help about rapidminner analysis & design

marwa-gamal

Hi There,

we are group of Computer Science Students, our Graduation Project about Data Mining,
and we are lucky to find an OpenSource Application like yours(RapidMiner)
as it has a lot of awesome features, we are trying to know how to implement these features in our's Application

so we hope to get Answers about our Q+?

1 - is there any documented papers about the analysis and design of RapidMiner?
2 - *How is the Application can deal with different Databases?
3 - if there is a target format that should the input data converted to it, what is that format ?
4 - how the input data can be validated before processing it ??

Thanks in Advance..

Hi

I am happy that you like our solution RapidMiner. However, I slightly get the feeling that you are asking me to do your homework and hence I prefer to give you some links where you can find the information instead of extracting it for you and presenting you answers ready for copy-and-pase 

1 - is there any documented papers about the analysis and design of RapidMiner?

Sure:

Manual and Javadoc API: http://rapid-i.com/content/view/36/210/
White Paper about extending RapidMiner: http://rapid-i.com/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,flypage.tpl/product_id,52/category_id,5/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,180/

2 - *How is the Application can deal with different Databases?

I don't really get what this question really means but anyway...

Web site listing some supported databases: http://rapid-i.com/content/view/181/190/

3 - if there is a target format that should the input data converted to it, what is that format ?

Not really, RapidMiner can read data out of about 20 different formats plus you can specify one of the file based input operators to ready almost every table-based format you can think of. Plus you can read many unstructured data formats and put data into RapidMiner via API calls.

4 - how the input data can be validated before processing it ??

Sorry, I don't get what you are after here but I am sure that after reading all the documentation above and having worked with RapidMiner during this you will be able to answer that yourself 

Cheers,
Ingo
