KDD Process of Data Mining
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is the process of discovering useful knowledge from the collection of data.
Here's a simple breakdown of its steps:
- Data Selection: Choosing the relevant data from a larger dataset.
- Data Preprocessing: Cleaning and preparing the data to ensure quality and consistency.
- Data Transformation: Converting the data into a suitable format or structure for analysis.
- Data Mining: Applying algorithms to extract patterns and insights from the data using clustering, classification, or association rule mining techniques to find trends.
- Interpretation/Evaluation: Making sense of the mined data, evaluating the patterns, and turning them into useful knowledge.
