Data Mining

Data Mining is the process of discovery and interpretation that uncovers meaningful patterns in raw data, patterns that can be used to address challenging business questions requiring prediction and inference. Data mining helps to reveal previously unknown valuable customer information that can strengthen a company’s decision-making process and empower it to identify new business opportunities.

Key Features

  • Data mining methods are suitable for large data sets and can be more readily automated.
  • The data mining methods, used for extracting hidden patterns from data, are classified into the following two categories: description methods and prediction methods.
    • Description methods are oriented towards data interpretation, which focuses on understanding (by visualization for example) the way the underlying data relates to its parts.
    • Prediction-oriented methods aim to automatically build a behavioral model, which obtains new and unseen samples and is able to predict values of one or more variables related to the sample.
  • Data mining analyzes the data by applying a wide variety of techniques, developed for the efficient handling of large volumes of raw data.
