Part A:
Question 1: Explaining data mining and describing each of the six phases of CRISP-
DM
Data mining is a practise, which is used by the organisation for examining the large
pre-existing database for generating new information. In addition, from the evaluation it can
be detected that data mining is mainly a tool, which is used for analysing the data and
determining the information, which is needed for analysis purpose. The six phases of
CRISP-DM are depicted as follows.
Business understanding: This phase relevantly evaluates and understands the project
objectives and requirements, which is needed in the data mining process (Larose and
Larose 2014).
Data understanding: This phase mainly familiarises with the data collection process by
identifying data quality issues in the initial stage by evaluating the obvious results.
Data preparation: The phase involves steps of recording and cleansing the data that is to
be used for the data mining process.
Modelling: The process relevantly utilises the overall data mining tools, which has been
used for conducting the data mining tool.
Evaluation: The stage relevant evaluates the overall result and determines, whether it
meets the business objective. The stage identifies different issues that needs to be
addressed for securely completing the evaluation (Wu et al. 2014).
Deployments: The stage relevantly puts the overall model in practise, which eventually help
in continuing the mining of the data.
Question 2: Explaining why data mining is important and describing the elements of
data mining
Data mining is important, as it allows the organisation to evaluate high end data and
determine the output, which is required for future use. There are three elements of data
mining, which are accuracy, relevancy, and specificity that allows the organisation to
evaluate the overall data. The elements of data mining are depicted as follows.

Accuracy: The main elements of data mining is accuracy, as the technical tool requires high
quality and accurate data for comprising the analysis. Hence, accuracy of the data is
essential, as erroneous data will produce erroneous output, which will negative affect the
end results.
Relevancy: Relevancy of the data is also essential, as it allows the organisation for
determining the level of tool and programs, which can be used for harvesting the data. The
harvesting of data needs to be conducted for specific criteria, which helps in accumulating
data and using logical expressions for reigning the harvest parameters (Roiger 2017).
Specificity: The specificity of the data mining process is essential for the organisation, as it
allows the companies to evaluate the data on the basis of the needs. Therefore, the data
collection process needs to be specific, where no extra data needs to be collected, as it
might negatively affect the overall data mining process.
Question 3: Describing the three possible problems in data mining
Data mining has relevant problems, which reduces the functionality and quality of the
result obtained from the process. There are specific problems in data mining process, which
are identified as follows.
 The major problem that occurs from data mining are unavailability of data or difficulty to
access the data. The data mining needs adequate information, where its unavailability
might negatively affect the overall data mining process (Zheng 2015).
 The second problem is dealing with huge database, which will require distributed
approaches for ensuring the selection of adequate data for the mining process.
 The third problem that occurs with data mining process is the poor data quality, which
might negatively affect the overall process. The incorrect and inexact values in the data
mining process might negatively affect the overall results that will be obtained from the
function.
