SOME APPROACHES TO THE ANALYSIS OF DATA IN ARCHEOLOGY
Abstract
In order to accomplish up-to-date tasks, archeology must use one of the recent areas of Artificial Intelligence – «intellectual data analysis» which is a brief and imprecise translation from English of the terms «Data Mining» and «Knowledge Discovery in Databases» (DM & KDD).
For several years, the authors have been conducting research on the statistical analysis of data in archeology. In the course of these studies we have developed a coherent application of methods in archeology with the analysis of citation and identification of scientific schools.
In the course of the studies we used: the methods of analysis of variance; methods of factor analysis and multidimensional scaling; clustering. With the help of clustering, Data Mining allocates various homogeneous groups of data; a procedure to detect the structure of the table. The article provides specially designed tools for ordering an inhomogeneous archaeological information and identifying its structure. The method of re-sampling with replacement. Comparison of the classifications and forming of a generalized classification. In addition, the article works out the method of forming a generalized consolidated classification, based on an analysis of coincidence of different classifications of the same object.
