Aim:
Implementation of Data Mining Algorithms by Attribute Relation File formats Introduction to Weka (Data Mining Tool) Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset (using GUI) or called from your own Java code (using Weka Java library). Tools (or functions) in Weka include: Data preprocessing (e.g., Data Filters), Classification (e.g., BayesNet, KNN, C4.5 Decision Tree, Neural Networks, SVM), Regression (e.g., Linear Regression, Isotonic Regression, SVM for Regression), Clustering (e.g., Simple K-means, Expectation Maximization (EM)), Association rules (e.g., Apriori Algorithm, Predictive Accuracy, Confirmation Guided), Feature Selection (e.g., Cfs Subset Evaluation, Information Gain, Chisquared Statistic), and Visualization (e.g., View different two-dimensional plots of the data).
Launching WEKA
The Weka GUI Chooser (class weka.gui.GUIChooser) provides a starting point for launching Wekas main GUI applications and supporting tools. If one prefers a MDI (multiple document interface) appearance, then this is provided by an alternative launcher called Main (class weka.gui.Main). The GUI Chooser consists of four buttons one for each of the four major Weka applications and four menus. The buttons can be used to start the following applications: Explorer An environment for exploring data with WEKA (the rest of this documentation deals with this application in more detail). Experimenter An environment for performing experiments and conducting statistical tests between learning schemes. Knowledge Flow This environment supports essentially the same functions as the Explorer but with a drag-and-drop interface. One advantage is that it supports incremental learning. Simple CLI Provides a simple command-line interface that allows direct execution of WEKA commands for operating systems that do not provide their own command line interface.
Data Mining Lab
Working with Explorer Weka Data File Format (Input) The most popular data input format of Weka
is arff (with arff being the extension name of your input data file). Experiment:1 WEATHER RELATION: % ARFF file for weather data with some numeric features @relation weather @attribute outlook {sunny, overcast, rainy} @attribute temperature numeric @attribute humidity numeric @attribute windy {true, false} @attribute play? {yes, no} @data sunny, 85, 85, false, no sunny, 80, 90, true, no overcast, 83, 86, false, yes
Data Mining Lab
PREPROCESSING:
In order to experiment with the application, the data set needs to be presented to WEKA in a format the program understands. There are rules for the type of data that WEKA will accept and three options for loading data into the program. Open File- allows for the user to select files residing on the local machine or recorded medium Open URL- provides a mechanism to locate a file or data source from a different location specified by the user Open Database- allows the user to retrieve files or data from a database source provided by the user
Data Mining Lab
CLASSIFICATION:
The user has the option of applying many different algorithms to the data set in order to produce a representation of information. The best approach is to independently apply a mixture of the available choices and see what yields something close to the desired results. The Classify tab is where the user selects the classifier choices. Figure 5 shows some of the categories.
Output:

CLUSTERING:
The Cluster tab opens the process that is used to identify commonalties or clusters of occurrences within the data set and produce information for the user to analyze. There are a few options within the cluster window that are similar to those S.K.T.R.M College of Engineering 7
Data Mining Lab

described in the Classify tab. These options are: use training set, supplied test set and percentage split. The fourth option is classes to cluster evaluation, which compares how well the data compares with a pre-assigned class within the data. While in cluster mode, users have the option of ignoring some of the attributes from the data set. This can be useful if there are specific attributes causing the results to be out of range, or for large data sets. Figure 6 shows the Cluster window and some of its options. == Run information === Output: Scheme: weka.clusterers.EM -I 100 -N -1 -M 1.0E-6 -S 100 Relation: weather Instances: 14 Attributes: 5 outlook temperature humidity windy play Test mode: evaluate on training data === Model and evaluation on training set = Number of clusters selected by cross validation: 1 Cluster Attribute 0 (1) ====================== outlook sunny 6 overcast 5 rainy 6 [total] 17 temperature mean 73.5714 std. dev. 6.3326 humidity mean 81.6429 std. dev. 9.9111 windy TRUE 7 FALSE 9 [total] 16 play yes 10 no 6 [total] 16 Clustered Instance0 14 (100%) Log likelihood: -9.4063

ASSOCIATION:
The associate tab opens a window to select the options for associations within the data set. The user selects one of the choices and presses start to yield the results. There are few options for this window and one of the most popular, Apriori, is shown in Figure below.

