Before diving into the algorithms I would like to step back and take a look at the data we will be analyzing with our examples. Where did the data come from? The data originated from the Netflix.com data mining challenge. The challenge was created by Netflix 2-3 years ago to allowed data mining junkies the
Match.com, Singles.com and Netflix.com and countless other sites out there rely on comparing a group of people to answers users submit on a daily basis. Some like Match.com use a long questioner while others, such as Netflix.com, uses renting habits of a user to determine if a the user might like another product. In a

AA is not only where the alcoholics get help but also where were data miners go when they need to find a basic algorithm to locate all the combinations that appear a certain number of times in a set of information. The Apriori algorithm, takes an initial data set, beats it to a pulp, strains
I created this a while back. One of the first Machine Learning algorithms that I implemented in Ruby. Hope it helps people out. ######## # Title: Ruby Implemintation of (Find-S Algorithm) # Description: Find-S algorithm allows us to get a hypothesis that will categorize # our data set to its MOST GENERAL FORM. # Author:
