华南理工大学计算机科学与工程学院 2004—2005学年度第一学期期末考试 《数据挖掘与数据仓库技术》试 卷 专业：双语班 年级：2001 姓名： 学号： Close (1 point per blank, the total: 20 points) A data warehouse is a (subject-oriented), (integrated), (time-variant) and (nonvolatile) collection of data in support of management’s decision making process. P40 The most popular data model for a data warehouse is a multidimensional model. Such a model can exist in the form of a (star) schema, a (snowflake) schema, or a (fact constellation) schema. P48 OLTP is the abbreviation for (on-line transaction processing), and OLAP is the abbreviation for (on-line analytical processing). P42 Measures can be organized into the following three categories, based on the kind of aggregate functions used, (distributive), (algebraic), and (holistic). P54 Methods for data preprocessing can be organized into the following categories: (data cleaning), (data integration), (data transformation) and (data reduction). P105 List four knowledge types to be mined: (characterization), (discrimination), (association) and (classification/prediction, clustering). Make a decision: if you think the following statement is right then mark it with (, otherwise mark it with (. (1 point per decision, the total: 10 points) Decision tree induction is an unsupervised learning method. (X) Clustering is a supervised learning method. (X) The OLTP system is operational processing-oriented, while the OLAP system is informational processing-oriented. (() The access operation to the OLTP system is mostly read/write, while the access operation to the OLAP system is mostly read. (() Outlier and noisy data are useless for data mining task and should be removed. (X) For an itemset S, the constraint S ( V is anti-monotone. (X) For an itemset S, the constraint min(S)( v is monotone. (() The aggregate functions min() and max() are distributive, where min() is used to compute the minimum value of a data set and max() is used to compute the maximum value of a data set. (() The aggre
