Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give students the theoretical background of data mining algorithms and techniques and to give the student the ability to select and apply appropriate data mining techniques for different applications. This course will enable a student to learn data preprocessing, association rule mining, classification and prediction, and cluster analysis with applications.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Define basic data mining concepts
2	Apply preprocessing operations on data
3	Determine which data mining technique is appropriate to solve a particular problem
4	Design a data mining model
5	Implement a data mining algorithm
