The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel reader to the topic of predictive data mining (DM) by discussing technical aspects and requirements of common mining tools. A description of DM scope is followed by comparing DM to related data management and analysis techniques. This is followed by a discussion of a typical predictive DM process, and some of the more successful algorithms and software packages.
