An action that removes a few novel nontrivial data enclosed in large databases is defined as Data Mining. On noticing the statistical connections between the items that are more regular in the operation databases traditional data mining methods have spotlighted mostly. Numerous functions are using data mining in dissimilar fields like medical, marketing and so on commonly. Several methods and techniques have been extended for mine the in order from the databases. In this study, we provide a comprehensive survey and study of various methods in existence for item set mining based on the utility and frequency and association rule mining based research works and also presented a brief introduction about data mining and its advantages. Moreover we present a concise description about the Data Mining techniques, performance review and the instructions for future research.
