Data Mining Techniques for the Integrated Postsecondary Data System

Abstract

The Process of generating the necessary information for the Integrated Postsecondary Data System can be tedious; a standard way to collect the information for the different departments is needed. To process it, we use data mining techniques to obtain consistent and replicable results that can be consumed by the end user for multiple criteria analysis. This often reveal patterns that shape the future organizational choices. Some data mining techniques and concepts used will be discussed in further detail on this paper.
