Technological development has engaged educational institutions in fierce global competition. To be competitive in meeting the changing needs of today’s student population, educational institutions find it imperative to prioritize student retention efforts and to develop strategies that interact and serve students more effectively in providing them more value and service. In this research we proposed a three-phase-six-stage adaptive data mining development life cycle, and we applied the affinity analysis to this methodology in identifying more than 400 association relationships with student retention, refining iteratively the association rule set down to less than 30 rules, and developing useful strategic implications regarding how the important factors were associated with a student’s decision. This set of implications and factors could then be integrated into the development of strategies for student retention

Data mining is a real-world procedure of discovering useful patterns from heterogeneous datasets. All most all industry uses data mining in their day to day activities. To build an effective mining model, a series of development steps are to be followed. It starts with discovering the business problem and ends with communicating the results. In this development life cycle, the most important step is data preparation or data preprocessing. Data preprocessing is converting raw data into data understandable by the machine. Data normalization is a phase in data preprocessing where the data values are scaled to 0 and 1. Right normalization of the datasets leads to improved mining results. In this paper, academic data of students is taken. The dataset is normalization using six normalization technique. Multi Layer Perceptron classifier is applied to normalized dataset and results are obtained. Results of this study reveal the best normalization technique which can be used for normalizing academic datasets. Finally, in a line, the goal of this work is to discover the best normalization technique which produces better mining result when applied to academic datasets.

Data mining has proven to be an important technique in terms of efficient information extraction, classification, clustering, and prediction of future trends from a database. The valuable properties of data mining have been put to use in many applications. One such application is Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), where effective use of data mining techniques has been made by researchers. An exhaustive survey on application of data mining in SDLC has not been done in the past. In this chapter, the authors carry out an in-depth survey of existing literature focused towards application of data mining in SDLC and propose a framework that will classify the work done by various researchers in identification of prominent data mining techniques used in various phases of SDLC and pave the way for future research in the emerging area of data mining in SDLC.

<div>Association rule mining is a well-known data mining technique used for extracting hidden correlations between data items in large databases. In the majority of the situations, data mining results contain sensitive information about individuals and publishing such data will violate individual secrecy. The challenge of association rule mining is to preserve the confidentiality of sensitive rules when releasing the database to external parties. The association rule hiding technique conceals the knowledge extracted by the sensitive association rules by modifying the database. In this paper, we introduce a border-based algorithm for hiding sensitive association rules. The main purpose of this approach is to conceal the sensitive rule set while maintaining the utility of the database and association rule mining results at the highest level. The performance of the algorithm in terms of the side effects is demonstrated using experiments conducted on two real datasets. The results show that the information loss is minimized without sacrificing the accuracy. </div>

Association rule mining has many achievements in the area of knowledge discovery. However, the quality of the extracted association rules has not drawn adequate attention from researchers in data mining community. One big concern with the quality of association rule mining is the size of the extracted rule set. As a matter of fact, very often tens of thousands of association rules are extracted among which many are redundant, thus useless. In this paper, we first analyze the redundancy problem in association rules and then propose a reliable exact association rule basis from which more concise nonredundant rules can be extracted. We prove that the redundancy eliminated using the proposed reliable association rule basis does not reduce the belief to the extracted rules. Moreover, this paper proposes a level wise approach for efficiently extracting closed itemsets and minimal generators — a key issue in closure based association rule mining.

Knowledge discovery process deals with two essential data mining techniques, association and classification. Classification produces a set of large number of associative classification rules for a given observation. Pruning removes unnecessary class association rules without losing classification accuracy. These processes are very significant but at the same time very challenging. The experimental results and limitations of existing class association rules mining techniques have shown that there is a requirement to consider more pruning parameters so that the size of classifier can be further optimized. Here through this paper we are presenting a survey various strategies for class association rule pruning and study their effects that enables us to extract efficient compact and high confidence class association rule set and we have also proposed a pruning methodology..
