The huge amount of information existing in the World Wide Web constitutes an ideal environment to implement data mining techniques. Web mining is the mining of web data. There are different applications of web mining: web content mining, web structure mining and web usage mining. In our study we analyzed an online course by web usage mining techniques in order to optimize the navigation paths, the duration of the time spend on each page and the number of visits throughout the semester of the course. Moreover possible solutions have been proposed to the problems that have been fixed by our work. We conclude the paper with the results of our study.

A new approach for reactive web usage data processing
Bayir, Murat Ali; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Coşar, Ahmet (2006-01-01)
© 2006 IEEE.Web usage mining exploits data mining techniques to discover valuable information from navigation behavior of World Wide Web (WWW) users. The required information is captured by web servers and stored in web usage data logs. The first phase of web usage mining is the data processing phase. In the data processing phase, first, relevant information is filtered from the logs. After that, sessions are reconstructed by using heuristics that select and group requests belonging to the same user session...
Discovering more accurate frequent web usage patterns

Web usage mining is a type of web mining, which exploits data mining techniques to discover valuable information from navigation behavior of World Wide Web users. As in classical data mining, data preparation and pattern discovery are the main issues in web usage mining. The first phase of web usage mining is the data processing phase, which includes the session reconstruction operation from server logs. Session reconstruction success directly affects the quality of the frequent patterns discovered in the n...
Data mining analysis of economic indicators of countries
Güngör, Erdem; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2020-8)
Data Mining is becoming a famous analysis day by day to reveal the hidden information within big data. In the study, we use data mining techniques on the economic indicators of the countries. The four data mining techniques are to be implemented on the dataset. Making homogenous groups of the countries whose economic characteristics are similar are obtained by the Clustering Algorithm. After the clustering algorithm is performed, we pass to Association Rule Data Mining to investigate the most exported produ...
BIG DATA FOR INDUSTRY 4.0: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Gökalp, Mert Onuralp; Kayabay, Kerem; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Koçyiğit, Altan (2016-12-17)
Exponential growth in data volume originating from Internet of Things sources and information services drives the industry to develop new models and distributed tools to handle big data. In order to achieve strategic advantages, effective use of these tools and integrating results to their business processes are critical for enterprises. While there is an abundance of tools available in the market, they are underutilized by organizations due to their complexities. Deployment and usage of big data analysis t...
Efficient and Versatile FPGA Acceleration of Support Counting for Stream Mining of Sequences and Frequent Itemsets
PROSTBOUCLE, Adrien; PETROT, Frederic; LEROY, Vincent; Alemdar, Hande (2017-01-01)
Stream processing has become extremely popular for analyzing huge volumes of data for a variety of applications, including IoT, social networks, retail, and software logs analysis. Streams of data are produced continuously and are mined to extract patterns characterizing the data. A class of data mining algorithm, called generate-and-test, produces a set of candidate patterns that are then evaluated over data. The main challenges of these algorithms are to achieve high throughput, low latency, and reduced p...
