摘要
We describe the different stages in the data mining process and discuss some pitfalls and guidelines to circumvent them. Despite the predominant attention on analysis, data selection and pre-processing are the most time-consuming activities, and have a substantial influence on ultimate success. Successful data mining projects require the involvement of expertise in data mining, company data, and the subject area concerned. Despite the attractive suggestion of 'fully automatic' data analysis, knowledge of the processes behind the data remains indispensable in avoiding the many pitfalls of data mining.
