Definition:
Data mining is the process of analyzing hidden patterns of data according to different perspectives of categorization into useful information, which is collected and assembled in common areas, such as data warehouses, for efficient analysis, data mining algorithms, facilitating business decision making and other requirements necessary to obtain the information that ultimately reduce costs and increase revenue.
The most commonly used algorithms for data mining are classification algorithms and regression algorithms, which are used to identify relationships between data elements. Major database vendors such as Oracle and SQL incorporate data mining algorithms, such as clustering and regression, to meet the demand for data mining.
