Data Mining for Adverse Event Detection and Action RecommendationAbstractMany real-life data mining applications use sequence data modeling, in which data isrepresented as a sequence. A temporal sequence is a finite ordered list of events (t1,e1),(t2,e2), …,(tn,en) where ti represents time and ei represents the event taking place at time ti.ei takes place before ei+1 for 1≤ i ≤ n-1. This model can be used in data mining, calledsequence data mining, to predict certain event that may take place at a specific time.Sequence data mining has a wide range of applications. This data mining technique canbe used for prediction of adverse events and can recommend appropriate actions to betaken as needed. In aviation safety, the

Thisis an emerging field, and the scope of mechatronics varies from robotics to guided missilesapplications. Some institutions designed mechatronic programs to satisfy growing industry needsin this area1,2, while others make it a concentration area for mechanical engineering students3.Most institutions offer only one course in this area. Mechatronics prepares students to work in aninterdisciplinary engineering team and develop strong skills to solve complex problems thatcross disciplinary boundaries. Figure 1

This improvement has not yet been empirically assessed, though the decrease inthe DFW rate is important because student persistence (defined as students’ continuance to thenext stage towards completion of their program) is a key challenge for many core engineeringcourses. In this study, the authors utilize rigorous cross-sectional regression methods todetermine whether this drop in DFW rates can be directly attributed to increased implementationof ABC features. More specifically, we ask the following two research questions: 1. Is there significant improvement in the DFW rate after controlling for other key student

Some measurements can be performed in a few seconds,with little or no sample adjustment, while others may take much longer.
