difficulty was that the bureaucracy that industrial democracy required was not costless. It risked sapping the collective energies that maintained workers’ power. For Hillman, an iterative process of learning—in his socialist youth he would have called it dialectical—offered a basis for achieving democratic control of industry while maintaining class solidarity

Data Mining: Concepts, Models, Methods, and Algorithms

by Mehmed Kantardzić  · 2 Jan 2003  · 721pp  · 197,134 words

. The entire process of applying a computer-based methodology, including new techniques, for discovering knowledge from data is called data mining. Data mining is an iterative process within which progress is defined by discovery, through either automatic or manual methods. Data mining is most useful in an exploratory analysis scenario in which

, system identification is not a one-pass process: Both structure and parameter identification need to be done repeatedly until a satisfactory model is found. This iterative process is represented graphically in Figure 1.1. Typical steps in every iteration are as follows: 1. Specify and parameterize a class of formalized (mathematical) models

sufficiently precisely that a single and simple application of the method will suffice. In fact, what happens in practice is that data mining becomes an iterative process. One studies the data, examines it using some analytic technique, decides to look at it another way, perhaps modifying it, and then goes back to

will be applied in one iteration only for two adjacent intervals with a minimum χ2 and, at the same time, with χ2 < threshold value. The iterative process will continue with the next two adjacent intervals that have the minimum χ2. We will just show one additional step, somewhere in the middle of

of the samples may be selected more than once. Random sampling is not a one-time activity in a data-mining process. It is an iterative process, resulting in several randomly selected subsets of samples. The two basic forms of a random sampling process are as follows. 1. Incremental Sampling. Mining incrementally

of the network. Neuron k is driven by input vector X(n), where n denotes discrete time, or, more precisely, the time step of the iterative process involved in adjusting the input weights wki. Every data sample for ANN training (learning) consists of the input vector X(n) and the corresponding output

will continue either by using new training samples or by using the same data samples in the next iterations. As to when to finish the iterative process is defined by a special parameter or set of parameters called stopping criteria. A learning algorithm may have different stopping criteria, such as the maximum

’s node weight vector and the current input sample, making the node closer to be “representative” for the sample. The SOM learning procedure is an iterative process that finds the parameters of the network (weights w) in order to organize the data into clusters that keep the topological structure. Thus, the algorithm

phase; (b1) count phase; (b2) select phase In our example, because there is no candidate 4-itemset to be constituted from L3, Apriori ends the iterative process. Apriori counts not only the support of all frequent itemsets, but also the support of those infrequent candidate itemsets that could not be eliminated during

that this section only gives a general description of the basics of GAs. Detailed implementations of GAs vary considerably, but the main phases and the iterative process remain. At the end of this section we can summarize that the major components of GA include encoding schemata, fitness evaluation, parent selection, and application

. You may also want to take a look at the gnuplot reference documention for further discussion and additional features. Since the fitting algorithm is an iterative process, it’s not guaranteed to converge. If the iteration doesn’t converge, or converges to an obviously wrong solution, try to initialize the fitting parameters
