DATA MINING: INTRODUCTION, PROCESS AND WORKING
Abstract
Data mining is a process in which data is collected from different sources and resume it in useful information. Data mining is also known as knowledge discovery in database (KDD). Data mining automates the detection of relevant patterns in a database, using defined approaches and algorithms to look into current and historical data that can then be analyzed to predict future trends. Because data mining tools predict future trends and behaviors by reading through databases for hidden patterns, they allow organizations to make proactive, knowledge-driven decisions and answer questions that were previously too time-consuming to resolve. Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data.
