A survey on data mining classification algorithms

Abstract

Data mining refers to extracting or mining knowledge from large amount of data. It is also defined as finding hidden information from a database. It is a technique which is used primarily for discovering unknown patterns and that converts raw data into user understandable information. Nowadays it is being increasingly used in science and technology to extract the vast amount of data. Classification is the separating the given data according to their characteristics similar to one another. These are some of the classification methods Naïve Bayes Classifier, Decision tree, Neural Networks, and Support Vector Machine.
