Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In supervised data mining, the user provides inputs in the form of designated patterns or relationships, and the software looks for those specific patterns in a dataset. This is different from unsupervised data mining, which explores patterns and relationships on its own, without user input. Descriptive data mining is a general term that includes both supervised and unsupervised data mining methods. Undirected data mining is not a commonly used term in the data mining field, and therefore, is not the correct answer.