SELECTING ATTRIBUTES:
The next tab is used to select the specific attributes used for the calculation process. By default all of the available attributes are used in the evaluation of the data set. If the user wanted to exclude certain categories of the data they would deselect those specific choices from the list in the cluster window. This is useful if some of the attributes are of a different form such as alphanumeric data that could alter the results. The software searches through the selected attributes to decide which of them will best fit the desired calculation. To perform this, the user has to select two options, an attribute evaluator and a search method. Once this is done the program evaluates the data based on the subset of the attributes, then it performs the necessary search for commonality with the date. Figure 8 shows the opinions of attribute evaluation. OUTPUT: S.K.T.R.M College of Engineering 9

VISUALIZATION:
The last tab in the window is the visualization tab. Using the other tabs in the program, calculations and comparisons have occurred on the data set. Selections of attributes and methods of manipulation have been chosen. The final piece of the puzzle is looking at the information that has been derived throughout the process. The user can now actually see the data displayed in a two dimensional representation of the information. The first screen that the user sees when they select the visualization option is a matrix of plots representing the different attributes within the data set plotted against the other attributes. If a lot of attributes are selected, there is a scroll bar to view all of the produced plots. The user can select a specific plot from the matrix to analyze its contents in a larger, popup window. A grid pattern of the plots allows the user to select the attribute positioning to their liking for better understanding. Once a specific plot has been selected, the user can change the attributes from one view to another.

The Weka Experiment Environment enables the user to create, run, modify, and analyse experiments in a more convenient manner than is possible when processing the schemes individually. For example, the user can create an experiment that runs several schemes against a series of datasets and then analyse the results to determine if one of the schemes is (statistically) better than the other schemes.The Experiment Environment can be run from the command line using the Simple CLI

KNOWLEDGE FLOW
The Knowledge Flow provides an alternative to the Explorer as a graphical front end to Weka's core algorithms. The Knowledge Flow is a work in progress so some of the functionality from the Explorer is not yet available. On the other hand, there are things that can be done in the Knowledge Flow but not in the Explorer.
43
Data Mining Lab

The Knowledge Flow presents a "data-flow" inspired interface to Weka. The user can select Weka components from a tool bar, place them on a layout canvas and connect them together in order to form a "knowledge flow" for processing and analyzing data. At present, all of Weka's classifiers, filters, clusterers, loaders and savers are available in the KnowledgeFlow along with some extra tools. Features of the KnowledgeFlow: * intuitive data flow style layout * process data in batches or incrementally * process multiple batches or streams in parallel! (each separate flow executes in its own thread) * chain filters together * view models produced by classifiers for each fold in a cross validation * visualize performance of incremental classifiers during processing (scrolling plots of classification accuracy, RMS error, predictions etc) omponents available in the KnowledgeFlow: DataSources: All of Weka's loaders are available DataSinks: All of Weka's savers are available Filters: All of Weka's filters are available Classifiers: All of Weka's classifiers are available Clusterers: All of Weka's clusterers are available valuation: TrainingSetMaker - make a data set into a training set TestSetMaker - make a data set into a test set CrossValidationFoldMaker - split any data set, training set or test set into folds TrainTestSplitMaker - split any data set, training set or test set into a training set and a test set ClassAssigner - assign a column to be the class for any data set, training set or test set ClassValuePicker - choose a class value to be considered as the "positive" class.

Property_magnitude 4. job 5. duration 6. crdit_amount 7. installment 8. existing credit Based on the above attributes, we can make a decision whether to give credit or not. checking_status = no checking AND other_payment_plans = none AND credit_history = critical/other existing credit: good checking_status = no checking AND existing_credits <= 1 AND other_payment_plans = none AND purpose = radio/tv: good checking_status = no checking AND foreign_worker = yes AND employment = 4<=X<7: good foreign_worker = no AND personal_status = male single: good checking_status = no checking AND purpose = used car AND other_payment_plans = none: good duration <= 15 AND other_parties = guarantor: good duration <= 11 AND credit_history = critical/other existing credit: good checking_status = >=200 AND num_dependents <= 1 AND property_magnitude = car: good checking_status = no checking AND property_magnitude = real estate AND other_payment_plans = none AND age > 23: good savings_status = >=1000 AND property_magnitude = real estate: good savings_status = 500<=X<1000 AND employment = >=7: good credit_history = no credits/all paid AND housing = rent: bad savings_status = no known savings AND checking_status = 0<=X<200 AND existing_credits > 1: good S.K.T.R.M College of Engineering 75

checking_status = >=200 AND num_dependents <= 1 AND property_magnitude = life insurance: good installment_commitment <= 2 AND other_parties = co applicant AND existing_credits > 1: bad installment_commitment <= 2 AND credit_history = delayed previously AND existing_credits > 1 AND residence_since > 1: good installment_commitment <= 2 AND credit_history = delayed previously AND existing_credits <= 1: good duration > 30 AND savings_status = 100<=X<500: bad credit_history = all paid AND other_parties = none AND other_payment_plans = bank: bad duration > 30 AND savings_status = no known savings AND num_dependents > 1: good duration > 30 AND credit_history = delayed previously: bad duration > 42 AND savings_status = <100 AND residence_since > 1: bad

