A Goal-oriented Requirement Analysis Approach for the Selection of Data Mining Techniques for Non-Expert Users

The application of data mining techniques for obtaining knowledge has historically required the intervention of experts to obtain satisfactory results. This paper presents a solution proposal for the complex topic of identifying the requirements of non-expert users when trying to perform data mining techniques. The modeling language for objective-oriented requirements analysis i * (i star) has been used to facilitate the use of a taxonomy of requirements. As a result, it is intended that nonexpert users can represent their requirements without having relevant knowledge of data mining techniques. The application in a case study allows as proof of concept, validate the proposed model.
