Method, system and program product for evaluating a data mining algorithm

摘要

An improved solution for evaluating one or more data mining algorithms. A set of goals for the data mining algorithm(s) is obtained, and a weight can be assigned to each goal. Each data mining algorithm is applied to a dataset to generate a set of results. A performance value for each data mining algorithm can be calculated based on the weights and set of results. When multiple data mining algorithms are being evaluated, their respective performances can be compared using the respective sets of results and performance values.
