Description

Underdevelopment means a situation where resources are not used to their full socio-economic potential, with the result that local or regional development is slower in most cases than it should be. Furthermore, it results from the complex interplay of internal and external factors that allow less developed countries only a lop-sided development progression. Underdeveloped nations are characterized by a wide disparity between their rich and poor populations, and an unhealthy balance of trade. Symptoms of underdevelopment include lack of access to job opportunities, health care, drinkable water, food, education and housing some of the world poorest.

LESSON 6: SKEWNESS AND KURTOSIS Trending!
Skewness refers to lack of symmetry. A skewed distribution is a frequency distribution that is asymmetric (not symmetric). When the longer tail of a distribution extends to the right, it is said to be skewed to the right and when the longer tail of a distribution extends to the left, it said to be skewed to the left.

DATA MINING TECHNIQUES
The paper presents application of data mining techniques to fraud analysis. We present some classification and prediction data mining techniques which we consider important to handle fraud detection. There exist a number of data mining algorithms and we present statistics-based algorithm, decision treebased algorithm and rule-based algorithm. We present Bayesian classification model to detect fraud in automobile insurance. Naïve Bayesian visualization is selected to analyze and interpret the classifier predictions. We illustrate how ROC curves can be deployed for model assessment in order to provide a more intuitive analysis of the models
