classifying data mining weka

/in /by

Weka is a suite of machine learning software for data mining tasks. Weka is used at universities throughout the world to teach data mining processes. It is very similar to much more expensive software and does a great job. Weka is the product of the University of Waikato in New Zealand and was first implemented in its modern form in 1997. It uses the GNU General Public License (GPL). The software is written in the Javaâ„¢ language and contains a GUI for interacting with data files and producing visual results.

Once you finish viewing all the video tutorials and have successfully installed Weka, please open the data file “diabetes.arff” and classify the data using the decision tree algorithm (J48). Your report will include a combination of screenshots and written work. In your report, please include:

  • A screenshot of Weka Explore when the file “diabetes.arff” is successfully loaded
  • A screenshot of Weka Explore when the classification is completed
  • After viewing the classification results, please explain the confusion matrix, e.g., what are the True Positive (TP) number, the True Negative (TN) number, the False Positive (FP) number, and the False Negative (FN) number?
  • Please use “Visualize tree” to view the decision tree and include a screenshot of the tree in your report. (100 words)

civil liberties in the u s a amp the constitution

/in /by

NO ESSAY required, but I need to know which Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees “fair hearings” and egalitarian treatment of all citizens, and even all those individuals/free agents here on U.S. soil; further, I need the precise names of the two clauses which guarantee same; along with the year, and the circumstances, in which the Amendment was ratified. (hint: My professor is saying that this Amendment has evolved, through the doctrine of unintended consequences, to provide the “Anchor Baby” theory for emerging American families. He says it is also the reason the so-called “worst” of terrorists are held at “Gitmo” in Cuba, instead of elsewhere on U.S. soil). Hope this helps — remember; no essay — just answers. Thank you in advance/

This Discussion will concentrate on functions and graphs. Understanding the definitions of words is the essence of mathematics. When we understand the meaning of words, finding a solution is much easier because we know what task the problem is asking us to complete.

Part 1

  1. In your own words, define the word “function.”
  2. Give your own example of a function using a set of at least 4 ordered pairs. The domain will be any four integers between 0 and +10. The range will be any four integers between -12 and 5.Your example should not be the same as those of other students or the textbook. There are thousands of possible examples.
  3. Explain why your example models a function. This is extremely important for your learning.
  4. Give your own example of at least four ordered pairs that does not model a function. The domain will be any four integers between 0 and +10. The range will be any four integers between -12 and +5. Your example should not be the same as those of other students or the textbook. There are thousands of possible examples.
  5. Explain why your example does not model a function.

Part 2

  1. Select any two integers between -12 and +12 which will become solutions to a system of two equations.
  2. Write two equations that have your two integers as solutions. Show how you built the equations using your integers. Your solution and equations should not be the same as those of other students or the textbook. There are infinite possibilities.
  3. Solve your system of equations by the addition/subtraction method. Make sure you show the necessary 5 steps. Use the example on page 426 of Mathematics in Our World as a guide.

Answer 2 problems below.  Ensure all questions are answered.  Chart for problem 1 attached

Please complete the following two applied problems:

Problem 1:

Patricia is researching venues for a restaurant business. She is evaluating three major attributes that she considers important in her choice: taste, location, and price. The value she places on each attribute, however, differs according to what type of restaurant she is going to start. If she opens a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles, then taste is the most important attribute, three times as important as location, and two times as important as price. If she opens a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, then location becomes three times as important as taste and two times as important as price. She is considering two venues, respectively, a steak restaurant and a pizza restaurant, both of which are priced the same. She has rated each attribute on a scale of 1 to 100 for each of the two different types of restaurants.

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences.

  1. Which of the two options should Patricia pursue if she wants to open a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles? Calculate the total expected utility from each restaurant option and compare. Graph is not required. Describe your answer, and show your calculations.
  2. Which of the two options should she pick if she plans to open a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area? Describe your answer, and show your calculations.
  3. Which option should she pursue if the probability of finding a restaurant venue in a suburban area can be reliably estimated as 0.7 and in a metropolitan area as 0.3? Describe your reasoning and show your calculations.
  4. Provide a description of a scenario in which this kind of decision between two choices, based on weighing their underlying attributes, applies in the “real-world” business setting. Furthermore, what are the benefits and drawbacks, if any, to this method of decision making?

Problem 2:

The demand function for Newton’s Donuts has been estimated as follows:

Qx = -14 – 54Px + 45Py + 0.62Ax

where Qx represents thousands of donuts; Px is the price per donut; Py is the average price per donut of other brands of donuts; and Ax represents thousands of dollars spent on advertising Newton’s Donuts. The current values of the independent variables are Ax=120, Px=0.95, and Py=0.64.

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

  1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Newton’s Donuts and describe what it means. Describe your answer and show your calculations.
  2. Derive an expression for the inverse demand curve for Newton’s Donuts. Describe your answer and show your calculations.
  3. If the cost of producing Newton’s Donuts is constant at $0.15 per donut, should they reduce the price and thereafter, sell more donuts (assuming profit maximization is the company’s goal)?
  4. Should Newton’s Donuts spend more on advertising?
