Survey of Classification Techniques in Data Mining.

Classification is a data mining (machine learning) technique used to predict group membership for data instances. In this paper, we present the basic classification techniques. Several major kinds of classification method including decision tree induction, Bayesian networks, k-nearest neighbor classifier, case-based reasoning, genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic techniques. The goal of this survey is to provide a comprehensive review of different classification techniques in data mining. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
