The  2001  IEEE International Conference  on  Data  Mining  (ICDM '01)
provides a forum  for  the sharing  of  original research results  and
practical development experiences  among  researchers  and application
developers  from different data mining related areas  such as  machine
learning,   automated   scientific   discovery,  statistics,   pattern
recognition, knowledge acquisition, soft computing, databases and data
warehousing,  data visualization,  and  knowledge-based  systems.  The
conference   seeks  solutions  to  challenging   problems  facing  the
development of data mining systems,  and  shapes  future directions of
research   by  promoting  high  quality,  novel  and  daring  research
findings.  As  an important part  of  the  conference,  the  workshops
program will focus on new research challenges and initiatives.

Topics  related to  the design,  analysis  and  implementation of data
mining  theory,  systems  and  applications  are  of  interest.  These
include, but are not limited to the following areas:

  - Foundations and principles of data mining 
  - Data mining algorithms and methods in traditional areas (such as
classification, clustering, probabilistic modeling, and
association analysis), and in new areas
  - Data and knowledge representation for data mining 
  - Modeling of structured, textual, temporal, spatial, multimedia and
Web data to support data mining
  - Complexity, efficiency, and scalability issues in data mining
  - Data pre-processing, data reduction, feature selection and feature
transformation
  - Statistics and probability in large-scale data mining
  - Soft computing (including neural networks, fuzzy logic,
evolutionary computation, and rough sets) and uncertainty
management for data mining
  - Integration of data warehousing, OLAP and data mining 
  - Man-machine interaction in data mining and visual data mining

Web mining and intelligent learning database systems

Conference Publications and ICDM Best Paper Awards
==

High quality papers  in all data mining areas  are  solicited.  Papers
exploring  new  directions  will  receive  a  careful  and  supportive
review.  All submitted papers should be limited to a maximum of  6,000
words (approximately 20 A4 pages),  and  will be reviewed on the basis
of   technical  quality,  relevance  to  data   mining,   originality,
significance,  and clarity.  Accepted papers  will be published in the
conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.  A selected
number of ICDM '01 accepted papers  will be  expanded and revised  for
possible  inclusion  in  the Knowledge and Information Systems journal
(http://kais.mines.edu/~kais/) by Springer-Verlag.

ICDM Best Paper Awards  will be conferred  on the authors  of the best
papers at the conference.

correction procedures

2001-06-02 Thread Bekir

Hello,
 
I am a general surgeon in a state hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
 
I performed a study on " different enteral nutrients and bacterial
translocation in experimental obstructive jaundice."
 
There was 5 groups of rats. Each group consists of 20 rats. Occurred
Translocation incidences in mesenteric lymph nodes were shown in
following table. My aim was to compare groups 2, 3, 4 with
control(group 1)
 
 
Transloc.yes  Transloc.no total
Group 1 sham ligation of bile duct1  1920
   (fed rat chow)
 
Group 2 bile duct ligated 9* 1120
 (fed rat chow)
 
Group 3 bile duct ligated 8**1220
(fed enteral diet)
 
Group 4 bile duct ligated 1  1920
(fed enteral diet 2) 
 
Group 5 bile duct ligated 1  1920
(fed enteral diet 3) 
   
 
   *p=0.008   
  **p=0.02
 
By chi squared test I calculated this p values.
 
The reviewer commented that I should do bonferroni correction, find
adjusted p value and according to this adjusted value, I should say
significant or not. However, in no study have I read that the authors
had written that they had adjusted bonferroni correction, especially
in a comparision by chi square test.
If bonferroni was performed then adjusted p value would be
0.05/10=0.005,
10= nx(n-1) in our study. Thus our results would not be significant. 
Is it appropriate to make bonferroni correction or simes correction in
this situation?
Indeed I want to compare groups 2, 3, 4 with group 1. So there would
be 4
comparison.Is simes procedure is correct? How can I make Simes
correction?
 
Can you help me ? Thank you
 
Bekir Kuru

mutual information "amif function in R"

2001-06-02 Thread rudiG

Just a question for  R porogramming language ( by Adrian
Trapletti).
I don't understand function "amif" and  I need  an interpretation of it.
I would like to know if amif can be used both linear and nonlinear model,
and what is the interval for parameters (surrogate, confidence, ci).
 
I've already tryed to read the R's manuals, but it's not clear (for me).
I' m studyng the nonlinear coefficient R based on mutual information
proposed by  Granger and Lin (1994) in "Using the mutual information
coefficient to identify lags in nonlinear models" for my degree thesis.
 
 
Thanks to all (please help me!!)
Monica

You did not specify, but presumably the chi-square test in question was 
of a series of 2x2 tables, comparing the numbers of translocations that 
occurred (vs. the numbers that didn't) in Group 1 (your control group) 
with each of the other groups.

The 1-degree-of-freedom chi-square test described above is exactly 
equivalent to a z-test comparing the proportion of translocations in 
Group 1 with the proportion of translocations in the other group, for 
each conmparison of interest.  You may perhaps find references to 
Bonferroni adjustments in studies where z- or t-tests were used.

  not the p-value?  -- DFB.]

I do not think so.  The number of comparisons you say you were 
interested in is three, not ten:  
 Group 2 vs. Group 1, Group 3 vs. Group 1, and Group 4 vs. Group 1.
If indeed these are the only comparisons of interest, and in the sense 
that these comparisons (and no others!) were planned from the beginning, 
then the adjusted p-values would be 0.02*3 = 0.06 and 0.008*3 = 0.024.

But I do not believe this, either.  If these were the only three 
comparisons of interest, you would not have bothered to include Group 5 
in the experiment.  It looks to me as though the original design had 
envisioned comparisons of Groups 2, 3, 4, 5 vs. Group 1, and may also 
have intended comparisons of Groups 3, 4, 5 vs. Group 2;  so that the 
number of comparisons for the Bonferroni correction would be either 4, 
or 4+3 = 7.  The corresponding adjusted p-values would be 0.02*4 = 0.08 
and 0.008*4 = 0.032;  or 0.02*7 = 0.14 and 0.008*7 = 0.056.

Then you must mean "compare groups 2, 3, 4, 5 with group 1"?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with this procedure, at least not by that name. 
I hope this has been helpful.
