    Including regression (i.e. standard linear regression, including multiple regression), and logistic regression is a very good idea. They are both very useful tools, and relatively easy to code up.

    But PLEASE DON'T call this "data mining" in the final release. Regression is a statistical analysis tool that can be used (or abused) in the higher-level process of what some people call "data mining". Data mining is the process of searching through many possible models in an attempt to find relationships; this is different from carrying out a regression.
