BASIC DATA MINING TASKS

1. Classification
@Classification maps data into predefined groups or classes. @It is often referred to as supervised
learning because the classes are determined before examining the data. Two examples of classification
applications are determining whether to make a bank loan and identifying credit risks. @Classification
algorithms require that the classes be defined based on data attribute values. They often describe these
classes by looking at the characteristics of data already known to belong to the classes.
2. Regression
@Regression is used to map a data item to a real valued prediction variable. @In actuality, regression
involves the learning of the function that does this mapping. @Regression assumes that the target data
fit into some known type of function (e.g., linear, logistic, etc.). @Some type of error analysis is used
to determine which function is "best."
3. Time Series Analysis
@With time series analysis, the value of an attribute is examined as it varies over time. @The values
usually are obtained as evenly spaced time points (daily, weekly, hourly, etc.). @A time series plot, is
used to visualize the time series.
4. Prediction:
@Many real-world data mining applications can be seen as predicting future data states based on past
and current data. @Prediction can be viewed as a type of classification. @The difference is that
prediction is predicting a future state rather than a current state. Here we are referring to a type of
application rather than to a type of data mining modeling approach. @Prediction applications include
flooding, speech recognition, machine learning, and pattern recognition. Although future values may
be predicted using time series analysis or regression techniques, other approaches may be used as well.
5. Clustering
@Clustering is similar to classification except that the groups are not predefined, but rather defined by
the data alone. @Clustering is alternatively referred to as unsupervised learning or segmentation. @It
can be thought of as partitioning or segmenting the data into groups that might or might not be
disjointed. @The clustering is usually accomplished by determining the similarity among the data on
predefined attributes. @The most similar data are grouped into clusters. @Since the clusters are not
predefined, a domain expert is often required to interpret the meaning of the created clusters.
6. Summarization
@Summarization maps data into subsets with associated simple descriptions. @Summarization is also
called characterization or generalization. @It extracts or derives representative information about the
database. @This may be accomplished by actually retrieving portions of the data. @Alternatively,
summary type information can be derived from the data. @The summarization succinctly characterizes
the contents of the database.
7. Association Rules
@Link analysis, alternatively referred to as affinity analysis or association, refers to the data mining
task of uncovering relationships among data. @The best example of this type of application is to
determine association rules. @An association rule is a model that identifies specific types of data
associations. @These associations are often used in the retail sales community to identify items that are
frequently purchased together.
