Why Weka § Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. § The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from your own Java code. § Weka contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression, clustering, association rules, and visualization. § It is also well-suited for developing new machine learning schemes.
About WEKA § Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA) § Developed by the Department of Computer Science, University of Waikato, New Zealand § Machine learning/data mining software coded in Java § Used for research, education, and applications § Exclusively for KDD. § Various Versions are available such as Version 2. 3, 1998; Version 3. 0, 1999; Version 3. 4, 2003; Version 3. 6, 2008.

WEKA ! File WEKA stores data in flat files (ARFF format). Easy to transform EXCEL file to ARFF format. ARFF file consists of a list of instances ARFF file can be created using Notepad or Word. Name of the dataset is with @relation Attribute information is with @attribute Data is with @data. Attribute Relation File Format (ARFF)

Generic. Object. Editor v A Property Editor for objects as editable in the Generic. Object. Editor configuration file, which lists possible values that can be selected from, and themselves configured. v. The configuration file is called "Generic. Object. Editor. props" and may live in either the location given by "user. home" or the current directory (this last will take precedence), and a default properties file is read from the weka distribution.
Weka ~ Generic. Object. Editor v. This Editor allows configure a filter. v. Same kind of dialog box is used to configure other objects, such as classifiers and clusterers.

Algorithms
Feature Selection § Some columns are noisy or redundant. This noise makes it more difficult to discover meaningful patterns from the data; § To discover quality patterns, most data mining algorithms require much larger training data set on high-dimensional data set. § Feature selection, also known as variable selection, feature reduction, attribute selection or variable subset selection, § is the technique of selecting a subset of relevant features for building robust learning models
Attribute Selection § Attribute selection involves searching through all possible combinations of attributes in the data to find which subset of attributes works best for prediction. § To do this, two objects must be set up: Ø The evaluator determines what method is used to assign a worth to each subset of attributes. Ø The search method determines what style of search to be done § The Attribute Selection Mode box has two options: § 1. Use full training set. § 2. Cross-validation.
Attribute Selection § Very flexible: arbitrary combination of search and evaluation methods § Both filtering and wrapping methods § Search methods § best-first § genetic § ranking. . . § Evaluation mmeasures § Relief § information gain § gain ratio. . .

Classification § Classification is a data mining function that assigns items in a collection to target categories or classes. § The goal of classification is to accurately predict the target class for each case in the data. § A classification task begins with a data set in which the class assignments are known. § For example, a classification model that predicts credit risk could be developed based on observed data for many loan applicants over a period of time
Classification ~ Naive Bayes classifier § A naive Bayes classifier assumes that the presence (or absence) of a particular feature of a class is unrelated to the presence (or absence) of any other feature, given the class variable. § For example, a fruit may be considered to be an apple if it is red, round, and about 4" in diameter. § Even if these features depend on each other or upon the existence of the other features, a naive Bayes classifier considers all of these properties to independently contribute to the probability that this fruit is an apple.

Clustering § Clustering is the task of assigning a set of objects into groups (called clusters) so that the objects in the same cluster are more similar (in some sense or another) to each other than to those in other clusters. § Belong to Unsupervised Learning

Association rules § Association rules are if/then statements that help uncover relationships between seemingly unrelated data in a relational database or other information repository. § Finding frequent patterns, associations, correlations, or causal structures among sets of items or objects in transaction databases. § An example of an association rule would be "If a customer buys a dozen eggs, he is 90% likely to also purchase milk. “ § Market Basket Analysis
