Data Mining - Signal (Wanted Variation)

Thomas Bayes

About

Information from all past experience can be divided into two groups:

  • information that is relevant for the future (“signal”). pattern
  • information that is irrelevant (“noise”).

In the real world, a signal is a periodic wave.

Trigonometry - Fourier Transform

The Fourier transform decomposes a function of time (e.g., a periodic signal) into the frequencies that make it up, similarly to how a musical chord can be expressed as the amplitude (or loudness) of its...

What is a Pattern ?

A pattern means that the data (visual or not) are correlated that they have a relationship and that they are predictable. When you have a lack of pattern, you have true randomness When you find a pattern,...
