Data Mining | IJACSA

Data mining is the process of discovering patterns, correlations, and anomalies in large datasets using methods drawn from statistics, machine learning, and database systems. Core techniques include classification, clustering, association rule mining, regression, and anomaly detection, applied to structured data in relational databases, semi-structured data such as logs and JSON, and increasingly unstructured data such as text and images. A typical workflow involves data cleaning and preprocessing, feature selection or extraction, model application, and validation against held-out data to avoid overfitting. With global data volume estimated to approach 221 zettabytes by 2026 according to industry forecasts, scaling mining algorithms to high-volume, high-dimensional data has become a central research concern. Data mining underlies applications including market basket analysis, customer segmentation, credit risk scoring, predictive maintenance, and scientific data analysis in genomics and astronomy. As an open-access data mining journal, IJACSA covers novel algorithms, comparative performance studies, and domain-specific applications across business, healthcare, and engineering datasets.

Optimizing the C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm using MSD-Splitting

Vol. 11, Issue 10 (2020) · 3 citations

We propose an optimization of Dr. Ross Quin-lan’s C4.5 decision tree algorithm, used for data mining and classification. We will show that by discretizing and binning a data set’s continuous attributes into four groups u…

A Review of Recommender Systems for Choosing Elective Courses

Vol. 11, Issue 9 (2020) · 25 citations

In higher education, students face challenges when choosing elective courses in their study programmes. Most higher education institutions employ advisors to assist with this task. Recommender systems have their origins…
