Faculty in each of these depart- ments teach data mining with a unique emphasis, although there is considerable overlap relative to course offerings, terminology, technology, resources, and faculty publications. Content analysis research aims to describe in detail the range of data mining technology differences and overlap across academic disciplines. Keywords: Data Mining, Statistics, Academics 1. Introduction As a result of these various applications, different software, textbooks, and techniques are being used. To Data mining is essentially the process of uncovering clarify the differences and similarities in each discipline, meaningful new correlations, patterns and trends from
