An Introduction to Data Mining Applied to Health-Oriented Databases

نویسنده

چکیده

The application of data mining (DM) in healthcare is increasing. Healthcare organizations generate and collect large voluminous and heterogeneous information daily and DM helps to uncover some interesting patterns, which leads to the manual tasks elimination, easy data extraction directly from records, to save lives, to reduce the cost of medical services and to enable early detection of diseases. These patterns can help healthcare specialists to make forecasts, put diagnoses, and set treatments for patients in health facilities. This work overviews DM methods and main issues. Three case studies illustrate DM in healthcare applications: (i) In-Vitro Fertilization; (ii) Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR); and (iii) Organ transplantation.

Introducing an algorithm for use to hide sensitive association rules through perturb technique

Due to the rapid growth of data mining technology, obtaining private data on users through this technology becomes easier. Association Rules Mining is one of the data mining techniques to extract useful patterns in the form of association rules. One of the main problems in applying this technique on databases is the disclosure of sensitive data by endangering security and privacy. Hiding the as...

A new approach based on data envelopment analysis with double frontiers for ranking the discovered rules from data mining

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a relatively new data oriented approach to evaluate performance of a set of peer entities called decision-making units (DMUs) that convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. Within a relative limited period, DEA has been converted into a strong quantitative and analytical tool to measure and evaluate performance. In an article written by Toloo et al. (2009...
