Fuzzy Modeling and Genetic Algorithms for Data Mining and Exploration is a handbook for analysts, engineers, and managers involved in developing data mining models in business and government. As you''ll discover, fuzzy systems are extraordinarily valuable tools for representing and manipulating all kinds of data, and genetic algorithms and evolutionary programming techniques drawn from biology provide the most effective means for designing and tuning these systems.You don''t need a background in fuzzy modeling or genetic algorithms to benefit, for this book provides it, along with detailed instruction in methods that you can immediately put to work in your own projects. The author provides many diverse examples and also an extended example in which evolutionary strategies are used to create a complex scheduling system.- Written to provide analysts, engineers, and managers with the background and specific instruction needed to develop and implement more effective data mining systems- Helps you to understand the trade-offs implicit in various models and model architectures- Provides extensive coverage of fuzzy SQL querying, fuzzy clustering, and fuzzy rule induction- Lays out a roadmap for exploring data, selecting model system measures, organizing adaptive feedback loops, selecting a model configuration, implementing a working model, and validating the final model- In an extended example, applies evolutionary programming techniques to solve a complicated scheduling problem- Presents examples in C, C++, Java, and easy-to-understand pseudo-code- Extensive online component, including sample code and a complete data mining workbench

This book brings all of the elements of data mining together in a single volume, saving the reader the time and expense of making multiple purchases. It consolidates both introductory and advanced topics, thereby covering the gamut of data mining and machine learning tactics ? from data integration and pre-processing, to fundamental algorithms, to optimization techniques and web mining methodology. The proposed book expertly combines the finest data mining material from the Morgan Kaufmann portfolio. Individual chapters are derived from a select group of MK books authored by the best and brightest in the field. These chapters are combined into one comprehensive volume in a way that allows it to be used as a reference work for those interested in new and developing aspects of data mining. This book represents a quick and efficient way to unite valuable content from leading data mining experts, thereby creating a definitive, one-stop-shopping opportunity for customers to receive the information they would otherwise need to round up from separate sources.- Chapters contributed by various recognized experts in the field let the reader remain up to date and fully informed from multiple viewpoints.- Presents multiple methods of analysis and algorithmic problem-solving techniques, enhancing the reader''s technical expertise and ability to implement practical solutions.- Coverage of both theory and practice brings all of the elements of data mining together in a single volume, saving the reader the time and expense of making multiple purchases.
