Abstract

Increasing volumes of data with the increased availability information mandates the use of data mining techniques in order to gather useful information from the datasets. In this chapter, data mining techniques are described with a special emphasis on classification techniques as one important supervised learning technique. Bioinformatics tools in the field for medical applications especially in medical microbiology are discussed. This chapter presents WEKA software as a tool of choice to perform classification analysis for different kinds of available data. Uses of WEKA data mining tools for biological applications such as genomic analysis and for medical applications such as diabetes are discussed. Data mining offers novel tools for medical applications for infectious diseases; it can help in identifying the pathogen and analyzing the drug resistance pattern. For non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, it provides excellent data analysis options for analyzing large volumes of data from many clinical studies.
