The basic methodology of all the techniques presented is explained and illustrated using practical examples. The topics:

  • Introduction to Data Mining
  • Data preprocessing techniques
  • Visualization possibilities
  • Dealing with multivariate issues
  • Overview of the methods of unsupervised learning
  • Overview of the methods of supervised learning
