1. Definition of Data Mining


Data mining is the process of extracting useful patterns and knowledge from large datasets
using various techniques such as statistical analysis, machine learning, and database
management. It enables organizations to discover hidden patterns, correlations, and trends
that help in decision-making and predictive analysis.

Tasks in Data Mining


• Classification - Categorizing data into predefined groups based on historical data.

• Clustering - Grouping similar data points together without predefined labels.

• Association Rule Mining - Finding relationships between variables in large databases (e.g.,
market basket analysis).

• Anomaly Detection - Identifying unusual patterns that do not conform to expected


behavior.

• Regression Analysis - Predicting continuous values based on input data.

• Summarization - Generating concise representations of datasets for easier analysis.

2. Definition of Data Warehouse


A data warehouse is a centralized repository that stores structured and historical data from
multiple sources, designed for efficient querying, reporting, and analysis. It supports
business intelligence (BI) activities and helps organizations in making data-driven
decisions.
Comparison of OLTP and OLAP
Feature OLTP (On-Line Transaction OLAP (On-Line Analytical
Processing) Processing)
Purpose Handles day-to-day Supports complex analytical
transactions queries
Data Structure Highly normalized tables Denormalized tables for
for fast transactions faster query performance
Operations Insert, Update, Delete Read-heavy queries
(CRUD) (aggregation,
summarization)
Users Operational users (e.g., Business analysts, data
clerks, customers) scientists
Data Volume Smaller, real-time Large volumes of historical
transactional data data
Response Time Fast for simple transactions Slower due to complex
queries
Example Banking transactions, order Sales forecasting, trend
processing analysis

Conclusion
Both data mining and data warehousing are essential components of modern data-driven
enterprises. Data mining helps extract valuable insights from data, whereas data
warehousing ensures that data is efficiently stored and managed for analysis.
