Abstract

  Data mining is a method which finds useful patterns from large amount of data. Present study discusses few of the data mining techniques, its tools and applications.  Data mining is the process of extracting the useful data, patterns and trends from a large amount of data by using techniques like clustering, classification, association and regression. There are a wide variety of applications in real life. Various tools are available which supports different algorithms. In this paper a summary about data mining tools available and the supporting algorithms are included. Comparison between various tools has also been done to enable the users use various tools according to their requirements and applications. Some of the applications are also given in the study.
