Quality Assessment in Data Mining

Data Mining is mainly concerned with methodologies for extracting patterns from large data repositories. There are many data mining methods which accomplishing a limited set of tasks produces a particular enumeration of patterns over data sets. The main tasks of data mining which have already been discussed in previous sections are: i) Clustering, ii) Classification, iii) Association Rule Extraction, iv) Time Series, v) Regression, and vi) Summarization.
