That is, the data must already be in a graph-knowledge form in order to be effectively mined statistically. To give an example, if a table containing tested-subject responses for a treatment is linked to the treatment-dosing table and the genetic alleles table, then looking for causal response relations is a matter of following these links and calculating the appropriate aggregate statistics. Specifically, if one compares all the responses in conjunction with the drug and dosing used as well as the subject’s genotype, then by applying Bayesian inference, strong interactions between both factors can be identified.

Most of these can be divided into supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Some utilize propositional logic more than others. edu/entries/paradox-simpson/). Patterns may be known (or hypothesized) in advance, but KDD is supposed to aid in the extraction of such patterns based on the statistical structure of the data and any available domain knowledge. Clearly, information comes in a few flavors: quantitative and qualitative (symbolic). KDD was intended to take advantage of both wherever possible.

Aspx). If enough benefits are realized in biomedicine along the way, more organized support will emerge to accelerate the process. , each knows only part of the story). The goal here is to somehow make this disjoint knowledge become common to all. Here, common knowledge is (1) knowledge (ϕ) all members know about (EG ϕ), and importantly (2) something known by all members to be known to the other members. The last item applies to itself as well, forming an infinite chain of ‘he knows that she knows that he knows that.
