In this paper students’ activities data analysis in the course Introduction to programming at Faculty of Electrical Engineering in East Sarajevo is performed. Using the data that are stored in the Moodle database combined with manually collected data, the model was developed to predict students’ performance in successfully passing the final exam. The goal was to identify variables that could help teachers in predicting students’ performance and making specific recommendations for improving individual activities that could directly influence final exam successful passing. The model was created using decision tree classifier and experiments were performed using the WEKA data mining tool. The effect of input attributes on the model performances was analyzed and applying appropriate techniques a higher accuracy of the generated model was achieved.

The exponential growth in the use of computers over networks, as well as the proliferation of applications that operate on different platforms, has drawn attention to network security. This paradigm takes advantage of security flaws in all operating systems that are both technically difficult and costly to fix. As a result, intrusion is used as a key to worldwide a computer resource's credibility, availability, and confidentiality. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is critical in detecting network anomalies and attacks. In this paper, the data mining principle is combined with IDS to efficiently and quickly identify important, secret data of interest to the user. The proposed algorithm addresses four issues: data classification, high levels of human interaction, lack of labeled data, and the effectiveness of distributed denial of service attacks. We're also working on a decision tree classifier that has a variety of parameters. The previous algorithm classified IDS up to 90% of the time and was not appropriate for large data sets. Our proposed algorithm was designed to accurately classify large data sets. Aside from that, we quantify a few more decision tree classifier parameters.

Data mining is the extraction of information and its roles from a vast amount of data. This topic is one of the most important topics these days. Nowadays, massive amounts of data are generated and stored each day. This data has useful information in different fields that attract programmers’ and engineers’ attention. One of the primary data mining classifying algorithms is the decision tree. Decision tree techniques have several advantages but also present drawbacks. One of its main drawbacks is its need to reside its data in the main memory. SPRINT is one of the decision tree builder classifiers that has proposed a fix for this problem. In this paper, our research developed a new parallel decision tree classifier by working on SPRINT results. Our experimental results show considerable improvements in terms of the runtime and memory requirements compared to the SPRINT classifier. Our proposed classifier algorithm could be implemented in serial and parallel environments and can deal with big data. ABSTRAK: Perlombongan data adalah pengekstrakan maklumat dan peranannya dari sejumlah besar data. Topik ini adalah salah satu topik yang paling penting pada masa ini. Pada masa ini, data yang banyak dihasilkan dan disimpan setiap hari. Data ini mempunyai maklumat berguna dalam pelbagai bidang yang menarik perhatian pengaturcara dan jurutera. Salah satu algoritma pengkelasan perlombongan data utama adalah pokok keputusan. Teknik pokok keputusan mempunyai beberapa kelebihan tetapi kekurangan. Salah satu kelemahan utamanya adalah keperluan menyimpan datanya dalam memori utama. SPRINT adalah salah satu pengelasan pembangun pokok keputusan yang telah mengemukakan untuk masalah ini.

Summary Objectives: Medical data are a valuable resource from which novel and potentially useful knowledge can be discovered by using data mining. Data mining can assist and support medical decision making and enhance clinical managementand investigative research. The objective of this work is to propose a method for building accurate descriptive and predictive models based on classification of past medical data. We also aim to compare this method with other well established data mining methods and identify strengths and weaknesses. Method: We propose T3, a decision tree classifier which builds predictive models based on known classes, by allowing for a certain amount of misclassification error in training in order to achieve better descriptive and predictive accuracy. We then experiment with a real medical data set on stroke, and various subsets, in order to identify strengths and weaknesses. We also compare performance with a very successful and well established decision tree classifier. Results: T3 demonstrated impressive performance when predicting unseen cases of stroke resulting in as little as 0.4% classification error while the state of the art decision tree classifier resulted in 33.6% classification error respectively. Conclusions: This paper presents and evaluates T3, a classification algorithm that builds decision trees of depth at most three, and results in high accuracy whilst keeping the tree size reasonably small. T3 demonstrates strong descriptive and predictive power without compromising simplicity and clarity. We evaluate T3 based on real stroke register data and compare it with C4.5, a well-known classification algorithm, showing that T3 produces significantly more accurate and readable classifiers.
