Estudio descriptivo de la violencia de género en Ecuador utilizando técnicas de minería de datos

Abstract

Gender violence in Ecuador has gone from being considered a private matter to being recognized as a social problem. For this descriptive study, the gender violence repository of INEC was used, where the databases necessary for the analysis were obtained using data mining techniques. The repository contained information on women in different marital statuses: married, single and widowed, to mention a few. The databases were divided into five subsets representing the areas in which violence was manifested. One of the results after applying the decision tree algorithm was in the dataset psychological violence in the educational environment where a score of 1 was obtained, indicating that the model made its prediction correctly. These results are of great importance and contributed to expand the knowledge on gender violence in Ecuador and these bases serve as support for future research in this area.
