Data Mining - Overview of data mining process
As mentioned in previous article , data mining, as known as Knowledge Discovery in Database, is process of extracting useful information from unstructured data. The data mining model is also included but not limited to machine learning algorithm. How does it work? To understand about the big picture of data mining process, this is visualized as below: Data Integration These dispersed data distributed into multiple database are integrated into say, data warehouse. Its purpose to prepare the raw data for further processing. In normal practice, a table format with attributes (column), records (row). Sampling Most of data mining models involve complex algorithm and frequently compute. If the data size is too large to be analyzed, sampling is indispensable to reduce the time spending on computation. There are several methods such as simple random, systematic sampling, clustering to achieve reducing the amount of data. Data Exploring So as to observe the structure of the data ...
