Abstract

Since early 1980's, the rapid growth of hospital information systems (HIS) stores the large amount of laboratory examinations as databases. Thus, it is highly expected that data mining methods will find interesting patterns from databases as reuse of stored data and be important for medical research and practice because human beings cannot deal with such a huge amount of data. In this paper, we focus on the characteristics of medical data and discuss how data miners deal with medical data.
