Data mining in cloud usage data with Matlab's statistics and machine learning toolbox

Abstract

This paper focuses on use of Matlab for data mining. There is wide range of data mining software where free or cheaper solutions offer similar possibilities. We wanted to try Matlab for these purposes. Our data consists of parameters, which describes cloud usage at IT company that offers cloud services. We used phases from the CRISP-DM methodology in our work. We built clustering and classification models that use functions of the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox. In the conclusion we summarize our outcomes, weather Matlab is appropriate to data analysis based on conducted experiments.
