Feature Selection Methodology in Quality Data Mining

In many literatures, data mining has been used as a utilization of data warehouse and data collection. The biggest utilizations of data mining are for marketing and researches. This is solely because of the data available for this field is usually in large amount. The usability of the data mining is expandable also to the production process. While the object of research of the data mining in marketing is the customers and products, data mining in the production field is object to the so called 4MlE, man, machine, materials, method (recipe) and environment. All of the elements are important to the production process which determines the quality of the product. Because the final aim of the data mining in production field is the quality of the production, this data mining is commonly recognized as quality data mining. As the variables researched in quality data mining can be hundreds or more, it could take a long time to reveal the information from the data warehouse. Feature selection methodology is proposed to help the research take the best performance in a relatively short time. The usage of available simple statistical tools in this method can help the speed of the mining.