3. One type of model that you can create is a Decision Tree - train a Decision Tree using the complete dataset as the training data. Report the model obtained after training.
A decision tree is a flow chart like tree structure where each internal node(non-leaf) denotes a test on the attribute, each branch represents an outcome of the test ,and each leaf node(terminal node)holds a class label. Decision trees can be easily converted into classification rules. e.g. ID3,C4.5 and CART.
J48 pruned tree 1. Using WEKA Tool, we can generate a decision tree by selecting the classify tab. 2. In classify tab select choose option where a list of different decision trees are available. From that list select J48. 3. Now under test option ,select training data test option. 4. The resulting window in WEKA is as follows:

5. To generate the decision tree, right click on the result list and select visualize tree option by which the decision tree will be generated.
6. The obtained decision tree for credit risk assessment is very large to fit on the screen.
7. The decision tree above is unclear due to a large number of attributes.

4. Suppose you use your above model trained on the complete dataset, and classify credit good/bad for each of the examples in the dataset. What % of examples can you classify correctly? (This is also called testing on the training set) Why do you think you cannot get 100 % training accuracy?
In the above model we trained complete dataset and we classified credit good/bad for each of the examples in the dataset. For example: IF purpose=vacation THEN credit=bad; ELSE purpose=business THEN credit=good; In this way we classified each of the examples in the dataset. We classified 85.5% of examples correctly and the remaining 14.5% of examples are incorrectly classified. We cant get 100% training accuracy because out of the 20 attributes, we have some unnecessary attributes which are also been analyzed and trained. Due to this the accuracy is affected and hence we cant get 100% training accuracy.
79
Data Mining Lab

5. Is testing on the training set as you did above a good idea? Why Why not?
Bad idea, if take all the data into training set. Then how to test the above classification is correctly or not ? According to the rules, for the maximum accuracy, we have to take 2/3 of the dataset as training set and the remaining 1/3 as test set. But here in the above model we have taken complete dataset as training set which results only 85.5% accuracy. This is done for the analyzing and training of the unnecessary attributes which does not make a crucial role in credit risk assessment. And by this complexity is increasing and finally it leads to the minimum accuracy. If some part of the dataset is used as a training set and the remaining as test set then it leads to the accurate results and the time for computation will be less. This is why, we prefer not to take complete dataset as training set.

6. One approach for solving the problem encountered in the previous question is using cross-validation? Describe what crossvalidation is briefly. Train a Decision Tree again using crossvalidation and report your results. Does your accuracy increase/decrease? Why?
Cross validation:In k-fold cross-validation, the initial data are randomly portioned into k mutually exclusive subsets or folds D1, D2, D3, . . . . . ., Dk. Each of approximately equal size. Training and testing is performed k times. In iteration I, partition Di is reserved as the test set and the remaining partitions are collectively used to train the model.
That is in the first iteration subsets D2, D3, . . . . . ., Dk collectively serve as the training set in order to obtain as first model. Which is tested on Di. The second trained on the subsets D1, D3, . . . . . ., Dk and test on the D2 and so on.
1. Select classify tab and J48 decision tree and in the test option select cross validation radio button and the number of folds as 10. 2. Number of folds indicates number of partition with the set of attributes. 3. Kappa statistics nearing 1 indicates that there is 100% accuracy and hence all the errors will be zeroed out, but in reality there is no such training set that gives 100% accuracy.

7. Check to see if the data shows a bias against "foreign workers"
(attribute 20), or "personal-status"(attribute 9). One way to do this (Perhaps rather simple minded) is to remove these attributes from the dataset and see if the decision tree created in those cases is significantly different from the full dataset case which you have already done. To remove an attribute you can use the reprocess tab in WEKA's GUI Explorer. Did removing these attributes have any significant effect? Discuss.
This increases in accuracy because the two attributes foreign workers and personal status are not much important in training and analyzing. By removing this, the time has been reduced to some extent and then it results in increase in the accuracy. The decision tree which is created is very large compared to the decision tree which we have trained now. This is the main difference between these two decision trees.
After forign worker is removed, the accuracy is increased to 85.9%

If we remove 9th attribute, the accuracy is further increased to 86.6% which shows that these two attributes are not significant to perform training.

8. Another question might be, do you really need to input so many attributes to get good results? Maybe only a few would do. For example, you could try just having attributes 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 17 (and 21, the class attribute (naturally)). Try out some combinations. (You had removed two attributes in problem 7 Remember to reload the ARFF data file to get all the attributes initially before you start selecting the ones you want.)
Select attribute 2,3,5,7,10,17,21 and click on invert to remove the remaining attributes.
Here accuracy is decreased. Select random attributes and then check the accuracy.

