Data Compression for Data Mining Algorithms, 1e

Xiaochun Wang
Elsevier
364 pages
ISBN: 9780443405419
May 2026

Data Compression for Data Mining Algorithms tackles the important problems in the design of more efficient data mining algorithms by way of data compression techniques and provides the first systematic and comprehensive description of the relationships between data compression mechanisms and the computations involved in data mining algorithms. Data mining algorithms are powerful analytical techniques used across various disciplines, including business, engineering, and science. However, in the big data era, tasks such as association rule mining and classification often require multiple scans of databases, while clustering and outlier detection methods typically depend on Euclidean distance for similarity measures, leading to high computational costs. Data Compression for Data Mining Algorithms addresses these challenges by focusing on the scalarization of data mining algorithms, leveraging data compression techniques to reduce dataset sizes and applying information theory principles to minimize computations involved in tasks such as feature selection and similarity computation. The book features the latest developments in both lossless and lossy data compression methods and provides a comprehensive exposition of data compression methods for data mining algorithm design from multiple points of view. Key discussions include Huffman coding, scalar and vector quantization, transforms, subbands, wavelet-based compression for scalable algorithms, and the role of neural networks, particularly deep learning, in feature selection and dimensionality reduction. The book’s contents are well-balanced for both theoretical analysis and real-world applications, and the chapters are well organized to compose a solid overview of the data compression techniques for data mining. To provide the reader with a more complete understanding of the material, projects and problems solved with Python are interspersed throughout the text.

This textbook captures the latest developments in green infrastructure and offers the skills that are necessary to interpret and solve complex hydrology and hydraulics problems. Integrating traditional hydrologic principles with cutting-edge green infrastructural solutions, it provides a foundation into groundwater dynamics, hydrological processes, and sustainable sewer design. It paves the way for understanding the importance of environmentally conscious practices in water resource management. The book is divided into three parts. Part One offers a deep exploration of groundwater dynamics and describes saturated and unsaturated flow principles. It then explores steady-state and transient well hydraulics, flow nets, and strategies for ensuring sustainable groundwater availability. Part Two largely focuses on hydrology, diving into surface runoff processes, unit hydrographs, and the application of NRCS unit hydrograph methodology. Probability and statistics in hydrology are introduced followed by hydrologic frequency analyses. Lastly, Part Three describes sewer design, green infrastructure, and water transmission. The principles of sewer system design with an emphasis on sustainability and the integration of green infrastructure are discussed. Applied Hydrology and Green Infrastructure Systems is a valuable resource for upper-level undergraduate students in environmental sciences studying engineering hydrology, hydraulics and hydrology. It is also useful for engineers, urban planners, and consultants who are looking for practical guidance to incorporate green infrastructure into urban design and development. This textbook contains case studies, self-assessments, spreadsheet shells, and a solutions manual as additional resources for students and instructors.

Fruit Seeds and Peels for Sustainable Biomaterials explores the utilization of fruit and vegetable waste in the production of bioplastics as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics. The book presents innovative approaches to reducing the carbon footprint of the packaging industry while advancing principles of recyclability, sustainability, and the circular economy. The chapters provide an in-depth examination of various waste valorization techniques and compile global research efforts focused on the transformation of various fruit processing by-products. These industrial wastes are rich in polysaccharides, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which can be further treated to synthesize nanocellulose crystals or fibers using different physicochemical and nonconventional methods. The book highlights the application of these biomaterials in packaging, offering food professionals and other stakeholders sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic polymers. It delivers comprehensive insights into the potential of fruit seeds as a renewable source of biomaterials, and presents valuable scientific information on the technologies involved in using bio-based materials for food preservation. These insights aim to reduce the use of non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials.

A Comprehensive Guide for Novice Researcher in Clinical Trials is a must-have resource for individuals embarking on the journey of clinical research. This book is tailored for beginners, offering a clear and structured introduction to the vital principles, methodologies, and skills required to design and conduct robust clinical trials. Spanning 13 chapters, it meticulously covers the entire clinical trial process, emphasizing Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards. From foundational research concepts to advanced trial strategies, the guide empowers readers to confidently navigate the complexities of clinical trials and contribute meaningfully to the field of healthcare. In addition to its foundational content, the book addresses a variety of important topics, such as ethical considerations, regulatory compliance, and the development of trial protocols. It explores different trial designs, types of bias, and the historical evolution of clinical research. Practical sections on data management, monitoring, statistical analysis, and project management offer readers hands-on guidance for real-world application. Notably, the book includes a dedicated focus on regulatory affairs in Saudi Arabia, making it particularly valuable for health professionals in that region.
