Data Mining, process of extracting valid,unknown,actionable information from large databases.

Data mining also known as Knowledge-Discovery in Databases (KDD), is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns.

Classification

technique is used to classify the records to form a finite set of possible class classifiers. The model that is produced is usually in the form of a decision tree or a set of rules

Tree where internal nodes are simple decision rules on one or more attributes and leaf nodes are predicted class labels. Eg:Customers renting property>2 years?

Rent property Rent property

Customer age >25 years

Buy property

w1 x2 w2 w3 x3

Try

to find rules of the form

IF <left-hand-side> THEN <right-hand-

side>

This is the reverse of a rule-based agent, where the rules are given and the agent must act. Here the actions are given and we have to discover the rules!

Regression is a data mining technique used to fit an equation to a dataset. The simplest form of regression,lieaner regression ,uses the formula of straight line and determines the appropriate values.

The

art of finding groups in data Objective: gather items from a database into sets according to (unknown) common characteristics Much more difficult than classification since the classes are not known in advance (no training) Technique: unsupervised learning

Purpose
Providing the rules correlate the presence of a set of items with another set of item Examples:
