Algorithms in data mining using matrix and tensor methods

Data mining is the process of finding and extracting valuable knowledge or in-formation from a given and often large set of data.

In many fields of science, engineering, and economics large amounts of data are stored and there is a need to analyze these data in order to extract information for various purposes. Data mining is a general concept involving different tools for performing this kind of analysis. The development of mathematical models and efficient algorithms is of key importance. In this thesis we discuss algorithms for the reduced rank regression problem and algorithms for the computation of the best multilinear…
