CLASSIFICATION

Classification of data is typically the task of assigning instances or cases to pre-defined classes (e.g., deciding whether a particular patient record can be associated with a specific disease). In other words, classification is the process of classifying data according to shared qualities or characteristics and identifying to which of a set of categories or classes a new case/instance belongs, on the basis of a training set of data. Data classification has been widely used in many organizations in recent years.
