Introduction to Data Mining

Data Mining—normally available only to large enterprises and often requiring expensive software applications—is a process of organizing and sorting large amounts of data to isolate information relevant to a specific circumstance or business need. SmarterStats brings the power of data mining into an efficient, cost-effective tool accessible to individual website owners, yet powerful enough to handle the requirements of large enterprises. The SmarterStats implementation of data mining is an invaluable method to unlock the answers to complex questions.
