Data Mining and Life Science: A Survey

Abstract

As we are into the age of digital information, the problem of data overload emerges so worryingly ahead. Our ability to analyze and understand immense datasets wrap extreme behind our ability together and stores the data. But a new age group of computational techniques and tools is required to support the extraction of useful knowledge from the rapidly increasing volumes of data. These techniques and tools are the focus of emerging fields of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) and also called data mining. Data mining is highly noticeable in the fields like marketing, e-commerce or e-business or the fame of its use in KDD in other sectors or industries also. Among these sectors that are just discovering data mining are the fields of medicine and public health also. This research paper provides a survey of current technique of data mining/KDD for healthcare.
