**2.2 An overview of data mining techniques**

The study offered an overview of some of the most widely used data mining algorithms. They were divided into two portions, each with its own theme:


The authors discussed a variety of data mining methods so that the reader may see how each algorithm fits into the larger picture of data mining approaches. There were six different types of data mining algorithms presented in all. The Authors noted that, although there are a number of other algorithms and many variations of the techniques that were described, one of the algorithms is almost always used in real-world deployments of data mining systems [4].
