Further objective consists in presenting data mining benefits on the model example that is being displayed in the practical part of the thesis. Besides created data mining models evalution, practical part contains also design of subsequent steps that would enable higher efficiency in some specific areas of given business. I believe previous point together with characterization of knowledge discovery in databases process to be considered as the most beneficial one's of the thesis.
