Abstract

Knowledge Discovery in Data Bases has been established as a promising area for dealing with the increased stored data that is been generated in our times.Finding good patterns or relations between attributes and data is not an easy task and requires a long,and often painful,process.This article describes the process followed to discover useful patterns on a real data base of road accidents.This article has two main purposes:(i)to present a documented case of a data mining process followed on a real data base with useful hints and lessons learned during the process,and (ii)to present the main results of road accidents in Mexico.
