Data mining is a generous field for researchers due to its various approaches on knowledge discovery in enormous volumes of data that are stored in different formats. At present, data are widely used all over the world, covering areas such as: education, industry, medicine, banking, inssurance companies, research laboratories, business, military domain etc. The major gain from applying data mining techniques is the discovery of unknown patterns and relations between data which can further help in the decision-making processes. There are two forms of data analysis used to extract models by describing important classes or to predict future data trends: classification and prediction. In this paper, the authors present a comparative study of classification algorithms (i.e. Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes and Random Forest) that are currently applied to demographic data referring to death statistics using KNIME Analytics Platform. Our study was based on statistical data provided by the Nation...

A knowledge-based society determines organizations to focus their activities on improving management quality by using knowledge. Huge data stores become important once the real significance of data is discovered. Data mining techniques are involved in different knowledge processes, as one can notice in various public applications of the researchers. Managers can use these techniques in order to extract patterns, relations,

Reinforcement learning (RL) is learning what to do (how to map situations to actions) to maximize a numerical reward signal. Two characteristics: trial-and-error search and delayed reward are the two most important features of reinforcement learning. RL is different from supervised learning, the kind of learning studied in most current research in machine learning, statistical pattern recognition, and artificial neural
