Internet Firewall Data Mining Project

Project Overview

This project applies various data mining techniques to analyze internet firewall data collected from a university's traffic records.

Dataset

Internet Firewall Data Set

Techniques Implemented

1. Preprocessing

   • Data cleaning and preparation
   • Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction

2. Association Rules Mining

   • Discovering interesting relationships in the data
   • Implemented using the Apriori algorithm in IBM SPSS Modeler

3. Classification

   • Decision Tree algorithm
   • K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm

4. Clustering

   • K-means clustering
   • Agglomerative clustering
