Data Mining has been defined as 'the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data' and 'the science of extracting useful information from large data sets or databases'.
Predictive analytics encompasses a variety of techniques from statistics and data mining that process current and historical data in order to make 'predictions' about future events. Such predictions rarely take the form of absolute statements, and are more likely to be expressed as values that correspond to the odds of a particular event or behaviour taking place in the future.
