OLAP solutions and statistical methods are well established
tool to analyze data but data mining enable fresh approach to
understand hidden patterns and data prediction. In particular,
data mining has turned to be a very popular among researches
because many ‘‘approachable’’ standalone or desktop data mining
tools are available in the market. From the observation of different
tools, one can notice the following as an example: Microsoft
Excel, SPSS, Weka, Protégé as Knowledge Acquisition System
and Rapid Miner. Some of them (e.g. MS Excel Mining tool) are
normally available to HEI’s professor and they can benefit from
existing knowledge of the Excel. That is the reason to include it
in the research. Weka was choosed among other desktop DM
tools because of supporting the data mining analysis in very different
way, compared with MS Excel. Moreover, Weka is considered
as a very legitimate tool analysis where education
management data is involved
