Data Mining: Fundamentals and Applications

Data mining is the process of extracting and detecting patterns in huge data sets by utilizing approaches that lie at the confluence of machine learning, statistical analysis, and database management systems. Data mining is an interdisciplinary subject of computer science and statistics with the overarching goal of extracting information from a data set and translating the information into a structure that is understandable for the sake of subsequent application. The "knowledge discovery in databases" (also known as "KDD") method includes an analysis step that is known as "data mining." In addition to the phase of raw analysis, it also includes aspects of database management and data management, data pre-processing, model and inference considerations, interestingness measures, complexity considerations, post-processing of newly discovered structures, visualization, and online updating.
