Abstract

Data mining and predictive analytics support the discovery and characterization of trends, patterns, and relationships in data through the use of exploratory graphics in combination with advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Results can be understood in terms of their contribution to confirmation and discovery. Confirmation involves the validation, extension, and operationalization of what we know, and discovery includes the identification of new trends, patterns, and relationships.
