Data Mining
Thanks to the Internet, reducing costs of storing the data, cheaper computers andprocessors, specialized software and new means of communication, many companiescollect data permanently during its normal operations, without knowing what to do with it.Data Mining is the result of the need to convert the collected data into useful knowledgeand information.Data Mining identifies trends, key attributes or opportunities through two basic processes:aaaa) Discover knowledge by extracting explicit information about the collected data, whichcan be used later.bbbb) Prediction of future events on statistical models.
The main Data Mining tasks are:
�Classified information in predefined groups.
� Clusters or groups of information not previously defined.
� Regression through a function that models the information with the minimum error, which allows the prediction.
�Association rule that seeks the interrelationship between variables (or fields), for example to find which products are more purchased together.
