Introduction
What is Data Mining?
Data Mining is the process of
collecting large amounts of raw data
and transforming that data into useful
information.

Data Warehousing?

A Data Warehouse is a computerized


collection of mined data.
Objectives
• Explore the business applications of data mining &
warehousing
• Explain the advantages & disadvantages

• Uncover software used in data mining.

• Find what data mining is used for.

• Discover current trends, regulation, and future uses of the


technology.
What is Data Mining?

Data mining is the practice of


searching through large amounts
of computerized data to find useful
patterns or trends (American
Heritage Dictionary, 2008).
Data Mining Applications

Banking
Detect Fraudulent Activity
Insurance
Risk Assessment
Medicine/Healthcare
Enhance Research
Retail
Track consumer buying trends
Data Mining Software Applications

-SPSS/ SPSS Clementine is a data mining toolkit with a wide variety


of mining methods to choose from. This package is designed to be
used by the normal person with the desire to do their own data mining
projects
-Previously known as yale, RapidMiner is a data mining suite which
makes a wide range of techniques available. . Its easy to use interface
makes it accessible for general use, while its flexibility and
extensibility make it suitable for academic use and adds a number of
useful visualization methods.
-‘SAS Enterprise Miner,’ a tool provided in the package suite, has an
easy to use data-flow GUI. A wide variety of data mining techniques
are supported including: Decision Trees; Neural Networks; Market
Basket Analysis; Clustering; Web Log Analysis; Regression; and Rule
Induction.

•Hardware – growing performance & storage
•Scientific Computing – theory, experiment,
simulation
•Business – Meet higher standard in order to
foresee risks, opportunities, and benefits
for the company

•Growing quickly due to renewal with new methodology frequently discovered


•Applications of uses & methodology to medical, marketing, operations, & others

•The government is closely reviewing the uses of data mining, due to the possibilities
both good and bad
•Counterterrorism data mining has been done, but in some instances has been
deemed a violation of privacy
Future Research Possibilities

• Government’s uses for data mining.


• National Security
• Terrorism Detection
• Identity theft through data mining.
Conclusion/Analysis
• Data mining is the extraction of information that can
predict future trends & behaviors
• Requires a large amount of data to be collected, and
then stored in data warehouse
• Possible violation of privacy in some circumstances

• Government is getting involved with regulation,


despite the counterterrorism program being a
possible violation
