What is Data Mining and Why is it Important?

Data mining is sorting through large data sets to find the valuable information. It uses software, algorithms, and statistical methods to identify patterns in data, which then helps answer business questions. Data mining techniques are used in many business research areas like marketing, risk management, fraud detection, cybersecurity, medical diagnosis, and in mathematics, and research disciplines like cybernetics, and genetics.
