2. Purpose

   • Find relationship
   • Makes prediction

3. Knowledge discovery in database

   • A comprehensive process of using data mining methods to find useful information and patterns in data
   • Step of KDD

4. Data mining task

   • Classification
     • The process of finding a model for class attribute as a function of the values of other attributes
   • Clustering
     • The process of find cluster from a given set of data points, each having set of attribute and a similarity measure among them
   • Association rule
     • Produce dependency rules which will predict the occurrence of an item from a given set of records which contain some number of item.
   • Deviation analysis
     • Discovering the most significant changes in data from previously measured or normative values

5. Techniques

   • Decision tree
   • Association rule
   • k-means
