Abstract

Web mining is combination of two activated research areas Data Mining and World Wide Web. Web mining is used for mining the interested knowledge from World Wide Web. Web usage mining is used to discover the user access patterns from web server log files. The first step of web usage mining called as data pre-processing used for gaining an accurate web log mining results and good quality input data. The session identification is accomplished by time oriented heuristics. The focus is on referrer log which will which contain information about referrer page of the current page. An efficient approach for discovery of navigation pattern can be done by density based clustering algorithm. An online navigation pattern prediction is proposed by use of K nearest neighbor algorithm along with inverted index concept. The prediction accuracy of patterns can be increased by modifying TF-IDF values to include time spent on page.
