Data Mining: The analytical process designed to explore large amounts of data in search of consistent patterns and systematic relationships between variables and then validate the findings by applying the detected patterns to new subsets of data. It is a multidisciplinary approach to discovering useful information from large data sets and is used for various purposes, including market analysis, fraud detection, customer retention, and more. Data mining often involves the use of machine learning and statistical techniques to discover these patterns.
