Computer modeling of ecological systems is the activity of implementing computer solutions to analyze data related to the fields of remote sensing, earth science, biology, and oceans. The ecologists analyze the data to identify the relationships between a response and a set of predictors, using statistical models that do not accurately describe the main sources of variation in the response variable. Knowledge discovery techniques are often more powerful, flexible, and effective for exploratory analysis than statistical techniques. This chapter aims to test the use of data mining in ecology. It will discuss the exploration of ecological data by defining at first data mining, its advantages, and its different types. Then the authors detail the field of bio-inspiration and meta-heuristics. And finally, they give case studies from where they applied these two areas to explore ecological data.

Grade Crossings

Various countermeasures can be introduced to reduce collisions at highway–railway grade crossings. These countermeasures may take different forms, such as passive and (or) active driver warning devices, supplementary traffic controls (four quadrant barriers, wayside horn, closed circuit television (CCTV) monitoring, etc.), illumination, signage and highway speed limit, etc. In this research, we present a structured model that makes use of data mining techniques to estimate the effect of changes in countermeasures on the expected number of collisions at a given crossing. This model serves as a decision-support tool for the evaluation and development of cost-effective and practicable safety program at highway–railway grade crossings. The use of data mining techniques helps to resolve many of the problems associated with conventional statistical models used to predict the expected number of collisions for a given type of crossing. Statistical models introduce biases that limit their ability to fully represent the relationship between selected countermeasures and resultant collisions for a mix of crossing attributes. This paper makes use of Canadian inventory and collision data to illustrate the potential merits of the proposed model to provide decision support.Key words: highway–railway grade crossing, collision prediction model, countermeasures, Poisson regression.

Temporal Association Rule

The emergence of remote sensing, scientific simulation and other survey technologies has dramatically enhanced our capabilities to collect temporal data. However, the explosive growth in data makes the management, analysis, and use of data both difficult and expensive. To meet these challenges, there is an increased use of data mining techniques to index, cluster, classify and mine association rules from time series data (Roddick & Spiliopoulou, 2002; Han, 2001). A major focus of these algorithms is to characterize and predict complex, irregular, or suspicious activity (Han, 2001).

In recent years, with the advent of the internet of things (IOT), computers and information technology (IT), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been immersed in a cluster of information difficult to analyze in a conventional way which provides value that can ensure its permanence and survival in the market. Therefore, it is important to make use of data mining technology tools and statistical techniques that help analyze and better understand the information generated by sales processes, through a thorough analysis of the data. For this research, the IBM Cognos Analytic tool was used, which provides a predictive data visualization and analysis service that can be used to determine patterns, relationships, associations and meaning of a large set of data quickly and in a timely manner. Likewise, statistical techniques such as correlation and simple linear regression were used to establish the behavior of the company's product demand in the marketing, manufacturing and importation of the cleaning product sector.

AbstractBackground: The globalization era has brought with it the development of high technology, and therefore new methods of preserving and storing data. New data storing techniques ensure data are stored for longer periods of time, more efficiently and with a higher quality, but also with a higher data abuse risk. Objective: The goal of the paper is to provide a review of the data mining applications for the purpose of corporate information security, and intrusion detection in particular. Methods/approach: The review was conducted using the systematic analysis of the previously published papers on the usage of data mining in the field of corporate information security. Results: This paper demonstrates that the use of data mining applications is extremely useful and has a great importance for establishing corporate information security. Data mining applications are directly related to issues of intrusion detection and privacy protection. Conclusions: The most important fact that can be specified based on this study is that corporations can establish a sustainable and efficient data mining system that will ensure privacy and successful protection against unwanted intrusions.

With the rapid development of automotive ECUs(Electronic Control Unit), the fault diagnosis becomes increasingly complicated. And the link between fault and symptom becomes less obvious. In order to improve the maintenance quality and efficiency, the paper proposes a fault diagnosis approach based on data mining technologies. By making full use of data stream, we firstly extract fault symptom vectors by processing data stream, and then establish a diagnosis decision tree through the ID3 decision tree algorithm, and finally store the link rules between faults and the related symptoms into historical fault database as a foundation for the fault diagnosis. The database provides the basis of trend judgments for a future fault. To verify this approach, an example of diagnosing faults of entertainment ECU is showed. The test result testifies the reliability and validity of this diagnostic method and reduces the cost of ECU diagnosis.

The Relationship

Wood materials have been used in many products such as furniture, stairs, windows, and doors for centuries. There are differences in methods used to adapt wood to ambient conditions. Impregnation is a widely used method of wood preservation. In terms of efficiency, it is critical to optimize the parameters for impregnation. Data mining techniques reduce most of the cost and operational challenges with accurate prediction in the wood industry. In this study, three data-mining algorithms were applied to predict bending strength in impregnated wood materials (Pinus sylvestris L. and Millettia laurentii). Models were created from real experimental data to examine the relationship between bending strength, diffusion time, vacuum duration, and wood type, based on decision trees (DT), random forest (RF), and Gaussian process (GP) algorithms. The highest bending strength was achieved with wenge (Millettia laurentii) wood in 10 bar vacuum and the diffusion condition during 25 min. The results showed that all algorithms are suitable for predicting bending strength. The goodness of fit for the testing phase was determined as 0.994, 0.986, and 0.989 in the DT, RF, and GP algorithms, respectively. Moreover, the importance of attributes was determined in the algorithms.
