Overview of Data Mining

Data mining is the process of discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and database systems. 1 Data mining is an interdisciplinary sub field of computer science and statistics with an overall goal to extract from a data set and transform the information into a comprehensible structure for further use. 1 2 3 4 The process of digging through data to discover hidden connections and predict future trends has a long history. Sometimes referred to as 'knowledge discovery' in databases, the term data mining wasn't coined until the 1990s. What was old is new again, as data mining technology keeps evolving to keep pace with the limitless potential of big data and affordable computing power. Over the last decade, advances in processing power and speed have enabled us to move beyond manual, tedious and time consuming practices to quick, easy and automated data analysis. The more complex the data sets collected, the more potential there is to uncover relevant insights.
