Course Description/課程概述:
統計資料採礦是一門新近的熱門研究領域，主要探討如何在高維度、大量或複雜資料
中，使用統計方法發掘潛藏的有用資訊，以提供決策人員參考。
Statistical data mining is a popular research area lately. The main goal is to investigate the
high dimensional, large amount or complex data, and use statistical methods to provide
useful under covered information which can be critical for decision makers.
Course Objectives/教學目標:
本課程以統計角度 ，介紹資料採礦方法 ，並配合統計軟體Splus , R, 和 Insightful
Miner, SAS Enterprise Miner, 和SQL Server的使用，以培養學生從大量和複雜的資料中
發掘資訊的能力。
This course introduces the methods in data mining through the statistical point of view.
Using the software Splus, R, Insightful Miner, SAS Enterprise Miner, and SQL Server,
students will learn the ability to analyze massive and complicated data and will be able to
turn the raw data into valuable information.
