Hi,

Does anyone know anything about data mining?

I want to take a collection of data describing objects, each object will have 20-30 fields describing it and its properties.

Something like: PersonX (Object) -> [ Has A House ] & [ Has Car ] ... [ Has Children]. It can be pictured as a basic sql table.

And then I want to say out of all these objects, object4 has 'the problem'. I then need a system to mine all these objects, and look for correlations between their fields that allow a conclusion to be made on other data sets about which object will have 'the problem'. So essnetially I want to train an algorithm on a test data set, and then unleash it on new data sets to make decisions.

All very abstract, but I did a module in uni on it (now forgotten it all) and I think we used a neural network simulator or something?

Is there any automated programs or systems for analysing data sets and performing data mining to find patterns? Or even any links covering how to approach it.

Thanks.
