    • DEFINITION - Data mining is sorting through data to identify patterns and establish relationships.
    • Data mining parameters include:
      • Association - looking for patterns where one event is connected to another event
      • Sequence or path analysis - looking for patterns where one event leads to another later event
      • Classification - looking for new patterns (May result in a change in the way the data is organized but that's ok)
      • Clustering - finding and visually documenting groups of facts not previously known
      • Forecasting - discovering patterns in data that can lead to reasonable predictions about the future (This area of data mining is known as predictive analytics.)

    • data mining: An information extraction activity whose goal is to discover hidden facts contained in databases. Using a combination of machine learning, statistical analysis, modeling techniques and database technology, data mining finds patterns and subtle relationships in data and infers rules that allow the prediction of future results. Typical applications include market segmentation, customer profiling, fraud detection, evaluation of retail promotions, and credit risk analysis.
