Abstract
This chapter provides an introductory overview of data mining. Data mining, also referred to as knowledge discovery in databases, is concerned with nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information from data in databases. The main focus of the chapter is on different data mining methodologies and their relative strengths and weaknesses.
