The process of data mining large amounts of volume was designed to help companies or organizations figure out the behavioral or event patterns that may be occurring. With this kind of data, companies can make better decisions that are actually supported by facts. But exactly what kinds of patterns will data mining actually discover?

Most programs try to find patterns than can be classified as associations or sequences. In other words, it looks for connections between events in subject behavior (associations) or events (or types of events) that lead to another (sequences). These patterns are especially useful for businesses that are trying to quantify consumer behavior, but it can also be used by different organizations to make the decisions that will be very beneficial.
