Survey for Data Mining Application Based on Information Theory

This paper explores the influence of information theory by following the clues of technology and method in data mining in order to understand the way that how to utilize the information theory to solve problems.we analysis those applications which is based on information theory in concrete task of data mining,such as data classification,association rules and cluster analysis.And the conclusion can be made that information theory provides a theoretical basis for data mining technology development,as well as data mining provides application background and new requirements for expansion of information theory.
