1. A method for displaying a visual quality indicator for a data mining operation, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation, said user selected mining technique type being used to analyze a collection of data for the data mining operation;
identifying a quality measure type for said user selected mining technique type;
processing said user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation and measuring a quality indicator using said quality measure type;
displaying said measured quality indicator while processing said user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation; and
wherein said step of identifying said quality measure type for said user selected mining technique type includes the steps ofchecking for a user selected quality measure type; and
utilizing an identified user selected quality measure type for said user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation;
said user selected mining technique type comprising one of association, sequential patterns, classification, clustering/segmentation, and value prediction.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for data mining including a feedback mechanism for monitoring performance of mining tasks. A user selected mining technique type is received for the data mining operation. A quality measure type is identified for the user selected mining technique type. The user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation is processed and a quality indicator is measured using the quality measure type. The measured quality indicator is displayed while processing the user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation.
