Data Mining

Why Data Mining ?

From a managerial perspective:
Wealth generation Analyzing trends

Security

Strategic decision making

Data mining, is the extraction of hidden predictive information from large databases.

1) Data Integration 2) Data Selection 3) Data Cleaning 4) Data Transformation 5) Data Mining 6) Pattern Evaluation and Knowledge Presentation 7) Decisions/ Use of Discovered Knowledge

DATA MINING TECHNIQUES Classical Techniques

- Statistics - Neighborhoods - Clustering

Next Generation Techniques

-Decision Trees -Neural Network

Data warehouse is a computer system designed to give business decision-makers instant access to information.

Difference between Data Mining and Data Warehousing

Data Mining provides the Enterprise withintelligence and Data Warehousing provides the Enterprise with a memory.

Characteristics of a data warehouse Subject-oriented:- data is organized according to subject instead of application. Integrated:- When data resides in many separate applications in the operational environment, encoding of data is often inconsistent. Time-variant:- The data warehouse contains data for comparisions. Non-volatile:- Data are not updated or changed in any way once they enter the data warehouse, but are only loaded and accessed.

Data Warehouse Design Data Warehouse can be designed in two different ways based on Ralph Kimball and Bill Inmon's model
