Preface
The collation of large electronic databases of scientific and commercial information has led to a dramatic growth of interest in methods for discovering structures in such databases. These methods often go under the general name of data mining. One important subdiscipline within data mining is concerned with the identification and detection of anomalous, interesting, unusual, or valuable records or groups of records, which we call patterns. Familiar examples are the detection of fraud in credit-card transactions, of particular coincident purchases in supermarket transactions, of important nucleotide sequences in gene sequence analysis, and of characteristic traces in EEG records. Tools for the detection of such patterns have been developed within the data mining community, but also within other research communities, typically
