Each section will describe a number of data mining
algorithms at a high level, focusing on the "big picture" so that the
reader will be able to understand how each algorithm fits into the landscape of
data mining techniques. Overall, six broad classes of data mining
algorithms are covered. Although there are a number of other algorithms and many
variations of the techniques described, one of the algorithms from this
group of six is almost always used in real world deployments of data mining
systems.
