Abstract

Data mining, also referred to as database mining or knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), is a new research area that aims at the discovery of useful information from large datasets. Data mining uses statistical analysis and inference to extract interesting trends and events, create useful reports, support decision making,etc. It exploits the massive amounts of data to achieve business, operational or scientific goals.

In this chapter we give an overview of the data mining process and we describe the fundamental data mining problems: mining association rules and sequential patterns, classification and prediction, and clustering. Basic algorithms developed to efficiently process data mining tasks are discussed and illustrated with examples of their operation on real data sets.
