This document discusses data reduction strategies for reducing large datasets. It describes data cube aggregation, which aggregates data into a simpler form by combining and summarizing data tables. Attribute subset selection is also covered, which reduces a large number of attributes by eliminating irrelevant attributes. The document provides an example of attribute subset selection using forward selection, backward elimination, and decision tree induction to select the most important attributes of age and gender from a dataset containing name, age, gender, address, and phone number attributes. Data reduction maintains data integrity while reducing volume and improving data mining efficiency on large datasets.
