Data Mining

This document provides an introduction to data mining. It defines data mining as the non-trivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data. Data mining searches for relationships and global patterns in large databases that are hidden among vast amounts of data. It refers to using techniques to identify nuggets of information or decision-making knowledge and extracting these to make predictions, forecasts, and estimations. The document outlines the stages of knowledge discovery in databases and discusses verification and discovery models, issues and challenges in data mining, and application areas.
