Opis

Data Mining for Bioinformatics enables researchers to meet the challenge of mining vast amounts of biomolecular data to discover real knowledge. Covering theory, algorithms, and methodologies, as well as data mining technologies, it presents a thorough discussion of data-intensive computations used in data mining applied to bioinformatics. The book explains data mining design concepts to build applications and systems. Showing how to prepare raw data for the mining process, the text is filled with heuristics that speed the data mining process.
