Preface

Data mining has emerged as a new science—the exploration, algorithmically and systematically, of data in order to extract patterns that can be used as a means of supporting organizational decision making. Data mining has evolved from machine learning and pattern recognition theories and algorithms for modeling data and extracting patterns. The underlying assumption of the inductive approach is that the trained model is applicable to
