# What are the different fields of study in data mining?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would roughly define the different application areas as
|
|
|
|
1) Clustering (unsupervised learning)
|
|
e.g., to find groups of customers based on some similarity
|
|
|
|
2) Predictive modeling (supervised learning)
|
|
2.1) Classification
|
|
e.g., medical diagnosis (sick/healthy), image classification etc.
|
|
2.2) Regression
|
|
e.g., stock trade change prediction
|
|
2.3) Ranking
|
|
e.g., search engine results
|
|
|
|
3) Association rule mining
|
|
e.g., which products do customers frequently buy together
|
|
|
|
4) Anomaly detection
|
|
e.g., credit fraud detection
