Business Problems and Data Science Solutions Part 1

An important principle of data science is that data mining is a process. It includes the application of information technology, such as the automated discovery and evaluation of patterns from data. It also includes an analyst's creativity, business knowledge, and common sense. Understanding the whole process helps to structure data mining projects. Since the data mining process breaks up the overall task of finding patterns from data into a set of well-defined subtasks, it is also useful for structuring discussions about data science.
