Abstract
With the progressing of data collecting methods, people have already collected scales of data for various application fields such as medical science, meteorology, electronic commerce and so on. To analyze these data needs to integrate data from the various heterogeneous data sets. As historical reasons technically or non-technically, usually, the schemas of the data sets to be integrated are complex and different. Thus to analyze the integrated data may cause ambiguous results for their non-uniform schemas. This paper targets mining this kind of data, and its main contributions include:(1) proposed schema uncertainty to describe data with non-uniform schemas and proposed couple correlation degree (Cor) to evaluate the existence probabilities for records in data with schema uncertainty based on the analyzing subject;(2) designed a data structure ”B-correlation tree” to establish a hierarchical structure for uncertain data with their existence probabilities and discussed the distribution affection by selecting nodes on different levels of B-correlation tree ; (3) proposed a efficient Monte Carlo uncertain data analyzing algorithm, MonteCarlo-evaluate (MCE), based on B-correlation tree for data with schema uncertainty; (4) analyzed the accuracy and convergence property for MCE theoretically; (5) implemented a prototype system by using B-correlation tree and MCE on real medical data and synthetic TPC-H benchmark?[20] data; provided sufficient experiments to test the effectiveness and efficiency of the provided methods. The results of experiments show that: the provided methods can efficient evaluate the schema uncertainty in data and thus can be equal to the tasks of analyzing large scale data with schema uncertainty efficiently.
