This book provides balanced coverage of the existing results on sequence data mining as well as pattern types and associated pattern mining methods. While there are several books on data mining and sequence data analysis, currently there are no books that balance both of these topics. This volume fills in the gap, allowing readers to access the state-of-the-art results in one place. Sequence Data Mining is designed for professionals working in bioinformatics, genomics, web services, and financial data analysis. This book is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science and bioengineering.

Unlike Dong and Pei's version of Sequence Data Mining, current books do not provide thorough coverage on this topic other books either focus on general data mining, on sequence analysis, or are restricted to results of the authors only Includes both topics: frequent/closed sequence patterns and similarity sequence patterns and motifs

Autorentext
Jian Pei is Associate Professor of Computing Science and the director of Collaborative Research and Industry Relations at the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, Canada. In 2002-2004, he was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo.

Klappentext

Understanding sequence data, and the ability to utilize this hidden knowledge, creates a significant impact on many aspects of our society. Examples of sequence data include DNA, protein, customer purchase history, web surfing history, and more.

Sequence Data Mining provides balanced coverage of the existing results on sequence data mining, as well as pattern types and associated pattern mining methods. While there are several books on data mining and sequence data analysis, currently there are no books that balance both of these topics. This professional volume fills in the gap, allowing readers to access state-of-the-art results in one place.

Sequence Data Mining is designed for professionals working in bioinformatics, genomics, web services, and financial data analysis. This book is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science and bioengineering.

Forward by Professor Jiawei Han, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
