging because symptoms are not visible until the death of the palm tree is inevitable. In addition, the use of automated RPW weevil identification tools to predict infestation is complicated by a lack of RPW datasets. In this study, we assessed the capability of 10 state-of-the-art data mining classification algorithms, Naive Bayes (NB), KSTAR, AdaBoost, bagging, PART, J48 Decision tree, multilayer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), random forest, and logistic regression, to use plant-size and temperature measurements collected from individual trees to predict RPW infestation in its early stages before significant damage is caused to the tree. The performance of the classification algorithms was evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure using a real RPW dataset. The experimental results showed that infestations with RPW can be predicted with an accuracy up to 93%, precision above 87%, recall equals 100%, and F-measure greater than 93% using data mining. Additionally, we found that temperature and circumference are the most important features for predicting RPW infestation. However, we strongly call for collecting and aggregating more RPW datasets to run more experiments to validate these results and provide more conclusive findings.

The aim of this study is to diagnose and classify the failure modes for two serial fastened sandwich composite plates using data mining techniques. The composite material used in the study was manufactured using glass fiber reinforced layer and aluminum sheets. Obtained results of previous experimental study for sandwich composite plates, which were mechanically fastened with two serial pins or bolts were used for classification of failure modes. Furthermore, experimental data from previous study consists of different geometrical parameters for various applied preload moments as 0 (pinned), 2, 3, 4, and 5 Nm (bolted). In this study, data mining methods were applied by using these geometrical parameters and pinned/bolted joint configurations. Therefore, three geometrical parameters and 100 test data were used for classification by utilizing support vector machine, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest methods. According to experiments, Random Forest method achieved better results than others and it was appropriate for diagnosing and classification of the failure modes. Performances of all data mining methods used were discussed in terms of accuracy and error ratios.

This work aims at classifying the road condition with data mining methods using simple acceleration sensors and gyroscopes installed in vehicles. Two classifiers are developed with a support vector machine (SVM) to distinguish between different types of road surfaces, such as asphalt and concrete, and obstacles, such as potholes or railway crossings. From the sensor signals, frequency-based features are extracted, evaluated automatically with MANOVA. The selected features and their meaning to predict the classes are discussed. The best features are used for designing the classifiers. Finally, the methods, which are developed and applied in this work, are implemented in a Matlab toolbox with a graphical user interface. The toolbox visualizes the classification results on maps, thus enabling manual verification of the results. The accuracy of the cross-validation of classifying obstacles yields 81.0% on average and of classifying road material 96.1% on average. The results are discussed on a comprehensive exemplary data set.
