20 Chapter 1 IntroduCtIon to data MInIng
data analysis process using the optimally selected data-mining algorithms to
generate useful, expected, or requested knowledge. The knowledge gener-
ated by the KEE is processed further by the query parser and is presented to
the end user as synthesized information. This synthesized information will
eventually be used for effective decision making.
1.5 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF DATA MINING
In this section, four applications are presented to illustrate the potential
implications of data mining. A brief description is given for each appli-
cation. Next, the implication of data mining in each application is given.
The impact and advantages in each application
