Web mining, a type of data mining used in customer relationship management (CRM), takes advantage of the huge amount of information gathered by a Web site to look for patterns in user behavior. Data mining is sorting through data to identify patterns and establish relationships. Data mining parameters include: Regression - In statistics, regression analysis includes any techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. Sequence or path analysis - looking for patterns where one event leads to another later event. Classification - looking for new patterns. Clustering - finding and visually documenting groups. Decision Trees ¨C Decision trees are commonly used in operations research, specifically in decision analysis, to help identify a strategy most likely to reach a goal %U http://www.ijctee.org/files/VOLUME2ISSUE1/IJCTEE_0212_39.pdf
