Data mining with neural networks - an applied example in understanding electricity consumption patterns.
P. Brierley, Bill Batty · Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining · 1999
Data mining is the process of analysing data in order to extract useful information. Many techniques exist that can be used in the analysis of data, one of which is artificial neural networks. We explain what a neural network is and how one was used in analysing electricity consumption data from a utility in the UK.
