Data mining is a technique for identifying patterns in large amounts of data and information. Databases, data centers, the internet, and other data storage formats; or data that is dynamically streaming into the network are examples of data sources. This paper provides an overview of the data mining process, as well as its benefits and drawbacks, as well as data mining methodologies and tasks. This study also discusses data mining techniques in terms of their features, benefits, drawbacks, and application areas.
A statistical technique called predictive analysis (or analytics) makes use of machine learning and computers to find patterns in data and forecasts future actions. It is now preferred to go beyond descriptive analytics in order to learn whether training initiatives are effective and how they may be enhanced. Data from the past as well as the present can be used in predictive analysis to make predictions about what might occur in the future. Businesses can improve upcoming learning projects by taking actionable action after identifying the potential risks or possibilities. This chapter compares two predictive analysis models used in the predictive analysis of data: the Generalized Linear Model with Linear Regression (LR) and the Decision Trees with Random Forest (RF). With an RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of 0.0264965 and an arithmetic mean for all errors of 0.016056967, Linear Regression did better in this analysis than Random Forest, which had an RMSE of 0.117875 and an arithmetic mean for all errors of 0.07062315. Through the hyper-parameter tuning procedure, these percentage errors can still be decreased. The combined strategy of combining LR and RF predictions, by averaging, nevertheless produced even more accurate predictions and will overcome the danger of over-fitting and producing incorrect predictions by individual algorithms, depending on the quality of data used for the training.
Lighting is significant built environment design criteria, and architects or designers always keen to expend efforts to deliver optimal lighting solution. Moreover, the lighting energy consumption represents a significant percentage in a building’s energy balance. For these reasons, a suitable way to control the lighting in this field is crucial. The design of control algorithms can be done in various ways, however, in recent years, very useful tools for performing complex lighting assessments are simulation tools. This article deals with a comparison of the results of simulation tools and real measurements and further discusses the possibilities of using these tools to design lighting control algorithms. For the purpose of this paper was used specialized light laboratory where the lighting control is realized via the KNX system. This solution allows the adjustment of luminous intensity and colour temperature for each light separately. Subsequently, the comparison was made for the various configurations of the luminaire settings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
