Data mining

[Suma]

I want to know about the different forms of KDD in data mining

[Strange]

In case anyone else is wondering, KDD is "Knowledge Discovery in Databases". It's a new one on me.

Theres 3 main approaches to my knowledge, Association, Classification and Clustering, the latter is somewhat random depending on the algorithm.

What specifically do you want to know? Pattern recognition is quite a common topic in data mining.

Is a free ebook providing an insight into data mining using python. It focuses on how companies make recommendations on what somebody will like based on choices other people have made who are similar for them. For example if person A&B both bought the whole harry potter series and person C has bought a number of harry potter books we could make the recommendation that person C might like to read the rest of the harry potter books.

Takes a statistical approach to data mining and looks at instances of cholera on a map and attempts to establish a relationship between them for instance they were all in a similar area.
