Minería de datos en R aplicada a la determinación de uso de la tecnología en la Escuela Politécnica del Ejército (ESPE)

Abstract

Abstract:The purpose of the Degree Work is to study the use of the internet related to the field of the students of the Army Polytechnic School (ESPE) as well as the impact on the use of the Internet for academic purposes, search for general information and entreteinment activities. Data mining techniques were used on the information collected through surveys applied to ESPE students; subsequently proceeded to use mining techniques such as cluster analysis, relationships between variables and decision trees the same ones that contributed to find repercussions and patterns of Internet use in activities related both in the academic field and also in entertainment. When carrying out the cluster analysis, it was possible to obtain the classification of students in several categories; that is, several profiles were created according to the use of the Internet by the students. Principal Component Analysis was applied to reduce the dimension of the data construct, the variables were grouped into factors that allow observing the underlying structure that holds the data; A classification technique was also applied based on decision trees. This project is of an exploratory nature, where by applying the different techniques of mining it was possible to determine the trend of Internet use with a certain level of intensity for fields such as academics, general navigation and entertainment.
