analytics; In what format must the data be; what steps are necessary to prepare
data appropriately

**What kinds of questions can we answer with data mining

**How data mining models work: the inputs, the outputs, and the nature of the
predictive mechanism

**Evaluation criteria: how predictive models can be assessed and their value
measured
