The CRISP-DM Model
The CRISP-DM (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) model is a structured approach for analyzing data to solve business problems. It guides teams through six stages: understanding the business goals, understanding the data, preparing the data, building models, evaluating the models, and deploying the results. This process helps ensure that insights are accurate, relevant, and actionable, improving decision-making. Think of it as a roadmap for turning raw data into useful knowledge, with a clear sequence to follow from problem definition to delivering outcomes.
