Abstract

Subgroup discovery is a broadly applicable descriptive data mining technique for identifyinginterestingsubgroups according to some property of interest. This article summarizes fundamentals of subgroup discovery, before that it also reviews algorithms and further advanced methodological issues. In addition, we briefly discuss tools and applications of subgroup discovery approaches. In that context, we also discuss experiences and lessons learned and outline some of the future directions in order to show the advantages and benefits of subgroup discovery.WIREs Data Mining Knowl Discov2015, 5:35–49. doi: 10.1002/widm.1144This article is categorized under:Fundamental Concepts of Data and Knowledge > Motivation and Emergence of Data Mining
