TechNICa Data Mining Using Python Data mining is the process of discovering predictive information from the analysis of large databases. Data mining requiresa diverse set of skills and knowledge of many data mining techniques to take raw data and successfully get insights from it. A real-world example of a suc- cessful data mining application can be seen in automatic fraud detection from banks and credit institutions. Other applications of data mining include genomic sequencing, social network analysis, or crime imaging – but the most common use case is for analyzing aspects of the con- sumer life cycle. Companies use data mining to discover consumer prefer- ences, classify different consumers based on their purchasing activity. Similarly, Governments can datamine the existing data to find out left-out citizens who are eligible for a scheme but missed out or to find out those who are enjoying a scheme benefits but their data shows they are not eligible. The data mining techniques generally used include Regression, Classi- fication, Clustering, Association, Correla- tion and Outlier analysis. Python libraries Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, BeautifulSoap, Seaborn , Matplotlib, Plotly, Scikit Learn, PyCaret, TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch are powerful open source libraries to implement data mining algorithms.
