Data mining involves finding out patterns of data from within large data sets-The large sets of data can be structured or unstructured-The data mining process involves two phases In the first step we develop data structures which can be used to hold the underlying data sets in a suitable manner-The second phase makes use of several algorithms to generate patterns or learn about the data. This process involves a data mining model -The data mining model encompasses the set of data, statistics and patterns that can be applied to new data to generate predictions and make inferences about relationships. This paper discusses some of the aspects related to how these structures can be created and manipulated for a variety of data. It also discusses how models can be created using several data mining techniques.
