This article presents a novel approach for fraud detection in automobile insurance claims by applying various data mining techniques. Initially, the most relevant attributes are chosen from the original dataset by using an evolutionary algorithm based feature selection method. A test set is then extracted from the selected attribute set and the remaining dataset is subjected to the Possibilistic Fuzzy C-Means (PFCM) clustering technique for the undersampling approach. The 10-fold cross validation method is then used on the balanced dataset for training and validating a group of Weighted Extreme Learning Machine (WELM) classifiers generated from various combinations of WELM parameters. Finally, the test set is applied on the best performing model for classification purpose. The efficacy of the proposed system is illustrated by conducting several experiments on a real-world automobile insurance defraud dataset. Besides, a comparative analysis with another approach justifies the superiority of the proposed system.

The improvement of an information processing and Memory capacity, the vast amount of data is collected for various data analyses purposes. Data mining techniques are used to get knowledgeable information. The process of extraction of data by using data mining techniques the data get discovered publically and this leads to breaches of specific privacy data. Privacypreserving data mining is used to provide to protection of sensitive information from unwanted or unsanctioned disclosure. In this paper, we analysis the problem of discovering similarity checks for functional dependencies from a given dataset such that application of algorithm (l, d) inference with generalization can anonymised the micro data without loss in utility. [8] This work has presented Functional dependency based perturbation approach which hides sensitive information from the user, by applying (l, d) inference model on the dependency attributes based on Information Gain. This approach works on both categorical and numerical attributes. The perturbed data set does not affects the original dataset it maintains the same or very comparable patterns as the original data set. Hence the utility of the application is always high, when compared to other data mining techniques. The accuracy of the original and perturbed datasets is compared and analysed using tools, data mining classification algorithm.

This chapter data mines the usage patterns of the ANGEL Learning Management System (LMS) at a comprehensive college. The data includes counts of all the features ANGEL offers its users for the Fall and Spring semesters of the academic years beginning in 2007 and 2008. Data mining techniques are applied to evaluate which LMS features are used most commonly and most effectively by instructors and students. Classification produces a decision tree which predicts the courses that will use the ANGEL system based on course specific attributes. The dataset undergoes association mining to discover the usage of one feature’s effect on the usage of another set of features. Finally, clustering the data identifies messages and files as the features most commonly used. These results can be used by this institution, as well as similar institutions, for decision making concerning feature selection and overall usefulness of LMS design, selection and implementation.

ABSTRACTData mining is a process of finding correlations and collecting and analysing a huge amount of data in a database to discover patterns or relationships. Flight delay creates significant problems in the present aviation system. Data mining techniques are desired for analysing the performance in which micro-level causes propagate to make system-level patterns of delay. Analysing flight delays is very difficult – both when looking from a historical view as well as when estimating delays with forecast demand. This paper proposes using Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayesian (NB), K-nearest neighbour (KNN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to study and analyse delays among aircrafts. The performance of different data mining methods is found in the different regions of the updated datasets on these classifiers. Finally, the result shows a significant variation in the performance of different data mining methods and feature selection for this problem. This paper aims to deal with how data mining techniques can be used to understand difficult aircraft system delays in aviation. Our aim is to develop a classification model for studying and reducing delay using different data mining methods and, in this manner, to show that DT has a greater classification accuracy. The different feature selectors are used in this study in order to reduce the number of initial attributes. Our results clearly demonstrate the value of DT for analysing and visualising how system-level effects happen from subsystem-level causes.
