Spatial Data Mining(SDM) - Examples
  • Historical Examples
  • London Asiatic Cholera 1854 (Griffith)
  • Dental health and fluoride in water, Colorado
    early 1900s
  • Current Examples
  • Cancer clusters (CDC), Spread of disease (e.g.
    Nile virus)
  • Crime hotspots (NIJ CML, police petrol planning)
  • Environmental justice (EPA), fair lending
    practices
  • Upcoming Applications Location aware services
  • Defense Sensor networks, Mobile ad-hoc networks
  • Civilian Mortgage PMI determination based on
    location

3
Army Relevance of SDM
  • Strategic
  • Predicting global hot spots (FORMID)
  • Army land endangered species vs. training and
    war games
  • Search for local trends in massive simulation
    data
  • Critical infra-structure defense (threat
    assessment)
  • Tactical
  • Inferring enemy tactics (e.g. flank attack) from
    blobology
  • Detection of lost ammunition dumps (Dr.
    Radhakrishnan)
  • Operational
  • Interpretation of maps map matching (locating
    oneself on map)
  • identify terrain feature, e.g. ravines, valleys,
    ridge, etc.
  • Locating enemy (e.g. sniper in a haystack, sensor
    networks)
  • Avoiding friendly fire

4
Spatial Data Mining(SDM) - Definition
  • Search of implicit, interesting patterns in
    geo-spatial data
  • Ex. Reconnaissance, Vector maps(NIMA, TEC), GPS,
    Sensor networks
  • Data Mining vs. Statistics
  • Primary vs. Secondary analysis
  • Global vs. local trends
  • Spatial Data Mining vs. Data Mining
  • Spatial Autocorrelation
  • Continuous vs. Discrete data types

5
Background
  • Spatial Data Mining
  • Spatial statistics in Geology, Regional Economics
  • NSF workshop on GIS and DM (3/99)
  • NSF workshop on spatial data analysis (5/02)
  • Spatial patterns
  • Spatial outliers
  • Location prediction
  • Associations, colocations
  • Hotspots, Clustering, trends,

6
Framework
  • 2 Approaches to mining Spatial Data
  • 1. Pick spatial features use classical DM
    methods
  • 2. Use novel data mining techniques
  • Our Approach
  • Define the problem capture special needs
  • Explore data using maps, other visualization
  • Try reusing classical DM methods
  • If classical DM perform poorly, try new methods
  • Evaluate chosen methods rigourously
  • Performance tuning if needed

7
Spatial Association Rule
  • Citation Symp. On Spatial Databases 2001
  • Problem Given a set of boolean spatial features
  • find subsets of co-located features, e.g. (fire,
    drought, vegetation)
  • Data - continuous space, partition not natural,
    no reference feature
  • Classical data mining approach association rules
  • But, Look Ma! No Transactions!!! No support
    measure!
  • Approach Work with continuous data without
    transactionizing it!
  • confidence Pr.fire at s drought in N(s) and
    vegetation in N(s)
  • support cardinality of spatial join of instances
    of fire, drought, dry veg.
  • participation min. fraction of instances of a
    features in join result
  • new algorithm using spatial joins and apriori_gen
    filters

8
Event Definition
  • Convert the time series into sequence of events
    at each spatial location.

9
Interesting Association Patterns
  • Use domain knowledge to eliminate uninteresting
    patterns.
  • A pattern is less interesting if it occurs at
    random locations.
  • Approach
  • Partition the land area into distinct groups
    (e.g., based on land-cover type).
  • For each pattern, find the regions for which the
    pattern can be applied.
  • If the pattern occurs mostly in a certain group
    of land areas, then it is potentially
    interesting.
  • If the pattern occurs frequently in all groups of
    land areas, then it is less interesting.

10
Association Rules
  • Intra-zone non-sequential Patterns
  • Region corresponds to semi-arid grasslands, a
    type of vegetation, which is able to quickly take
    advantage of high precipitation than forests.
  • Hypothesis FPAR-Hi events could be related to
    unusual precipitation conditions.

Spatial Outliers
  • Spatial Outlier A data point that is extreme
    relative to it neighbors
  • Case Study traffic stations different from
    neighbors SIGKDD 2001, JIDA 2002
  • Data - space-time plot, distr. Of f(x), S(x)
  • Distribution of base attribute
  • spatially smooth
  • frequency distribution over value domain normal
  • Classical test - Pr.item in population is low
  • Q? distribution of diff.f(x), neighborhood
    aggf(x)
  • Insight this statistic is distributed normally!
  • Test (z-score on the statistics) gt 2
  • Performance - spatial join, clustering methods

    etc.
  • Data - maps of nests and attributes
  • spatially clustered nests, spatially smooth
    attributes
  • Classical method logistic regression, decision
    trees, bayesian classifier

Motivation and Framework
28
Spatial AutoRegression (SAR)
  • Spatial Autoregression Model (SAR)
  • y ?Wy X? ?
  • W models neighborhood relationships
  • ? models strength of spatial dependencies
  • ? error vector
  • Solutions
  • ? and ? - can be estimated using ML or Bayesian
    stat.
  • e.g., spatial econometrics package uses Bayesian
    approach using sampling-based Markov Chain Monte
    Carlo (MCMC) method.
  • Likelihood-based estimation requires O(n3) ops.
  • Other alternatives divide and conquer, sparse
    matrix, LU decomposition, etc.

29
Evaluation
  • Linear Regression
  • Spatial Regression
  • Spatial model is better

30
MRF Bayesian
  • Markov Random Field based Bayesian Classifiers
  • Pr(li X, Li) Pr(Xli, Li) Pr(li Li) / Pr
    (X)
  • Pr(li Li) can be estimated from training data
  • Li denotes set of labels in the neighborhood of
    si excluding labels at si
  • Pr(Xli, Li) can be estimated using kernel
    functions
  • Solutions
  • stochastic relaxation Geman
  • Iterated conditional modes Besag
  • Graph cut Boykov

Comparison (MRF-BC vs. SAR)
  • SAR can be rewritten as y (QX) ? Q?
  • where Q (I- ?W)-1 which can be viewed as a
    spatial smoothing operation.
  • This transformation shows that SAR is similar to
    linear logistic model, and thus suffers with same
    limitations i.e., SAR model assumes linear
    separability of classes in transformed feature
    space
  • SAR model also make more restrictive assumptions
    about the distribution of features and class
    shapes than MRF
  • The relationship between SAR and MRF are
    analogous to the relationship between logistic
    regression and Bayesian classifiers.
  • Our experimental results shows that MRF model
    yields better spatial and classification
    accuracies than SAR predictions.

Conclusion and Future Directions
  • Spatial domains may not satisfy assumptions of
    classical methods
  • data auto-correlation, continuous geographic
    space
  • patterns global vs. local, e.g. spatial outliers
    vs. outliers
  • data exploration maps and albums
  • Open Issues
  • patterns hot-spots, blobology (shape), spatial
    trends,
  • metrics spatial accuracy(predicted locations),
    spatial contiguity(clusters)
  • spatio-temporal dataset
  • scale and resolutions sentivity of patterns
  • geo-statistical confidence measure for mined
    patterns
