Significance Tests for Patterns in Continuous Data

چکیده
In this paper we consider the question of uncertainty of detected patterns in data mining. In particular, we develop statistical tests for patterns found in continuous data, indicating the significance of these patterns in terms of the probability that they have occurred by chance. We examine the performance of these tests on patterns detected in several large data sets, including a data set describing the locations of earthquakes in California and another describing flow cytometry measurements on phytoplankton.

Significance tests for unsupervised pattern discovery in large continuous multivariate data sets
In this paper we consider the question of uncertainty of discovered patterns in data mining. In particular, we develop statistical tests for flagged patterns found in continuous data, where such patterns are perhaps more familiar to statisticians as local modes in the data. We indicate the significance of these patterns in terms of the probability that they have occurred by chance. We examine t...

متن کاملDistribution patterns of Iranian species of Saxifraga with their phytogeographical significance
Numerical analysis of Saxifraga in Iran was carried out on the basis of morphological and chorological data. The cluster analysis confirmed that the genus in Iran includes two distinct groups: Group one consists of two subgroups, a) alpine Irano-Turanian endemic species (S. ramsarica, S. iranica, S. wendelboi, S. koelzii), and b) Euxino-Hyrcanian species (S. paniculata subsp. Cartilaginea, S. k...
