Abstract
The effects of attribute transformations on numerical data mining are investigated. Theoretical examples from classical mathematics are used to illustrate its critical-ness. The simplest kind of attribution transformations, linear transformations, is applied to stock market and economic data. Some useful “predictive” rules are generated. Here “predictive” is used in the sense that the logical patterns involve time elements.
