Overview
The data mining project is an assignment that allows you to conduct an investigation and analysis into an actual data set of your choosing. The analysis should follow the stages of the CRISP-DM so that a uniform approach is taken. There are numerous data sets available online, and a link to a good repository has been given in the Moodle web page earlier in the semester. You are free to choose any data set you prefer, the conditions being that
