Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="widm1144-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p id="widm1144-para-0001">Subgroup discovery is a broadly applicable descriptive data mining technique for identifying <italic>interesting</italic> subgroups according to some property of interest. This article summarizes fundamentals of subgroup discovery, before that it also reviews algorithms and further advanced methodological issues. In addition, we briefly discuss tools and applications of subgroup discovery approaches. In that context, we also discuss experiences and lessons learned and outline some of the future directions in order to show the advantages and benefits of subgroup discovery. <italic>WIREs Data Mining Knowl Discov</italic> 2015, 5:35–49. doi: 10.1002/widm.1144</p> <p>For further resources related to this article, please visit the <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://wires.wiley.com/remdoi.cgi?doi=10.1002/widm.1144" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">WIREs website</ext-link>.</p> <p>Conflict of interest: The author has declared no conflicts of interest for this article.</p> </abstract>
