The solution is based on a thorough approach which involves the creation of new input variables, efficient data preparation and transformation, adequate data sampling strategy and a combination of two of the most robust modeling techniques. Due to the complexity imposed by the very small amount of examples in the target class, the approach for model robustness was to produce the median score of the 11 models developed with an adapted version of the 11-fold cross-validation process and the use of a combination of two robust techniques via stacking, the MLP neural network and the n-tuple classifier. Despite the problem complexity, the performance on the prediction data set (unlabeled samples), measured through KS2 and ROC curves was shown to be very effective and finished as the first runner-up solution of the competition.","PeriodicalId":399104,"journal":{"name":"Strategic Advancements in Utilizing Data Mining and Warehousing Technologies","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123170394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SDMMS architecture includes, among others, a seismological database for efficient and effective querying and a seismological data warehouse for OLAP analysis and data mining. We provide template schemes for these two components as well as examples of their functionality towards the support of decision making.

The data set is from a consumer finance company with the aim of finding solutions for a cross-selling business problem. The company currently has two databases, one for credit card holders and the other for home loan (mortgage) customers and they would like to make use of this opportunity to cross-sell home loans to its credit card holders. Thus, it is of their keen interest to have an effective scoring model for predicting potential cross-sell take-ups. The training dataset contains information on 40,700 customers with 40 input variables, most of which are related to the point of application for the company’s credit card, plus a binary target variable indicating the home loan take-up status. This is a sample of customers who opened a new credit card with the company within a specific 2-year period and did not have an existing home loan with the company. The binary target variable has a value of 1 if the customer then opened a home loan with the company within 12 months after opening the credit abstract","PeriodicalId":399104,"journal":{"name":"Strategic Advancements in Utilizing Data Mining and Warehousing Technologies","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114387621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main motivation to conduct this study is that a fuzzy classifier rule is essentially an “if-then” rule that contains linguistic terms to represent the feature values. This representation of a rule that demonstrates the correlations among the genes is very simple to understand and interpret for domain experts. In this proposed gene selection procedure, instead of measuring the effectiveness of every single gene for building the classifier model, the authors incorporate the impotence of a gene correlation with other existing genes in the process of gene selection. That is, a gene is rejected if it is not in a significant correlation with other genes in the dataset. Furthermore, in order to improve the reliability of this approach, the process is repeated several times in these experiments, and the genes reported as the result are the genes selected in most experiments. This chapter reports test results on five datasets and analyzes the achieved results from biological perspective.