After we remove 14 attributes, the accuracy has been decreased to 76.4% hence we can further try random combination of attributes to increase the accuracy. Cross validation

9. Sometimes, the cost of rejecting an applicant who actually has a good credit Case 1. might be higher than accepting an applicant who has bad credit Case 2. Instead of counting the misclassifications equally in both cases, give a higher cost to the first case (say cost 5) and lower cost to the second case. You can do this by using a cost matrix in WEKA. Train your Decision Tree again and report the Decision Tree and cross-validation results. Are they significantly different from results obtained in problem 6 (using equal cost)?
In the Problem 6, we used equal cost and we trained the decision tree. But here, we consider two cases with different cost. Let us take cost 5 in case 1 and cost 2 in case 2. When we give such costs in both cases and after training the decision tree, we can observe that almost equal to that of the decision tree obtained in problem 6. Case1 (cost 5) Case2 (cost 5)
Total Cost
3820 1705
Average cost 3.82 1.705 We dont find this cost factor in problem 6. As there we use equal cost. This is the major difference between the results of problem 6 and problem 9. The cost matrices we used here: Case 1: 5 1 1 5 Case 2: 2 1 12

10. Do you think it is a good idea to prefer simple decision trees instead of having long complex decision trees? How does the complexity of a Decision Tree relate to the bias of the model?
When we consider long complex decision trees, we will have many unnecessary attributes in the tree which results in increase of the bias of the model. Because of this, the accuracy of the model can also effect. This problem can be reduced by considering simple decision tree. The attributes will be less and it decreases the bias of the model. Due to this the result will be more accurate. So it is a good idea to prefer simple decision trees instead of long complex trees. 1. Open any existing ARFF file e.g labour.arff. 2. In preprocess tab, select ALL to select all the attributes. 3. Go to classify tab and then use traning set with J48 algorithm.

11. You can make your Decision Trees simpler by pruning the node s. One approach is to use Reduced Error Pruning - Explain this idea briefly. Try reduced error pruning for training your Decision Trees using cross-validation (you can do this in WEKA) and report the Decision Tree you obtain? Also, report your accuracy using the pruned model. Does your accuracy increase?
Reduced-error pruning:The idea of using a separate pruning set for pruningwhich is applicable to decision trees as well as rule setsis called reduced-error pruning. The variant described previously prunes a rule immediately after it has been grown and is called incremental reduced-error pruning. Another possibility is to build a full, unpruned rule set first, pruning it afterwards by discarding individual tests. However, this method is much slower. Of course, there are many different ways to assess the worth of a rule based on the pruning set. A simple measure is to consider how well the rule would do at discriminating the predicted class from other classes if it were the only rule in the theory, operating under the closed world assumption. If it gets p instances right out of the t instances that it covers, and there are P instances of this class out of a total T of instances altogether, then it gets positive instances right. The instances that it does not cover include N - n negative ones, where n = t p is the number of negative instances that the rule covers and N = T - P is the total number of negative instances. Thus the rule has an overall success ratio of [p +(N - n)] T , and this quantity, evaluated on the test set, has been used to evaluate the success of a rule when using reduced-error pruning. 1. Right click on J48 algorithm to get Generic Object Editor window 2. In this,make reduced error pruning option as true and also the unpruned option as true . 3. Then press OK and then start. 4. We find that the accuracy has been increased by selecting the reduced error pruning option.

12. (Extra Credit): How can you convert a Decision Trees into "if-thenelse rules". Make up your own small Decision Tree consisting of 2-3 levels and convert it into a set of rules. There also exist different classifiers that output the model in the form of rules - one such classifier in WEKA is rules. PART, train this model and report the set of rules obtained. Sometimes just one attribute can be good enough in making the decision, yes, just one! Can you predict what attribute that might be in this dataset? OneR classifier uses a single attribute to make decisions (it chooses the attribute based on minimum error). Report the rule obtained by training a one R classifier. Rank the performance of j48, PART and oneR.
In WEKA, rules.PART is one of the classifier which converts the decision trees into IF-THEN-ELSE rules. Converting Decision trees into IF-THEN-ELSE rules using rules.PART classifier:PART decision list outlook = overcast: yes (4.0) windy = TRUE: no (4.0/1.0) outlook = sunny: no (3.0/1.0) : yes (3.0) Number of Rules : 4 Yes, sometimes just one attribute can be good enough in making the decision. In this dataset (Weather), Single attribute for making the decision is outlook outlook: sunny -> no overcast -> yes rainy -> yes (10/14 instances correct) With respect to the time, the oneR classifier has higher ranking and J48 is in 2 nd place and PART gets 3rd place.
