Abstract:

Data mining is a new approach to extract information from large database that is currently gaining the favors of large corporations. After describing the data mining process, the authors propose a methodology for combining data mining techniques with more traditional regression analysis to reach a better understanding of the information contained in a company's database. Two examples, one from the car industry and one from the television industry are used to illustrate the concepts described.
