Data Mining Classification Algorithms: A Survey

Data mining nowadays became more and more important; it's used to extract knowledge from a large amount of data to help decision-makers to make decisions. Based on the type of the data and the type of the variable we want to predict, we choose the suitable algorithm, classification is one of the different algorithms used in data mining. In this survey paper, we first presented a brief overview about data mining, data mining classification algorithms, and the data mining process, after that, we presented classification algorithms used in data mining for prediction, and we presented previous works and experiments using classification algorithms, such as Decision tree, Logistic regression and Naive Bayes.
