Classification of Data Mining Systems:
The data mining system can be classified according to the following criteria:
- Database Technology
- Statistics
- Machine Learning
- Information Science
- Visualization
- Other Disciplines
Some Other Classification Criteria:
Classification according to the kind of databases mined
Classification according to the kind of knowledge mined
Classification according to the kinds of techniques utilized
Classification according to applications adapted
Classification according to the kind of databases mined
We can classify the data mining system according to the kind of databases mined. The database system can be classified according to different criteria such as data models, types of data, etc. And the data mining system can be classified accordingly. For example, if we classify the database according to the data model then we may have a relational, transactional, object-relational, or data warehouse mining system.
Classification according to the kind of knowledge mined
We can classify the data mining system according to the kind of knowledge mined. It means data mining systems are classified based on functionalities such as:
- Characterization
- Discrimination
- Association and Correlation Analysis
- Classification
- Prediction
- Clustering
- Outlier Analysis
- Evolution Analysis
Classification according to the kinds of techniques utilized
We can classify the data mining system according to the kind of techniques used. We can describe these techniques according to the degree of user interaction involved or the methods of analysis employed.
Classification according to applications adapted
We can classify the data mining system according to the application adapted. These applications are as follows:
- Finance
- Telecommunications
- DNA
- Stock Markets
