**Data basics: what kind of data is required for data mining and predictive 
analytics; In what format must the data be; what steps are necessary to prepare 
data appropriately 

**What kinds of questions can we answer with data mining

**How data mining models work: the inputs, the outputs, and the nature of the 
predictive mechanism 

**Evaluation criteria: how predictive models can be assessed and their value 
measured 

**Specific background knowledge to prepare you to begin a data mining project.
