• The aim is to apply the knowledge about data mining techniques to problems existing the real-world. The stepwise procedure for the project would be as follows:
  1. Choose a problem of interest which is to be solved through the data mining.
  2. Develop a problem framework to which mining algorithms can be applied.

• Gather some relevant data and apply the chosen data mining algorithms to produce the output.

1. Analyze the outcome and draw comparison on the performance of the selected algorithms.
2. Prepare and submit a project report of along with the code and data

• Project Procedure: Following steps are to be completed in order to successfully complete all the requirements of Project activity:
  1. Project Report
