The Data Mining Process: Creation of the Analytical File

Richard Boire

Chapter Chapter 6 in Data Mining for Managers, 2014, pp 41-57 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Once the business challenge or problem is identified, analysts have to understand the data and information requirements for conducting the necessary analytics. Analysts do not need to perform a rigorous data needs analysis as would be required for building or designing a database; they are only concerned with what is already there and not with what should be there. When a file and some of its contents have been identified as potentially relevant for an analysis, analysts in most cases request the entire file as one data component in the project.
