Data mining is the process of discovering useful patterns, relationships and knowledge from large datasets.
It combines statistics, machine learning and database systems to extract actionable information.
Key techniques include classification (assigning items to categories), clustering (grouping similar items), association rule mining (finding relationships, like market basket analysis), and anomaly detection. These reveal trends and support decision-making.
The data mining process follows steps from data cleaning and integration through transformation, mining and pattern evaluation.
