Abstract

Data preprocessing is a data mining technique that involves transforming raw data into an understandable format. Data pre-processing is an often ignored but important step in the data mining process. Real-world data is often incomplete, inconsistent, and/or lacking in certain behaviors or trends, and is likely to contain many errors. Data preprocessing is a proven method of resolving such issues. Data preprocessing prepares raw data for further processing. Data pre-processing includes cleaning, Integration, Transformation, reduction, etc. This paper analyzes existing work done in the preprocessing steps. A brief overview of various data preprocessing techniques for Data cleaning, Data Integration, Data Transformation, Data reduction, Data Discretization is discussed.
