Indexing Large Trajectory Data Sets With SETI

by V. Prasad Chakka, V. Prasad, Chakka Adam, Adam C. Everspaugh, Jignesh M. Patel , 2003
"... With the rapid increase in the use of inexpensive, location-aware sensors in a variety of new applications, large amounts of time-sequenced location data will soon be accumulated. Efficient indexing techniques for managing these large volumes of trajectory data sets are urgently needed. The key ..."

TrajStore: An Adaptive Storage System for Very Large Trajectory Data Sets

by Philippe Cudre-Mauroux, et al.
"... The rise of GPS and broadband-speed wireless devices has led to tremendous excitement about a range of applications broadly characterized as “location based services”. Current database storage systems, however, are inadequate for manipulating the very large and dynamic spatio-temporal data sets req ..."

Rough Sets.

by Zdzis Law Pawlak , George Allen , Unwin , ; W W London , New Norton , York - Int. J. of Information and Computer Sciences , 1982
"... Abstract. This article presents some general remarks on rough sets and their place in general picture of research on vagueness and uncertainty -concepts of utmost interest, for many years, for philosophers, mathematicians, logicians and recently also for computer scientists and engineers particular ..."

particularly those working in such areas as AI, computational intelligence, intelligent systems, cognitive science, data mining and machine learning. Thus this article is intended to present some philosophical observations rather than to consider technical details or applications of rough set theory. Therefore

Statistical Comparisons of Classifiers over Multiple Data Sets

by Janez Demsar , 2006
"... While methods for comparing two learning algorithms on a single data set have been scrutinized for quite some time already, the issue of statistical tests for comparisons of more algorithms on multiple data sets, which is even more essential to typical machine learning studies, has been all but igno ..."

CURE: An Efficient Clustering Algorithm for Large Data sets

by Sudipto Guha, Rajeev Rastogi, Kyuseok Shim - Published in the Proceedings of the ACM SIGMOD Conference , 1998
"... Clustering, in data mining, is useful for discovering groups and identifying interesting distributions in the underlying data. Traditional clustering algorithms either favor clusters with spherical shapes and similar sizes, or are very fragile in the presence of outliers. We propose a new clustering ..."

of random sampling and partitioning. A random sample drawn from the data set is first partitioned and each partition is partially clustered. The partial clusters are then clustered in a second pass to yield the desired clusters. Our experimental results confirm that the quality of clusters produced by CURE

Estimating standard errors in finance panel data sets: comparing approaches.

by Mitchell A Petersen - Review of Financial Studies , 2009
"... Abstract In both corporate finance and asset pricing empirical work, researchers are often confronted with panel data. In these data sets, the residuals may be correlated across firms and across time, and OLS standard errors can be biased. Historically, the two literatures have used different solut ..."

Data Security

by Dorothy E. Denning, Peter J. Denning , 1979
"... The rising abuse of computers and increasing threat to personal privacy through data banks have stimulated much interest m the techmcal safeguards for data. There are four kinds of safeguards, each related to but distract from the others. Access controls regulate which users may enter the system and ..."

and subsequently whmh data sets an active user may read or wrote. Flow controls regulate the dissemination of values among the data sets accessible to a user. Inference controls protect statistical databases by preventing questioners from deducing confidential information by posing carefully designed sequences

Data Streams: Algorithms and Applications

by S. Muthukrishnan , 2005
"... In the data stream scenario, input arrives very rapidly and there is limited memory to store the input. Algorithms have to work with one or few passes over the data, space less than linear in the input size or time significantly less than the input size. In the past few years, a new theory has emerg ..."

Researchers in Theoretical Computer Science, Databases, IP Networking and Computer Systems are working on the data stream challenges. This article is an overview and survey of data stream algorithmics and is an updated

Implementing data cubes efficiently

by Venky Harinarayan, Anand Rajaraman, Jeffrey D. Ulman - In SIGMOD , 1996
"... Decision support applications involve complex queries on very large databases. Since response times should be small, query optimization is critical. Users typically view the data as multidimensional data cubes. Each cell of the data cube is a view consisting of an aggregation of interest, like total ..."

to materializing the data cube. In this paper, we investigate the issue of which cells (views) to materialize when it is too expensive to materialize all views. A lattice framework is used to express dependencies among views. We present greedy algorithms that work off this lattice and determine a good set of views

Mining Association Rules between Sets of Items in Large Databases

by Rakesh Agrawal, Tomasz Imielinski, Arun Swami - IN: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1993 ACM SIGMOD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT OF DATA, WASHINGTON DC (USA , 1993
"... We are given a large database of customer transactions. Each transaction consists of items purchased by a customer in a visit. We present an efficient algorithm that generates all significant association rules between items in the database. The algorithm incorporates buffer management and novel esti ..."
