Kdd, semma crisp-dm: a parallel overviee

In the last years there has been a huge growth and consolidation of the Data Mining field. Some efforts are being done that seek the establishment of standards in the area. Included on these efforts there can be enumerated SEMMA and CRISP-DM. Both grow as industrial standards and define a set of sequential steps that pretends to guide the implementation of data mining applications. The question of the existence of substantial differences between them and the traditional KDD process arose. In this paper, is pretended to establish a parallel between these and the KDD process as well as an understanding of the similarities between them.

Análise de desempenho de vendas em telecomunicações utilizando técnicas de mineração de dados

Nowadays, telecommunications is one of the most dynamic and strategic areas in the world. Organizations are always seeking to find new management practices within an ever increasing competitive environment where resources are getting scarce. In this scenario, data obtained from business and corporate processes have even greater importance, although this data is not yet adequately explored. Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) appears then, as an option to allow the study of complex problems in different areas of management. This work proposes both a systematization of KDD activities using concepts from different methodologies, such as CRISP-DM, SEMMA and FAYYAD approaches and a study concerning the viability of multivariate regression analysis models to explain corporative telecommunications sales using performance indicators. Thus, statistical methods were outlined to analyze the effects of such indicators on the behavior of business productivity. According to business and standard statistical analysis, equations were defined and fit to their respective determination coefficients. Tests of hypotheses were also conducted on parameters with the purpose of validating the regression models. The results show that there is a relationship between these development indicators and the amount of sales

Efeito da omissão de nutrientes no crescimento de mudas de cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.) cultivadas em terra roxa estruturada.

Com o objetivo de estudar as limitações nutricionais dos macronutrientes e micronutrientes no crescimento das plantas jovens de cafeeiro arábico Acaiá do Cerrado, em Terra Roxa Estruturada (Nitossolo Vermelho) de Medicilândia, Pará, foi conduzido ensaio em condições de casa de vegetação na Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, Belém, Pará. Utilizou-se a técnica do elemento faltante e o delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente ao acaso, constituído de 15 tratamentos, com 4 repetições dispostos em vasos de plástico contendo 3 kg de solo. A avaliação do experimento foi realizada seis meses ap6s o transplantio com base nas variáveis: altura das plantas, diâmetro do caule, número de folhas, produção de matéria seca nas folhas, caule, raízes e planta inteira. Os resultados permitem concluir que: a) o P afetou somente o crescimento em altura do cafeeiro, o Mo limitou o crescimento em altura e o diâmetro das plantas, enquanto o Zn restringiu o crescimento em altura, diâmetro e número de folhas; b) a produção de matéria seca nas folhas, caule, raízes e planta inteira do cafeeiro foi mais limitada pela omissão individual de P seguida de Zn, Mo, Cu , Fe e S.
