Abstract

We demonstrate how data mining techniques can be applied to complex combinatorial data sets and how data from multiple sources can be aggregated via the developed scientific data management system. An example is shown for the case of aggregated combinatorial data for the study of composition, processing, structure, and property relationships of transparent conducting oxides by applying data mining techniques such as principal component analysis. Data mappings of mined results are shown to effectively enable visualization of data trends, identification of anomalies in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy patterns, and scientifically interesting libraries and spectral regions.
