1. Rapid Miner Session CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU12015-8-30 Three steps for use  Assign the dataset file first  Select functionality  Execute function using Rapid Miner Sample Datasets  You can use the ARFF format datasets provided in course website.  Or, Proben Datasets from UCI, you need to change the data format to ARFF before use.  Sample dataset link: http://www.cis.syr.edu/~hhuang13/cis600/notes/RM.ppt  Course website link: http://www.cis.syr.edu/~hhuang13/cis600/index.html

2. Step 1 22015-8-30  Download and Install Rapid Miner http://rapid-i.com/content/view/130/82/  Create a Rapid Miner Project ( click “new” icon ) CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

3. Step 1 32015-8-30  Set a data source for project, usually it is a data file( arff format or excel spread format), we use iris data file as an example.  In the left side, right click on the “Root” icon, and choose the “ArffExampleSource” menu to select input datasets as below. Setting data source CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

4. Step1 42015-8-30  Assign the data file to data source Setting data source(cont) CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

5. Step1 52015-8-30  Assign label_attribute to arffExampleSource, this parameter will let RapidMiner know which attribute in your data source is the class attribute. Setting lable_attribute CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

6. Step2 62015-8-30  Choose one of the data mining analysis type for project, such as clustering, classification, decision tree, etc.  For example, we create a choose New Operator-> Learner - >Supervised ->Wake->Tress->W-J48 to create a W-J48 operator. This is decision tree functionality. Select functionality i.e analysis type CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

7. Step2 72015-8-30  Decide the detail parameters for clustering. Decide Parameters CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

8. Step3 82015-8-30  Execute. click the “ ” button in top side to run the clustering. Execute CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

9. Step3 92015-8-30  Check results from output panel. There are different output panels if you choose different analysis function. Check results – text view CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU

10. Step3 102015-8-30  Graph view Check results – graph view CIS 600 Analytical Data Mining,EECS, SU
