Data Mining Domains

Data mining and machine learning techniques have been used in various domains such as:

a) in medical and healthcare

Example 

Patients receive more affordable and better healthcare services. This happens when healthcare officials use data mining programs to identify and observe high-risk patients and chronic diseases and design the right interventions needed. These programs also reduce the number of claims and hospital admissions, further streamlining the process.It also generates ancillary information necessary for the proper treatment of arterial hypertension, which you can directly send to your doctor on the automatically generated reports.

b) in education

Example

Educational Data Mining (EDM) describes a research field concerned with the application of data mining, machine learning and statistics to information generated from educational settings (e.g., universities and intelligent tutoring systems). At a high level, the field seeks to develop and improve methods for exploring this data, which often has multiple levels of meaningful hierarchy, in order to discover new insights about how people learn in the context of such settings

c) in market forthcast

Market basket analysis is a modelling technique based upon a theory that if you buy a certain group of items you are more likely to buy another group of items. This technique may allow the retailer to understand the purchase behaviour of a buyer.

d) Manufacturing Engineering

Knowledge is the best asset a manufacturing enterprise would possess. Data mining tools can be very useful to discover patterns in complex manufacturing process. Data mining can be used in system-level designing to extract the relationships between product architecture, product portfolio, and customer needs data.
