Dataset

Two real datasets


First dataset “training.txt”




Contain the information about nursery applications in a city
9,945 records
8 attributes
1 additional Boolean attribute called “success” indicating
whether the nursery application is successful or not
Second dataset “test.txt”



3,015 records
8 attributes
No additional Boolean attribute

Tasks to be done

Phase 1


Phase 2



To generate an Excel file from two raw files together with
attribute names
To write a design report for this project
To list 5 possible data mining models you want to try
Phase 3



To follow the design report in Phase 2
To predict whether each nursery application in the second
dataset is successful or not by using a data mining tool
(XLMiner)
To write a final report

Very easy to obtain full scores! 
Grading Scheme
Specify the data mining models clearly
(e.g., what model you are using and
what exact set of parameters you are
using)
Note: There are no STANDARD answers.

Phase 1
Excel file

Phase 2
Design Report Follow the design report
Write observations clearly
Analyze the results in a “logical” way
Note: There are no STANDARD answers.

Phase 3 Final Report
Predicted Attribute Files
We will compare your predicted files with
our files.
Note: There is a STANDARD answer.
