The decision-making process is based not simply on a collection of data, but on collected, processed, analyzed and comprehended “information”. In that way the information is distinguished from the simply collected data - with its utility and use. The methods used by the experts of Econometrica Ltd. for data mining are various statistical tests, modelling, as well as a powerful set of statistical tools, used in neural networks. The marketing application of Data mining can be represented by: • Consumer modelling – it is based on demographic indicators and sales history. Allows us to determine how the clients would react to a certain product or advertisement. • Users evaluation – it is based on recurring purchases, amounts of money spent and the duration of cooperation. It allows us to clarify who are the company’s most valuable clients. • Users segmentation – what are the common characteristics between the company’s customers and is it possible to group them. • Sales planning – if there is information that the clients purchase products A, B and C, what is the probability of purchasing product D.
