Chapter 1 (Introduction)

 Data Warehousing vs. Data Mining:


Data warehousing is a repository of information collected from multiple data source. And
data mining is a process of extraction of interesting patterns or knowledge from huge
amounts of data. An alternatives name of data mining is knowledge discovery from data
(KDD).

 Steps of KDD (Knowledge Discovery from Data) Process:


The following steps are;
 Data cleaning
 Data integration
 Data selection
 Data transformation
 Data mining
 Pattern evaluation
 Knowledge representation

 What kind of data (area) can be mined?


Data can be mined in the following data set:
 Database oriented data set:
- Relational database
- Data warehouse
- Transactional database
 Advance database set:
- Data stream and sensor data
- Time-series data, sequence data
- Object-relational database
- Heterogeneous data set.
- Structured database, graphs, social-network, multi-link data
- Multimedia database
- Text databases
- The World-Wide Web
 What Kinds of Pattern/Knowledge can be mined?
Data can be mined in the following pattern or knowledge:
 Characterization and discrimination
 Frequent pattern, association and correlation
 Classification and regression
 Clustering
 Outliers

 Characterization and Discrimination


Data characterization is a summarization of the general characteristics or features of a
target class of data. And data discrimination is a comparison of the general features of
the target class data objects against the general features of objects from one or multiple
contrasting classes.

 Which Technologies are used?


A different kind of technology are used in data mining with confluence of multiple
discipline. These are;
 Machine learning
 Pattern recognition
 Statistics
 High-performance computing
 Visualization
 Applications
 Algorithm
 Database technology

 Applications of Data Mining:


It is said that “Where there are data, there are data mining applications”. Applications are;
 Retail and telecommunication
 Banking and stock market analysis
 Text and web mining
 Biological and medical data analysis
 Web page analysis
 Data mining and software engineering
 Search engines
 Major Issues in Data Mining:
“Life is short but art is long” according to the notation the issues are grouped in five
categories. These are;
 Mining methodology
 User interaction
 Efficiency and stability
 Diversity of data types
 Data mining and society
