Abstract

Objectives: The major plan of this research concentrates to generate enhanced web log file using pre-processing stages. Designing an effective web site is a big challenge. With the development of Internet, web sites become a dynamic tool in the world. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Well management and good design are the vital individuality of a web site to congregate the consideration of visitors. There are various methods to generate web log files. An effective analysis is performed on user data on the Educational Institute web site. This can be done on web logs which are generated as a result of user’s access to web page. Data cleaning is performed on this web log file using Advanced Data Cleaning Algorithm (ADC) to generate Enhanced Web Log File. Findings: In this paper, the log file of an educational institute was taken, pre-processed and analyzed using an effective algorithm. The Advanced Data Cleaning Algorithm produced efficient and useful data for performing further stages of Pre-processing. It uses server log files to provide user access patterns. The Enhanced Log File contents are inserted into a database table. Application/Improvement: This paper mainly deals on techniques for enhanced data cleansing, user recognition and session detection for preprocessing stage.
