Mid Term Exam 15.062 Data Mining Problem 1 (25 points) For the following questions please give a True or False answer with one or two sentences in justification. 1.1 A linear regression model will be developed using a training data set. Adding variables to the model will always reduce the sum of squared residuals measured on the validation set. 1.2 Although forward selection and backward elimination are fast methods for subset selection in linear regression‚ only step-wise selection is guaranteed

3. DATA MINING TECHNIQUES 3.1 NECESSITY OF DATA MINIING DATA Data is numbers or text which is a statement of a fact. It is unprocessed and stored in database for further analysis. Operational and transaction data such as cost and sales‚ is essential to modern enterprise’s internal environment. Non-operational data such as competitors’ sales and forecasting data‚ is responsible for analysis of external environment. INFORMATION Information is generated through data mining so that it becomes

Systems The goal of the term project is to develop a useful and viable prediction or classification model based on data. You will need to develop a research question‚ which you refine further based on the availability of data. You may need to merge multiple data sets together. Process: • Each team of 2 or 3 students will work on a business problem involving data analysis with real data. The project will focus on classification and prediction methods we covered during the semester. • A presentation
